My Contemplation: Parikalpita and Paratantra


Parikalpita (Universally Imagined Nature / Conceptual Fabrication)

: That which cannot arise from its own cause alone and waits upon other conditions to arise


Paratantra (Dependent Nature / Other-Dependent Nature)

: Giving rise to all good and evil through one's own emotions and desires, clinging to them,

  and speculating and conjecturing this way and that through delusory discrimination

This English version was translated by Claude.
