    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Reality as it is, which is the intentional object of a pure consciousness, is the definition of the perfect nature (pariniṣpanna)

    Key Terms

    Cognitive mode(the main claim is that indistinct representation is a fundamentally different mode than rational thinking)
    A distinct way or style that the mind works—like how daydreaming is a different cognitive mode from concentrated studying, each involving different mental processes.
    Madhyamaka(Buddhist metaphysics applied to ethics)
    The philosophical view that nothing exists ultimately; for Śāntideva, the deepest expression of the Buddha's message
    Object of consciousness(as used in epistemology and philosophy of mind)
    Something that your mind can directly think about, perceive, or be aware of on its own.
    Privileged(suggesting that body size shouldn't be treated as more important than other properties)
    Given special treatment or considered more important or fundamental than other things.
