[2] (25) The Real Situations and Recognition.

Real Action to go, the Real World, and the unreal World,

Those Three Kinds of processes do never go ahead,

Therefore following such situations, an action to go, and a person to go, and an accomplished facts,

Can never be recognized at all.

[2] (23) Fusion between a fact to go and a person to go.

Motion to go and a person to go, both go together is going.

Therefore any another expansion does not go further actually,

And then both motion to go, and a person to go, do never appear,

But relying upon only one fact everything totally goes on.

Becoming only into One, or Arriving at the only One Aim,

Might be miscellaneous kinds of things, or the both two kinds of things together.

[2] (18) The Action is just the Real Action itself.

What is just the Real Action is the action to go,

And such a kind of Action is just an Action itself, and so it does never attach to anything other than itself.

With another expression again, the Action to go is just belong to Action itself,

And what is called Action can never be attached by anything other than itself at all.

[2] (12) The Real Action is just at the present moment.

Real Action to go does never appear in the supposition of "not having gone yet."

Real Action to go does never appear in the consciousness of "going on,"

In such a situation Result does never go ahead at all.

[1] (11) Denial of Real Existence in the case of Result.

What are perfectly separated, are never be organized into One System.

Among miscellaneous Real Truths, a concrete Result exists lonely.

How is it possible for such a concrete Result to exist in Real Truth?

Then the Result can never exist as it is in the Real Truth at all.

[1] (10) The Real Substance of the Real Universe.

Belonging to the Concepts of the Existence, might be the losing Characteristics.

In that case the Real Existence might be difficult to be recognized.

Therefore even though the Real World is described as if it were really existing,

It seems to be very difficult to recognize as if it were really existing.

[1] (8) The External World and the System of the Real Universe.

What does never rely upon anything might be this World.

And the Real Universe might be manifested.

Not being supported by anything at all, might be the situations of the Universe,

And so how is it necessary for us to rely upon anything further at all?

[1] (7) The System of the Universe and the Reason.

What is not stable and what is not unstable, are different from what is Real or what is not Real.

And in such a real situation the System of the Universe will be accomplished.

How is it possible for the Accomplishment of the Universe is reasonable?

Because even being Real might be fixed exactly.

[1] (6) The Independency of the Reliable Facts.

It is never what is not exists, but it is never what exists.

The Real Truth is always regulated by its Aim.

How is it possible for the Real Truth does not exist?

But how is it possible for what really exists will serve for another purpose?

[1] (5) The Identity between Things and Phenomena, and the Real Fact.

The clearly manifested those things and phenomena,

Are clearly manifesting themselves as those things and phenomena just in front of us.

And those things and phenomena do not manifest themselves similarly,

How is it possible for anything, which does not really exists, to manifest itself actually.

[1] (4) Identity between Real Action and Real Fact.

The Real Action is just the Real Truth itself.

The Real Action itself is just the Action.

The Real Truth can never be different from the Action itself.

Exactly speaking a Conspicuous Desire to Act exists actually.

[1] (3) The Subjective Existence does never exist, and the Objective Existenth is just the Universe, which is just the Universe at the present moment.

In the case of Nagarjna, the Truth is just our Action at the present moment.

Ideas can never be the Truth.

Sense perception can never be the Truth.

The Truth is just our Action at the present moment.

Therefore the Truth can never exists at the past.

The Truth can never exist in future.

And even though the concepts of the present moment can exists at the past, the present, and the future, the Real Truth of Action can exsist only at the present moment.

[1] (3) The Subjective Existence does never exists, and the Objective Existence does never exists.

Because the Real Action to go is included into the state of going,

How is it necessary for the name of going to be praduced intentionally?

The State that something is going on, might be separated,

Then anything might not appear at all.

[1] (2) The Four Kinds of Real Facts.

We, who are living in the Euro-American Civilization, usually revere the two fundamental philosophies, Idealism and Materialism, so much, but in the First Chapter in MMK, Master Nagarjna does never revere both "something subjective, or Idealism" and "something objective, or Materialism" as the Truth.

And we can interprete that this suggests that he does not affirm both idealistic philosophy and materialistic philosophy as the Truth.

And the reason, why I think so, comes from the fact that he does not think what we think can be the Truth, and what we perceive also can not be the Truth.

In that case what is the Truth?

In the case of Nagarjna we can interprete that the Truth is our Action just at the present moment.

[1] (2) The four kinds of Real Truth.

The four kinds of Real Truth,

Reason, the Objective World, just the Present Moment,

And then just the Real Truth, which is similar to God.

Furthermore, the Fifth does never exist at all.

Philosophical Understanding MMK [1] (1) Whether the Real Truth really exists, or not?

Existence of the Truth

In Greco-Roman Civilization, or Euro-American Civilization, we, Human Beings, have been doubting the existence of the only one Truth for thousands of years.

We have been believing the two fundamental philosophies, that is Idealism and Materialism.

But in that case we should think that such a kind of belief, which equally believes in the two fundamental philosophies, Idealism and Materialism, suggests that, we, Human Beings, have been believing absolutely the two philosophies, and such a kind of existent two philosophies indicates that we, Human Beings, haven't had only one Truth for thousands of years.

But in the case of Mulamadhyamakakarika (MMK), the Indian Buddhist, Master Nagarjna, have been believing only one Truth, that is "Pratyaya, or the Real Truth."

In the First Chapter in MMK, we can find "Pratyaya", which means only one Truth in the Universe, therefore it might be problem whether such a kind of only one Truth in the Ancient India actually true in the Universal meaning, or not even today.
