MMK (12) Examination of Pain

1. Action, which I did, action, which others did, and action, which I and others both did,
Are never reasonable at all.

Only one aim called pain has become only one aim to pursue actually,
However, Pain, the only one aim, does not have any relation with what has been actually done.


2. Even when something, which I have done, exists clearly, it is not clear where some kinds of development of my work has existed, or not.

That situations produce aggregates and this world,
Because aggregates exist totally together clearly.


3. Because of the existence of miscellaneous things and phenomena,
When this world seems to be different from this world,
It might be also that miscellaneous things and phenomena manifest themselves as Reality, which can not be described with words.

It might be true that action, which is done by outsiders, sometimes produces some kind of Pain,
But in such a situation it might be the fact that relying upon many kinds of outsiders and the personality of the main person himself too, and at the same time because of Reality itself, which can not be described with words,
The real situations might have been produced by themselves actually.


4. In the case when the personality of myself has produced Pain,
Actually speaking, it is completely the same as if there were no Pain.

The personality of myself is also only one among many people,
And what has produced Pain, is also an action of myself.


5. In a case that Pain has been produced by other's personality,
Because of such a background, there might be possibility that the gloomy conditions in front of me,
Might become brighter than before.

In the case that the facts, which have been produced by others, are just the cause of painful conditions,
It is very difficult for us to think that what has really happened was as if it were nothing.


6. In the case that what other's personality has produced is Pain,
What is just which can be called other's personality?

If it is in the case that any kind of Pain can not be felt,
It might be that because the cause of the Pain has been acted already,
Therefore there is only one possibility for us to be hasty by cooperating with others for accomplishing the concrete work as soon as posible.


7. When the small job, which is related with the original work, hasen't been accomplished yet,
There might be no possibility for us to worry about any kind of Pain, or the facts, that the job has been done by others yet.

Even in a case that someone of others intentionally has done such a kind of disturbance,
The concrete facts, might be much related with the action, which has been done by the main person, who has been leading the total work, at all.


8. Action, which has been done by the person himself, is not so painful,
Because the Pain, which has occured actually, might be just an action, which is done in the real dimension following Reality.

Because in this case another person might be different from the person himself,
Therefore how is it possible for Pain to come from another's behavior?


9. In the case that a work has been done by the two members for example,
There might be possibility that the Pain has been produced by only one person between the two.

When the Pain has not been produced by the other, but it has been produced by himself,
How is it possible for Pain to be unreasonable actually like that?


10. It is never painful for us to select only one object exclusively,
Therefore it might be rather difficult for us to esteem the value of accumulating the four philosophies together.

And it is just very common examples that there are so many people existing in the worid, who are outsiders of miscellaneous philosophical teachings,
Therefore it is also actually true that the Buddhist philosophy, which has been constructed by the four layers of philosophies, is actually true.
