ANALYSIS OF
Aspect: The (ultimate) unreality of the Climax
of Wisdom as a separate entity, inasmuch as the knowledge
which perfectly analyses the elements of existence,
brings about the non-perception of all the separate
realities,—

mi-dmigs-par hes-par-rtog-pa zes-bya-ba yin-no. 1
Thus we have, with objects and aspects, the threefold
Degree of the Climax. It is called so, because the
roots of virtue that were unsteady attain here a state of
stabilizcition and the Climax of their growth. 2 —

inasmuch as, in the aspect of universal Non-substantiality,
all the characteristic features on one side and the points
characterized by them on the other, are unique and undiff
erentiated.—

with respect to an individual who clings to the
conception of a definite object. 2
