And this is moreover true because he says,<br />

Classical commentaries other than the classical commentary on the middle way fail to explain this thing called<br />

“emptiness” in an unerring way.<br />

ZHES GSUNGS PA'I PHYIR,<br />

Here in our text we are using a system of explanation which incorporates responses to earlier objections; and the<br />

way here that we explain emptiness is—in that same way—something that is lacking in the other classical<br />

commentaries. This is something we hope the wise will perceive.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is also a way in which Entering the Middle Way “enters” into the true<br />

intent of <strong>The</strong> Root Text on Wisdom by helping people come to a firm<br />

realization that it would be incorrect to interpret the latter work as one that<br />

belongs to the Mind-Only School.<br />

And this is true because Entering the Middle Way “enters into” explaining the<br />

meaning of <strong>The</strong> Root Text on Wisdom first by refuting, quite successfully, the<br />

general idea of something growing from something else: the idea that a<br />

result that existed by definition could grow from something other than it—<br />

that is, from a cause that also existed by definition. And it undertakes this<br />

refutation, more specifically, by expressing the position of the Mind-Only<br />

School and then refuting it.<br />
