Dharmadharmatdvibhahga?

Some authors' statements of a text's purpose

Mulamadhyamakakdrikd according to
Candrakirti in his Prasannapadd
Dharmakirti's statement of purpose in his
Nydyabindu according to Dharmottara and
Vinitadeva
Is it the pair dharma and dharmata (as Blo bzang rta
dbyangs asserts) or the pair samsara and nirvana (as
Rong ston and Mi pham assert) that verse 1 teaches
are respectively to be abandoned and manifest
2. Manufacturing an illusion rather than seeing reality
3. Reality is to be known through the progressive
elimination of error (which means the yogin is to
stop, as per Dharmadharmatavibhangakarika 19,
originating the view of duality since duality,
being unoriginated, is present in error; he should
instead attune to the thusness of the three buddhistic
bodies)
4. Dharmadharmatavibhangakarika 6-7:
Appearance of nonexistent duality is the cause of
delusion-affliction
5. Dharmadharmatavibhahga and Gilbert Ryle:
Their attack on "imputed objects of consciousness
and introspection"
6. Superseding appearances as subject and object
7. A brief note on the dGe lugs interpretation of
Maitreyan Yogacara: Is it designed to attack
Dol po pa?
