Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: both presence and absence in similar instances, both presence and absence in dissimilar instances

Senses:

  • In Buddhist logic 因明, one of the nine possible conditions of a reason in a syllogism based on its properties 九句因. For instance, a Śābdika said to a Vaiśeṣika: "Sound is permanent, Because it is incorporeal, Like an particle or space, unlike a pot or pleasure." The property of being incorporeal is present in some similar instances such as space, and is absent in some similar instances such as an atom; it is present in some dissimilar instances such as pleasure, and is absent in some dissimilar instances such as a pot. Inconclusive 不定, too broad as 倶品一分轉. (From Kuijiʼs explanatory notes to the Hetucakra). 〔因明大疏 T 1840.44.105a14〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): BFL]
