Sasha 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 They are mutually inclusive - or synonymous (don gcig). Example of three possibilities (mu sum) - apple and fruit. 1 possibility: there is a fruit which is an apple, 2 possibility: there is a fruit which is not an apple; 3 possibility: there is smth which is not a fruit and not an apple. Example of four possibilities (mu shi) - table and wood. 1 possibility: there is a wooden table(smth which is a table and a wood), 2 possibility: there is a plastic table(smth which is a table but not a wood); 3 possibility: wooden chair(smth whis is not a table, but is a wood); 4 possibility: plastic chair(smth which is not a table and not a wood) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasha 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 And also in order to remind what is mutually inclusive - or synonymous (don gcig): When there are 8 doors of pervasion. For example: [smth which is] made and [smth which is] impermanent: 1. if there is [smth which is] made - there is [smth which is] impermanent. 2. if there is [smth which is] impermanent - there is [smth which is] made. 3. if there is no [smth which is] made - there is no [smth which is] impermanent. 4. if there is no [smth which is] impermanent - there is no [smth which is] made. 5. if smth has [smth which is] made - it has [smth which is] impermanent. 6. if smth has [smth which is] impermanent - it has [smth which is] made. 7. if smth has no [smth which is] made - it has no [smth which is] impermanent. 8. if smth has no [smth which is] impermanent - it has no [smth which is] made.

Goodie 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2016 They are not mutually inclusive, because there is something which is color blue, but is not color of a blue sky. For example, a color of a blue sapphire. Thus they are different (tha dad), and have a mu sum relationship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
