Are Primary Color Blue And Color Of A Blue Sky Same (Gcig), Synonymous (Don Gcig) Or Different (Tha Dad)?

Recommended Posts

Also, can you give example of three possibilities (mu sum) or four possibilities (mu shi)?

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, possibilitythere 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. possibility: there is a wooden table(smth which is a table and a wood), possibilitythere 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)

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.

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.
