Note

In chapter five verse twelve, Klong chen pa discusses how the dualistic constructs of "object and subject" first originate, and in turn give rise to the five objective domains and five emotions. In commenting on the verse (especially "From grasping as 'object' what is non-objective come the five objects/ From grasping as 'self' what is devoid of selfhood come the five emotions)," he describes how the creative energy of Being's resonance with the whole in its subtle and unceasing effulgence ('char) is mistakenly apprehended as something objective (see under ye shes vs. rtog pa), whence arises the duality.

by David Higgins

Note

In chapter eleven, verses eight and nine, Klong chen pa describes how the three emotions emerge as the free play of Being's creative energy, surging forth from but never moving away from the field of Being. One must therefore simply let the emotions be, meddling with them by means of various familiar strategies of elimination, ablution, transformation, leaving them to calm themselves or counteracting them only stirs them up more.
