"self"), but it is still not real insight as with the first type.
However, it is possible to transform it into true insight.
We must be able to distinguish these three well, always
knowing which is real and which false. The first should
be desired, the second renounced, and the third
transmuted.
2. There are three kinds of spiritual qualities described
in Yogacara:
a. Quality of direct reasoning in theory and quality of
direct insight in practice, (pratyaksa). The latter is direct
knowledge in concentration. This is real.
b. Comparative quality (by examples) in theory, and the
second-moon-like insight in trance. It is not quite real,
but can be transmuted into reality.
c. False quality. It is entirely unreal in practice.
However, in theory, this third one is called the "quality
of the Buddhas' instructions."
These three kinds of qualities always correspond with
the three insights mentioned above, but the former three
are practical whereas the latter are both practical and
logical (or theoretical). The meditator cannot be covered
by the false insight or by the false quality in his
concentration, provided that he is able to recognize
them very well.
