Dispeling misunderstandings ~ Chandrakirti
.
If, in trying to understand the truth, one dispels misunderstandings, and therefore some philosophies cannot remain intact, that should not be considered as criticizing others’ views.

Mind is inconceivable ~ Longchenpa
.
The mind does seem to be [T1 - appearing, functional] and yet lacks real existence [T2 - empty of inherent existence] [U2T].
When searched for, it’s not found;
When looked for, it’s not seen.
No color does it have, no shape; it cannot be identified.
Not outside or within; throughout the triple time,
It is not born, it does not cease.
And it is not located anywhere on this side or on that.
Groundless, rootless, it is not a thing (and not nothing).
There is no pointing to it: mind is inconceivable.
