In Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

: Google Books: The Crystal Mirror of Philosophical Systems

ʰṅg첹 (प्रासङ्गिक) refers to a sub-division of Madhyamaka—one of the �Four Philosophical Systems� (i.e., “preliminary practices for tantra�) which are known in Tibetan as: grub mtha' bzhi.—Accordingly, [while describing the history of the Buddhists and the proponents of the four philosophical systems]: The ʰṅg첹s say that the basic object of the innate egoistic view is the self that is imputed on the basis of the aggregates; and not only are the aggregates not the self, they claim, not even a single dharma is findable after searching for the imputed object. Schools from the Svātantrikas on down claim that if such a standpoint were true, admission of dependent arising would be undermined. [...]

[Regarding the view of the object of negation and the way of negation, which are special features of the ʰṅg첹s]: Apprehending an existent that is not merely established through a conventional designation is the subtle apprehension of true existence. Apprehending as existent the referent object of that � the person not propounded by way of designation and convention � is apprehension of a self of persons. Apprehending dharmas as existent is the apprehension of a self of dharmas. It is claimed that both innate apprehensions � of a self of persons and dharmas � are the ignorance that is the root of samsara and are the delusion obstacles. It is said that recognizing these kinds of innate apprehensions depends on ascertaining well how persons and dharmas are posited conventionally, how they are imputed by thought. This is a very important point.
