【The Twelve Factors of Dependent-Arising】- The interpretation of ignorance by the scholar Asanga and his brother Vasubandhu
【Along with this interpretation, which sees ignorance as a misapprehension of the meaning of reality, there is a second view, held by the scholar Asanga and his brother Vasubandhu, who assert that ignorance is merely confusion about the meaning of reality.】
What is a different interpretation? It is one held by the Asanga Bodhisattva. "The scholar Asanga and his brother Vasubandhu," this is said by the Asanga Bodhisattva and master Vasubandhu. Their viewpoint differs. What is it? "... sees ignorance as a misapprehension of the meaning of reality... ignorance is merely confusion about the meaning of reality." This said that for the meaning of reality, the former one asserts that you have misapprehended, that you have a perverse view of it. The other interpretation said that for the meaning of reality, you don't understand it. So according to the Asanga Bodhisattva's interpretation, what is this ignorance? It is that for the meaning of reality, you don't understand. You don't understand it. It is because you don't understand it, you develop confusion. Once you have produced confusion, you then have misapprehensio. Therefore there are two viewpoints! So for master Dharmakirti, he used "misapprehension" to explain ignorance. And then, the Asanga Bodhisattva used a "lack of understanding" to explain ignorance.

希求解脱 : 无著兄弟对无明的判别
【无著论师兄弟，则许倒执实义蒙昧实义二中后者，】
另外一派呢？就是无著菩萨，“无著论师兄弟”，就是无著菩萨跟世亲论师所说的。他们观点不一样，什么？“倒执实义，蒙昧实义”，说真实义当中，前面有一个倒执，你把它执着、颠倒了；还有一派呢，说对这个实际上的意义啊，你不了解。那么无著菩萨所认以为的，这个无明是什么？对真实的意义你不了解，不了解它。因为不了解，产生了误解；产生了误解，所以你有执着。所以这是两者喔！那么法称论师呢，就对于这个「执著」那一点上来解释无明；然后，无着菩萨呢，就对于你「不了解」那一点上面解释这个无明。
