【The Twelve Factors of Dependent-Arising】- The meaning of pudgala
Normally we would translate pudgala to "those who go on to repeated reincarnations." That is because one will repeatedly and incessantly return. The repeated reincarnations do not mean once or twice. But that it means one will forever whirl in the six realms. After one gives up this body, he will take another. After he gives that one up, he will take yet another one. We normally would call this "sentient beings." This would mean people. That is me, you, him, we all count in here. It is just that we are classified into me and you, classified as me, you, and him. That's all there is. But this thing has no "self" that we have always misconstrued it to have. This is the remedy. To truly train in Buddhism, the core essence of it is to understand this, to understand this.

希求解脱 : 补特伽罗的意思
补特伽罗平常我们翻成“数取趣”，因为数数地、不断地，这个数不是一趟两趟，永远地在那个六趣当中轮转，舍了这个又取那个，舍了这个又取那个。我们通常叫作“有情”，也就是人，就是我、你、他，都是在这上头。分成功我跟你，分成功我、你、他，只是如此，这东西并没有我们一向误解的个“我”在。这个就是对治的，我们真正的修学佛法的中心就要明了这个，就要明了这个。
