DOCX (0605-英文定稿) vs PDF (0624-二排-一校-0623) — discrepancies
Source of truth: DOCX manuscript. PDF is the typeset output.
---
1. Extra words in PDF
DOCX: "The noble man is always at ease."
PDF: "The noble man is always broad-minded and at ease."
→ PDF adds "broad-minded and" not present in DOCX.
---
2. Nine stages of śamatha — completely different translations
Stage DOCX PDF
----- ---------------------------- --------------------------
1 placement of the mind placement of the mind
2 continuous attention continuous placement
3 repeated attention repeated placement
4 close attention close placement
5 tamed attention taming the mind
6 pacified attention pacifying the mind
7 fully pacified attention fully pacifying the mind
8 single-pointed mind single-pointing
9 balanced mind balanced placement
→ DOCX uses noun phrases with "attention" / "mind".
PDF uses gerunds with "placement" / "the mind" / "-ing".
---
3. selfreflection → self-assessment
DOCX: "standardized selfreflection guides"
"selfreflection checklist"
PDF: "standardized selfassessment guides"
"self-assessment checklist"
→ DOCX uses "selfreflection" (2 occurrences in conclusion).
PDF uses "self-assessment" (same as the term used earlier in the body).
---
4. "or restlessness" dropped in PDF
DOCX: "When wandering thoughts or restlessness arise, they find it
difficult not only to accept these thoughts, but also to
accept themselves."
PDF: "When wandering thoughts arise, they find it difficult..."
→ PDF omits "or restlessness".
---
5. ", during meditation," repositioned in PDF
DOCX: "Some people even get caught in inner knots that have been
unresolved for decades during meditation, with all kinds of
emotions entangling them without end, unable to let them go."
PDF: "Some people, during meditation, even get caught in inner
knots that have been unresolved for decades, with all kinds
of emotions entangling them without end, unable to let them go."
→ PDF moves "during meditation" earlier and wraps it in commas.
---
6. Other PDF typesetting errors (not DOCX-vs-PDF but visible in the PDF)
a) Double space after deleted text (p.85)
PDF: "When wandering thoughts arise, they find it difficult…"
Note: After "or restlessness" was dropped (see #4), the extra
space was not collapsed — "thoughts arise" shows a double
space visible in the typeset output.
b) Space before comma (p.87)
PDF: "…have been unresolved for decades , with all kinds of
emotions entangling them…"
Note: There is an extra space between "decades" and the comma
that should not be there.
