"claim_text": "Self-awareness (svasaṃvedana) is the nature (svabhāva) of consciousness, not a result (phala) of cognition. Consciousness is self-luminous (svaprakāśa) and is its own object of awareness; it is not an object of a means of knowledge other than its own self-awareness. The Buddhist phala-model makes self-awareness dependent on cognition, contradicting its self-luminous nature.",
