+Not only are there two different categories of phenomena, the person and the
+external phenomena, there are also two different types of misconceptions with
+respect to the nature of phenomena: misconceptions with respect to the nature
+of the person and with respect to the external phenomena.  This means to
+overcome these two types of misconception is to realize selflessness, which is
+the ultimate nature of these two types of phenomena.  Therefore there are two
+selflessnesses, selflessness of person and selflessness of phenomena.
+Generally speaking, comparing the two, the realization of the selflessness of
+the person is said to be easier than realization of the selflessness of
+phenomena because of long familiarity with the actual self, the person.
