How to Eradicate the View of Self in the Mind Consciousness?

Observing the non-self of the five aggregates and the eighteen realms mainly involves observing the non-self of the mind consciousness. The states of the mind consciousness are quite numerous—some coarse, some subtle, some tranquil (praśama), some not tranquil, some empty, some not empty. To observe the mind consciousness, one must experience the arising and ceasing, impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self of the various states of the mind consciousness. The mind consciousness has various state-marks, such as various marks of afflictions, various marks of purity, various marks of emptiness, various marks of knowing, various marks of discernment, marks with language and words, marks without language and words, marks with sounds, no sound, the mark of silence, the mark of clamor, and so on. All these marks and states are conditioned phenomena of arising and ceasing, impermanence, and change; none of them is the self; all are empty.

This includes when the mind settles down and not a single thought arises—that is the mark of tranquility of the mind consciousness. Seeing through its false and illusory nature, and not taking it as real, as self, as the Dharmakāya, or as the Tathāgata, one eradicates the view of self of the mind consciousness at that moment. But there are still views of self of the mind consciousness at other times: in the gap between the previous thought not arising and the next thought not yet coming, it seems tranquil, but in substance it is still a state of the mind consciousness. Only by seeing through it can one eradicate the view of self of the mind consciousness.
