Three Natures

The aspects of phenomena as set forth by the Cittamatra and Yogachara schools: the 'imagined,' the 'dependent,' and the 'absolute.'

• The imagined (kun brtags) is the two kinds of self-entity.
• The dependent (gzhan dbang) is the eight collections of consciousness.
• The absolute (yongs grub) is the empty nature of things, Suchness. [RY]
