3.44

Second, from 'Benevolent King' downward, clarifying the characteristics of the permanence of the five skandhas. 'Nature' means unalterable: that is, the five skandhas of the hundred realms do not shift across the eight phases and are all-pervading in the ten directions. Yet it is not that beneath phenomenal matters there is a separate nature-skandha; simply, the wholesome, unwholesome, defiled, and polluted skandhas, in their very substance, are permanently abiding, named the Dharma-nature skandhas. Be careful not to seek them elsewhere.
