3.27

The commentary says: This explains the permanence of the Dharma-body. First it explains permanence, and afterwards resolves objections. In the first [part], first it marks [the point] of having no differentiating characteristics, and next it directly explains permanence. This is the first. Taking only tathatā as the Dharma-body, it says that it is not a conditioned phenomenon and has no differentiating characteristics of arising and ceasing. Again, explaining tathatā, below it says: "The Dharma-body is that which is manifested by the two non-existences." "The two non-existences" refers to the four kinds of dual characteristics, such as neither existing nor non-existing. Furthermore, "not a conditioned phenomenon" means that it cannot be realized by conditioned, contaminated phenomena associated with afflictions, because non-conceptual wisdom is also the Dharma-body.
