Thus we know that the three natures have no boundaries; any single one completely gathers the others, the true and the false mutually merge, and nature and marks are without obstruction. Giving rise to vikalpa from pratītyasamutpāda is parikalpita; awakening to reality from pratītyasamutpāda is pariniṣpanna. Therefore, due to vikalpa, one part constitutes saṃsāra; due to reality, one part constitutes nirvāṇa. By comprehending that the nature of vikalpa is empty, saṃsāra becomes nirvāṇa; by being deluded about the existence of the true nature, nirvāṇa becomes saṃsāra. All are but one single dharma, manifesting meaning and becoming three according to conditions; the three are not three, yet the single nature is complete; the one is not one, yet the three natures are possessed. Contracting and expanding without loss, hidden and manifest, it is ever thus. Neither one nor three, obliterating nature and marks on the ground of reality; yet three and one, illuminating sequential arrangement in the sky of meaning. In gathering the essentials to which all returns, nothing precedes this purport.
