This means that although the noble ones perceive the five skandhas, they thoroughly realize that they are unreal and merely nominal designations, free from difference or non-difference, like an illusion or a dream. Thus the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra* states: "When a bodhisattva mahāsattva practices the perfection of wisdom, he knows as it truly is that form is like a mass of foam, its nature not solid; he knows as it truly is that feeling is like a floating bubble, deceptive, unstable, quickly arising and quickly perishing; he knows as it truly is that perception is like a mirage, where water cannot be found, yet due to false thirst and desire this perception arises; he knows as it truly is that formations are like a plantain tree, where, if stripped leaf by leaf, nothing substantial can be found; he knows as it truly is that consciousness is like an illusory creation, nominally designated through the confluence of conditions, appearing to exist in form but lacking reality; therefore the five skandhas have no separate existence." Not understanding the realm realized by the Tathāgata, perceiving skandha dharmas to exist, and clinging to discriminations that constantly appear before oneself—this is called parikalpa regarding the svabhāva characteristics of the skandhas.
