If one approaches and grasps them, one falls into ordinary, worldly views; if one leaves and abandons them, one loses the gateway of noble wisdom. > > Therefore Master Zang \[Fazang\], relying on the Huayan school, explained the meaning of identity and difference of the three natures: > First, the consummate tathatā has two meanings: (1) unchanging, and (2) according with conditions. > Second, the other-dependent has two meanings: (1) seeming existence, and (2) lack of nature. > Third, the imagined grasping has two meanings: (1) existence in deluded sentiment, and (2) non-existence in principle. > > By virtue of tathatā being unchanging, the other-dependent having no nature, and the grasped being non-existent in principle, through these three meanings, the three natures are of one single limit. Furthermore, in terms of tathatā according with conditions, the other-dependent having seeming existence, and the grasped existing in deluded sentiment, through these three meanings, they are also not different. > > Therefore, the real covers the false, seeking the branch penetrates the source of reality, and nature and characteristics blend and penetrate, without hindrance or obstruction. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 60.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.60.2) - [Next: 60.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.60.4) - [Up: 60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.60) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.60.3) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.60.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.60.3) · Pramāṇa
