[Treatise:] Only the one true mind ... because it is the mark of empty space.
[Exposition:] This reveals that the dharmakāya is non-existent, pervasive, and permanent. "Only the one true mind is nowhere not pervasive," and so forth, differentiates the doctrine as identical to the simile. Because the Buddha's dharmakāya is only the one true mind and is nowhere not pervasive, "nowhere not pervasive" reveals the meaning of the Tathāgata's nature of wisdom being vast and ultimate. Because of the meaning of empty space, it is compared to the mark of empty space: this distinguishes the doctrine as different from the simile; it does not mean that it is like that delusive mark of empty space which exists according to sentiment but is absent according to principle.
