True Suchness (True Nature) is the Pure Mind that is free from arising and ceasing. “True” means that it is not illusory but real and that it does not change. All phenomena manifests from the “suchness” according to causes and conditions. This is referred to as the Conventional Truth.

Buddhism refers to True Emptiness which is the only truth. It pervades all space and spans all time. Emptiness gives rise to all phenomena. When we say, “Emptiness is not different from form,” it means that all forms arise from Emptiness. The Emptiness that Buddhism refers to is the Emptiness of True Nature. It does not mean nothingness.

Buddhas and all sentient beings are of the same true nature. Bhikshu Dharmakara was wise; he cultivated and became Amitabha Buddha. We, on the other hand, are victims of our secular cleverness and have converted ourselves into mundane people. What a waste! How pitiful!
