Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Pratyayasāmagrī (प्रत्ययसामग्री) refers to “assemblages of conditions”, according to  the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 46.—Accordingly, “[...] Having entered into [the patience towards beings], [the Yogin] has the following thought:—According to the Dharma preached by the Buddhas of the ten directions, there is no self and no ‘mine’, it is only an assemblage of Dharmas designated under the name of ‘a being’. [...] For the person who has reflected in this way, there is no being and, since the being does not exist, dharmas do not depend on anything. Simple assemblages of causes and conditions [i.e., pratyayasāmagrī], they are without self nature. The being is an assemblage to which the name of being is wrongly given and it is the same for the dharmas. Knowing this is to enter into possession of patience in regard to things”.
