七真如 [qi zhen ru]—Seven Kinds of Tathata—[Terminology]
1. Transmigratory Tathata (流轉真如 [liu zhuan zhen ru]): Refers to the true nature (實性 [shi xing]) of conditioned phenomena (有為法 [you wei fa]) in transmigration (流轉 [liu zhuan]).
2. Reality-aspect Tathata (實相真如 [shi xiang zhen ru]): Refers to the true nature (實性 [shi xing]) manifested through the two kinds of egolessness (二無我 [er wu wo]).
3. Vijnaptimatrata Tathata (唯識真如 [wei shi zhen ru]): Refers to the Vijnaptimatrata true nature (唯識實性 [wei shi shi xing]) of defiled and pure phenomena (染淨法 [ran jing fa]).
4. Established Tathata (安立真如 [an li zhen ru]): Refers to the true nature (實性 [shi xing]) of the truth of suffering (苦諦 [ku di]).
5. Wrong-conduct Tathata (邪行真如 [xie xing zhen ru]): Refers to the true nature (實性 [shi xing]) of the truth of the origin of suffering (集諦 [ji di]).
6. Pure Tathata (清淨真如 [qing jing zhen ru]): Refers to the true nature (實性 [shi xing]) of the truth of cessation (滅諦 [mie di]).
7. Right-conduct Tathata (正行真如 [zheng xing zhen ru]): Refers to the true nature (實性 [shi xing]) of the truth of the path (道諦 [dao di]).
The three Tathatas of Transmigratory (流轉 [liu zhuan]), Established (安立 [an li]), and Wrong-conduct (邪行 [xie xing]) are not applicable to Buddhas (佛 [fu]). Furthermore, the three Tathatas of Reality-aspect (實相 [shi xiang]), Vijnaptimatrata (唯識 [wei shi]), and Pure (清淨 [qing jing]) are the objects (境 [jing]) of fundamental wisdom (根本智 [gen ben zhi]), while the remaining four are the objects (境 [jing]) of acquired wisdom (後得智 [hou de zhi]). These seven are spoken of from the perspective of exposition (詮門 [quan men]) and by explaining their meanings (義說 [yi shuo]). However, if one discards the exposition (廢詮 [fei quan]) and discusses the essence of Tathata (如之體 [ru zhi ti]), then the seven are but one Tathata (七即一如 [qi ji yi ru]). See Samdhinirmocana Sutra (解深密經 [jie shen mi jing]), Chapter on the Discernment of Yoga (分別瑜伽品 [fen bie yu jia pin]), and Vijnaptimatratasiddhi (唯識論 [wei shi lun]), Chapter 8. [Terminology] See the entry for Tathata (真如 [zhen ru]). (Tathata/Suchness)
七真如—【名數】一流轉真如，謂有為法流轉之實性也。二實相真如，謂顯於二無我之實性也。三唯識真如，謂染淨法之唯識實性也。四安立真如，謂苦諦之實性也。五邪行真如，謂集諦之實性也。六清淨真如，謂滅諦實性也。七正行真如，謂道諦之實性也。流轉安立邪行之三真如不通於佛，又實相唯識清淨之三真如為根本智之境，餘四者為後得智之境。是約於詮門以義說而說為七，若廢詮而論如之體則七即一如也。見解深密經分別瑜伽品，唯識論八。
