All Dharmas Are the Tathāgatagarbha Nature

All dharmas are the emptiness (śūnyatā) of the tathāgatagarbha; in essence they are the nature of the tathāgatagarbha, and there are no dharmas at all. Yet the illusory phenomena of all dharmas still exist and can be perceived, and they also have illusory functions. For example, the five-aggregate material body is illusory, empty, and false, but the illusory functions of the material body still exist, so we are able to see one another. Time and space are the same: they are illusory, empty, and false, but they have their illusory functions and can be perceived. Because of time, material form has different sequences of before and after, and material form can also exist and be stored in space.
