一眞法界

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: one true realm of reality

Senses:

  • The Dharma realm of the one reality, i.e. of thusness, complete in a speck of dust as in a universe; such is the dharmakāya, or spiritual body of all buddhas, eternal, above terms of being, indefinable, neither immanent nor transcendent, yet the one reality, though beyond thought. It is the fundamental doctrine of the 華嚴宗. The 法界 is 諸佛平等法身, 從本以來不生不滅, 非空非有, 離名離相, 無內無外, 惟一眞實, 不可思議, 是名一眞法界; see 三藏法數 4. 〔成唯識論 T 1585.31.48a21〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, Soothill]
