nonempty tathāgatagarbha

• The mind that is replete with all kinds of virtue, having the potential for Buddhahood. Same as "mind of true thusness 眞如心." This [mind], from the origin, is endowed with as much merit as the amount of the grains of sand of the Ganges River. Therefore it is called the nonempty tathāgatagarbha. 眞如心 此心從本以來 具足恆河沙性功德 故名不空如來藏. 〔梵網經菩薩戒本私記 HBJ.1.590a〕 〔翻譯名義集 T 2131.54.128a26〕 [resp. Charles Muller]
