About: Abhutaparikalpa

Abhutaparikalpa is a concept which was developed by the Yogacara/Vijnanavada school of Buddhism with regard to definitions of reality identifying it as the dependent nature among the three natures postulated, and is described as neither empty nor not empty by adopting a neither nor position, that it is both existent and not existent. As paratantrasvabhava it exists as such but does not exist as it appears when affected by the 'subject-object duality' of parikalpitasvabhava freed from which it is the perfect nature of parinishpannasvabhava.
