““Therefore, when the three natures are presented without analysis, seeming dependent origination is the other-dependent nature, because it is common, conventional consensus that it originates in dependence on causes and conditions. As for both material things and cognitions that are assumed to constitute real entities, a true way of being, or a nature, they all represent the imaginary nature, because they are superimposed in such ways onto seeming, dependently originating phenomena. Emptiness-ultimate reality-is the perfect nature. This just follows the common consensus of presentations in mutual dependence: If what is fabricated and conditioned is presented as the seeming, then what is unfabricated and unconditioned has to be presented as the ultimate. This is the explanation of the intention of the sutras in a way that is merely not contradicting the conformity of the worldly consensus of others.””
