【英汉对照佛学词典】

三无性


The 'three non-natures.' In contrast to the 'three natures' of 'attachment to pervasive imagination', 'dependent arising', and 'perfectly accomplished reality', these three non-natures are established from the point of view of the lack of self nature of elements. Thus, this is an explanation from the standpoint of emptiness. (1) 相无性xiangwuxing . Form, appearance, or seeing is unreal, e.g., a rope appearing like a snake. (2) 生无性shengwuxing . Arising, existence, has no self nature. Arising appears dependent upon causes and conditions, and its existence is provisional. (3) 胜义无性shengyiwuxing . The non-nature of ultimate reality.
