View source for Imputed nature

'''Imputed nature''' (Skt. ''parikalpita-svabhāva'') ― the first of the [[three natures]] presented in the [[Mind Only]] school. Imputed or imaginary (Skt. ''parikalpita''; Tib. [[ཀུན་བརྟགས་]], ''küntak'', [[Wyl.]] ''kun btags''), in this sense, does not mean to be hallucinatory as opposed to being real, it is to be constructed as an object by the operation of the mind.<ref>From an article by Jay L. Garfield on [[Vasubandhu]]’s ''[[Treatise on the Three Natures]]'' in ''Buddhist Philosophy: Essential Readings'', Oxford University Press 2009, ISBN: 978-0-19-532817-2</ref>
