三性 The three natures.
{I} The three natures of perception in Yoga^ca^ra: (1) The nature of existence produced From attachment to illusory discrimination. The mind of mistakenly assigning a real essence to those things that are produced From causes and conditions and have no true essence, and the appearance of that mistaken world (parikalpitah-svabha^va; bianji suoyixing 遍計所執性).
(2) The nature of existence arising From causes and conditions. All existence is produced according to cause (paratantra-svabha^va; 依他起性; yitaqixing) .
(3) The nature of existence being perfectly accomplished; the highest state of existence conforming to ultimate reality (parinispanna-svabha^va; yuanchengshi xing 圓成實性; ). 〔成唯識論T 1585.31.45c〕{II} The division of all elemental constructs into three moral qualities: (1) That which produces goodness 善. (2) That which produces evil 惡 and (3) That which is neutral 無記, producing neither good nor evil. The neutral category is further subdivided into two categories of impedimentary neutrality 有覆無記 and non-impedimentary neutrality 無覆無記. The afflictions 煩惱 are included in the evil category. 〔俱舍論、T 1558.29.7b〕
