This dharmadhatu pervades all beings no matter how many there are, which is to say that it is undifferentiatedly present within all beings, in those of low or high rank, in those who are good or evil alike. Here, the term "dharmadhatu" is equivalent to inseparable spaciousness and awareness or inseparable spaciousness and primordial wisdom (Tib. dbyings dang ye shes dbyer med pa). This inseparable union of spaciousness and primordial wisdom is the buddha nature, the tathagatagarbha.

In the view presented by the Madhyamakavatara (Tib. dbu ma la 'jug pa) the dharmadhatu is to be understood exclusively as freedom from conceptual elaboration. The aspect of primordial wisdom is not explained there. This difference should be understood well.

Once one realizes that beings do not truly exist and yet feels compassion for them, this is the most excellent type of compassion.
