    Challenges→The dependent nature and the imaginary nature together explain Yogācāra's conventional reality, while the perfect nature explains Yogācāra's conception of ultimate reality.

    Key Terms

    Constitutes(used to explain how practice creates the concept of responsibility)
    Forms or makes up the basis of something; creates the foundation for how something exists or works.
    conventional reality(Buddhist two-truths doctrine as invoked by Bhāvaviveka)
    The level of truth at which things are posited in terms of their intrinsic natures and unique particulars (svalakṣaṇa), as distinguished from ultimate reality where things have no intrinsic reality.
    dependent nature(Buddhist metaphysics)
    In Buddhist philosophy, the idea that things only exist in relation to other things—nothing stands alone or has a fixed, independent identity.
    purified form(Buddhist philosophy)
    A refined or clarified version of something, stripped of confusion or impurities—here, the clearest understanding of dependent nature.
