The Treatise on the Three Natures (Skt. trisvabhāvanirdeśa; Tib. རང་བཞིན་གསུམ་ངེས་པར་བསྟན་པ་, rangshyin sum ngepar tenpa, Wyl. rang bzhin gsum nges par bstan pa) is a short treatise (of 38 stanzas) by Vasubandhu describing the three natures.
Karl Brunnhölzl writes: "Vasubandhu’s Instruction on the Three Natures was probably his last work and there is no written commentary on it. Thus lacking a recognized line of transmission, unfortunately, this beautiful and profound work is almost never studied or taught in contemporary Buddhist centers of learning. It gives a terse, yet very illuminating, presentation of the three natures and their mutual relations, how delusion manifests and how it is dissolved."[1]
