Truly existent nature (Skt. pariniṣpanna-svabhāva; Tib. ཡོངས་གྲུབ་མཚན་ཉིད་, yongdrub tsennyi, Wyl. yongs grub mtshan nyid) ― the third of the three natures presented in the Mind Only school. Truly existent (Skt. pariniṣpanna; Tib. ཡོངས་གྲུབ་, yongdrub, Wyl. yongs grub) when affixed to 'nature', connotes on the objective side the nature an object has when it is thoroughly understood. On the subjective side, it connotes the nature apparent to one who is fully accomplished intellectually and meditatively. It represents the highest and most complete understanding of a phenomenon.[1]
Vasubandhu describes the truly existent nature as "the continual absence of the imputed nature within the dependent nature".
