English	To summarize the meaning of the chapter of Maitreya’s Inquiry in the Mother, the teaching of the subtle emptiness should be applied to each part by understanding the basis of designation for a phenomenon such as a form,[p.86]The Profound Reality of Interdependence Duckworth, Douglas S., trans. The Profound Reality of Interdependence: An Overview of the Wisdom Chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva. By Künzang Sönam. New York: Oxford University Press, 2019. which is the aspect of the dependent nature; the designated phenomenon, which is the aspect of the imagined nature; and its emptiness of that, the aspect of the consummate nature. To illustrate this with a form, the form is the designated form (rnam btags kyi gzugs); the intrinsically existent form is the imagined form (kun btags kyi gzugs); and the emptiness that is the form’s emptiness of intrinsic existence is the basic nature form (chos nyid kyi gzugs). The first one is a genuine form; the latter two are nominal forms. It is said to apply to other phenomena in the same way.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment.
