the phrase one-dharma　一法句 The ultimate, absolute truth attained by practicing samatha (concentration of mind) and vipasyana (insight). In Vasubandhu’s Treatise the ultimate truth is described as having two aspects: 1) truth grasped by conceptual understanding, and 2) truth which is beyond conceptual understanding. Here, “phrase” is an attempt to give a conventional expression or understanding to the formless ultimate reality. Such a view originates in the idea of the twofold truth (nitai ), which was advocated in the Mādhyamika philosophy and came to be accepted widely in other Mahayana schools. It is also expressed as the mundane truth and supramundane truth. According to this view of the twofold truth, the twenty-nine adornments of the Pure Land, Amida Buddha, and the bodhisattvas described in this Treatise refer to the former, while the phrase one-dharma, as that which is beyond conceptual understanding, refers to the latter.
