• pháp giới :
  法界 - [py] făjiè [wg] fa-chieh [ko] 법계 pŏpkye [ja] ホッカイ hokkai ||| (Dharmadhātu); 'dharma-realm, reality-realm,' 'object-realm,' 'realm of thought.' Originally dharma (法) is derived from the Sanskrit root dhr, with the meaning of that which preserves or maintains, especially that which maintains human activity. Dhātu (界 is derived from the masculine nominal root dha, which originally had the meaning of 'element', but after becoming a Buddhist term, it began to take on the meaning of 'nature' (性). In this term, 法 refers to the various elemental constructs (諸法), and 界 refers to "marking the limits" of something. (1) One of the 'eighteen realms' (十八界), the objects of the mano-consciousness. Where things are thought of, therefore the meaning is equivalent to that of 'locus of mental objects' (法處). (2) Limit, border. (3) Especially in Mahāyāna teaching, dharma-dhātu refers to a religious basis or principlethe origin of all things. In this kind of teaching, where the whole universe is taken as phenomena, it is understood as the manifestation of true thusness. Accordingly, this reality-realm, being true existence as-it-is, is equated to the reality-body (dharma-body) 法身 of the Buddha. (4) Taken as one of the eighteen elements in Yogācāra theory, it includes 82 elemental constructs from the categories of imperceivable material elemental constructs, mental function elemental constructs, elemental constructs not concomitant with mind and unconditioned elemental constructs. (5) Huayan Buddhism teaches the existence of four realms of reality 四法界: the realm of phenomena 事, realm of principle 理, realm of non-obstruction between principle and phenomena 理事無礙, and realm of non-obstruction between phenomena 事事無礙.　(6) In the Awakening of Faith 起信論, the dharmadhātu is identified with the one mind 一心.
