phenomenon-constituent Comment: Among the eighteen constituents, the ""phenomenon-constituent"" contains all phenomena not included in the other constituents, and thus all permanent phenomena, including thusness, or emptiness, are contained therein. Since all eighteen constituents are said to be bases of emptiness, thusness itself, or emptiness, must also be a basis of emptiness. The same is so for the phenomenon-sense-sphere (chos kyi skye mched, dharmāyatana) among the twelve sense-spheres.
