phenomenon source; phenomenon-source; phenomenon-sense-sphere Comment: Among the eighteen constituents, the phenomenon-constituent (chos kyi khams, dharmadhātu) 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"" among the twelve sense-spheres.
