Nāgārjuna, who established the philosophy of emptiness, denied the existence of essentia; however, he did not explain existentia clearly. In other words, though he denied the unique nature of each individual independent of anything else, he did not give an adequate explanation of the presence of the individual. This study considers why the existence of the individual as emptiness is actually occurring in reality, as explained in “the Tattvārthapatala” of the Bodhisattvabhūmi by Asanga, in order to suggest the correct comprehension of the property of emptiness.
In doing so, the relationship between recognition and vastu will be considered by focusing on the term vastu, which combines the aspect of the ultimate nature of all things (which is the ultimate truth of the philosophy of emptiness) and the aspect of the underlying basis of linguistic expression of the individual.
Through considering the relationship between vastu and recognition, the basis of the emergence of the individual will be discussed. The conclusion is that the relationship between the individual and vastu is non-committal, and that the individual is separated from absolute reality by a name—recognized as a specific entity that is separated from other things. It will be found that this phenomenon is a temporary situation. In other words, in terms of “the Tattvārthapatala” of the Bodhisattvabhūmi, the eternal, immortal vastumātra is alive in the phenomenon of individuality.
