Dharmatā [suchness] is said to be that which constantly exists in the world (nityasthita), whether or not the TATHĀGATAS appear to rediscover it.
“Dharmatā” from The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, 2014.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
Phillip K. Dick, from How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later. 1978. via WikiQuote
