Quotes:
“What is the condition-arisen dharma? It refers to the notions of ignorance and formation. Regardless of whether a Buddha appears in the world or not, this dharma remains permanently in force and abides in the dharma realm.” Saṃyukta Āgama, Vol. 12
《雜阿含經》卷12：「云何緣生法？謂無明、行。若佛出世、若未出世，此法常住，法住法界；」
Remarks:
The Buddha taught that whether there is a Tathagata born in the
human realm to preach and disclose this dharma of the Truth or there is none,
this dharma inherently and permanently exists. That is, this dharma abides in
and remains in force among all dharmas, which means that it works in unison
with all other dharmas. Due to the permanently existing dharma, the
tathagatagarbha, that which brings forth all the dharmas in the phenomenal
world, the
conditioned-arisen dharma also permanently exists in the secular world. Thus, the existent
dependent-arisen dharma that arises and ceases is based on the permanent
existence of the tathagatagarbha. For the enlightened Mahayana practitioners,
the truly existent tathagatagarbha can be realized and observed by their
wisdom-eye.
In essence, the illustrations of the middle-way nature and the nirvanic nature of this True Mind rely on all phenomena within the three realms throughout the Buddha’s teachings. These teachings enable all Buddhist disciples to know that all mundane and transmundane dharmas are brought forth and manifested by the True Mind. Its entity self is pure and is detached from and transcends all wholesome and unwholesome dharmas.
