three asaṁskṛta dharmas (三無為).
They are
(1) the asaṁskṛta of open sky ākāśāsaṁskṛta, which does not pose any hindrance;
(2) the asaṁskṛta of voluntary cessation pratisaṁkhyā-nirodhāsaṁskṛta, i.e., cessation of suffering because of attainment of nirvāṇa through one’s voluntary training;
(3) the asaṁskṛta of involuntary cessation apratisaṁkhyā-nirodhāsaṁskṛta, i.e., the nonoccurrence of anything because some required conditions are missing.
However, according to the Consciousness-Only School, the asaṁskṛta of involuntary cessation is true suchness.
