Abhūta-Parikalpa of Yogācāra

“abhūta-parikalpa (Skt., the process of imagining or projecting what is unreal). A key Yogācāra concept describing the function of the ‘other-dependent’ or ‘relative’ (paratantra) nature (svabhāva) by which the false dichotomy of a perceiving subject (grāhaka) and perceived object (grāhya) is superimposed upon experience and results in the ‘imagined’ (parikalpita) nature (*svabhāva). See also PARATANTRA, GRĀHYA-GRĀHAKA, PARIKALPITA.” (PDoB)
