Dharmadhātu

The realm of reality: the totality of all phenomena in their true nature.

Also: Dharmadhatu

Mahāyāna, Zen and Tibetan Buddhism

Dharmadhātu is the sphere or ground of all dharmas, the whole of reality as it truly is. In Huayan it is the cosmos of interpenetrating phenomena; in the Yogācāra and tathāgatagarbha traditions it is suchness, the purity underlying all things. The word also names the space of awakening in Tibetan thought.
