Truly Existent; 諦實; Tibetan: བདེན་པར་གྲུབ་པ (den-par drub-pa); Wylie: bden par grub pa;

Truly Existent refers to the mistaken way in which ordinary beings perceive phenomena — as existing independently, objectively, and from their own side, without depending on causes, conditions, or conceptual imputation. In the Prāsaṅgika Madhyamaka view, nothing whatsoever exists in this manner. All phenomena are merely designated by name and concept, and they arise only in dependence on other factors. To believe in true existence is the root of ignorance and the fundamental cause of cyclic existence. Realizing that all things lack true existence is the very meaning of emptiness and the direct antidote to suffering.

諦實指凡夫對諸法所生起的錯誤認知——認為事物以獨立、客觀且自成的方式存在，不依賴於因緣條件或概念安立。在中觀應成派的觀點中，沒有任何一法是以此種方式存在的。一切諸法僅是依賴於名言與概念而假名安立，且唯依他緣而起。執著於諦實存在，正是無明的根本，也是眾生流轉輪迴的主要原因。通達一切法皆無諦實，即是空性的真實義，也是直接斷除痛苦的根本對治。
