tathatā ［真如・如如］ (, Pali;  shinnyo or nyonyo): Thusness, suchness, essential nature, true nature, or truth. Tathatā is a fundamental concept in Mahayana philosophy and is interpreted as the true nature of all phenomena or as the original state of things. A Buddha is regarded as one who observes things exactly as they are and who perceives the true nature of all things.
