TA: Independent Manifestation in the Phenomenal World

The character for “TA” is formed by a large circle (WA) and a horizontal line representing the phenomenal realm.

As previously explained, “WA” signifies all phenomena brought into a unified whole. The horizontal line, representing the unfolding towards HI FU MI YO I from “HI” on the right end to “I” on the left end, means that “TA” embodies the fundamental core intention of separating from “WA” and independently appearing or existing in the phenomenal world.

“TA” symbolizes the process where individual existences emerge and differentiate from a unified, fundamental state into the phenomenal world. It suggests the moment of “differentiation” where order arises from chaos, concrete forms materialize, and they become established as self-sustaining entities.
