"Superfactual truth is a name for the highest kind of reality; the reality which is true, authentic, and so on because it is what is without any distortion or cover-up. Ordinary beings do not contact that reality, even though they are, in fact, immersed in it. Bodhisatvas—the ones who are on the way to complete enlightenment—who have reached the bodhisatva levels see superfact in their formal meditation but not in their post-meditation. Buddhas, those who are fully enlightened, see superfact all of the time. Superfact is the state of being in which the completely purified mind of enlightenment has none of the cover-ups that previously prevented it from seeing that superfact in full, unhindered view. The concepts of dualistic mind are like little things that suddenly pop up in vast enlightened mind and, in doing so, prevent that mind from seeing superfact. Therefore, superfact is finally described as the total absence of all elaborated conceptual structures. That freedom from elaboration is at the same time a completely uninhibited view of what actually is. That is the Thorough Cut way of describing the unified two truths." Tony Duff
