+The key to understanding the Mahayana and Vajrayana views lies in
+Nagarjuna’s reasonings.  This is because the reason the aggregates and
+suffering can be described as being pure by nature is that they are empty by
+nature—they are unborn.  They never actually come into existence.  Something
+that never really comes into existence cannot possibly be impure, for what is
+there to be impure in the first place?  It is like getting covered with filth
+in a dream—no matter how dirty you might seem to be, since not a single
+particle of the filth is real, in fact there is no impurity at all.  Since
+there is no impurity, there cannot actually be any purity either, just as when
+you take a bath in the dream after having gotten so filthy, your cleanliness
+after the bath is just as lacking in reality as the dirtiness that preceded
+it.  Therefore, the true nature of the dream transcends both purity and
+impurity, and this is given the name “original purity.” We have to
+understand that what original purity refers to is the freedom from all
+fabrications, the emptiness in which we can gain certainty by using
+Nagarjuna’s reasonings.
