Italian term or phrase: natura di campo
Nel Tonglen per qualcun altro si visualizza
tutta la sofferenza proveniente dalla sua natura ordinaria
come un fumo nero. Ma si visualizza anche una
sfera luminosa perfetta nel suo cuore, che rappresenta, per così dire, la
sua natura di campo, se si preferisce quest’altro termine a
quello tradizionalmente in uso nella psicologia buddhista,
ove si parla di “vera natura della sua mente”.

neutral  Wendy Streitparth: This, i.e. the true nature of one's being, is a perfect translation for the second half of the sentence!

Reference

Reference information:
All the negativity in the world is visualised as a cloud of black smoke or dust which we
breathe into our bodies through our nostrils. As we breathe this in it settles in the heart and
there purifies and eats away all our own negativity, our own fear, aversion, and ignorance.
Like the sun arising at dawn our own alaya nature arises as bright radiant light which
disperses all the negativity. This heals and purifies every negative conditioning that we have
and releases us from its effects.
