"Oh, Sons of Buddhas, in the end the three Spheres are nothing but Mind.

" "Outside
the
Precious Mind, there is neither Buddhas nor beings, nor any
object external of consciousness." "In truth, appearances are Mind itself
and do not exist outside of it "To realize that all perceptions are Mind-as-
such is the essential
characteristic of the Buddhist Path's holders; true situation of all objects, it
is the sacred point of the Essential Teachings relating to meditation. To
destroy the illusion of phenomenal existence, it is the essential hint, just as
it is essential for the butcher to know the animal's vital point in order to kill
it, or for the lumberjack to know where to plant his nail in order to dry out
the tree. To say that appearances are Mind means that they are Mind
perceiving itself.
In fact, Mind never perceives an external object. Mind has no form or color.
It does not dwell inside or outside the body, nor in between. No matter
which way we look for mind, it cannot be found. Mind is Pure Light in its
perception of itself, Empty
in its own Emptiness, and Perfectly conscious in its own investigation.
There is no object to meditate upon, nor a subject who meditates, nor the
act of
meditating.
Mind being devoid of a distinctive essence, how could you explain that
Essence?
By passing the realm of the expressible, there is nothing to say."
