"Mahamati, the error in these erroneous
teachings that are generally held by the philosophers lies
in this: they do not recognize that the objective world
rises from the mind itself; they do not understand that the
whole mind-system also rises from the mind itself; but
depending upon these manifestations of the mind as being
real they go on discriminating them, like the simple-minded
ones that they are, cherishing the dualism of this and that,
of being and non-being, ignorant of the fact that there is
but one common Essence. On the contrary my teaching is based
upon the recognition that the objective world, like a
vision, is a manifestation of the mind itself; it teaches
the cessation of ignorance, desire, deed and causality; it
teaches the cessation of suffering that arises from the
discriminations of the triple world."
