realm of liberation. And as his mind is now quiet, he can practice
the Dharani doctrine successfully. One will be able to avoid the
temporary and ever-changing happiness. All doctrines are born
from the mind; they are not born from time, from nature or from
the ego. They are not self-created or born without cause.

and consciousness). The impermanent Form is like a bubble;
Sensation is like a reflection in the water, Perception is like hot
air. Impression is like the banana on the tree and Consciousness
is like delusion. This is how all things should be viewed. A n y
other view of the doctrine is wrong”.

white elephant, a white buffalo or a yellow buffalo. One hears
loud sounds of thunder from the vast emptiness, or voices
preaching the Dharma.
