“Of all things seen in the world

Only mind is the host;

By grasping forms according to interpretation

It becomes deluded, not true to reality.

All philosophies in the world

Are mental fabrications;

There has never been a single doctrine

By which one could enter the true essence of things.

By the power of perceiver and perceived

All kinds of things are born;

They soon pass away, not staying,

Dying out instant to instant.”

— Buddha, Avatamsaka Sutra, 10
