the flowers of the mind blooming
"consciousness arises
together with the minutest sensory objects and sensory material of the various sense organs,
and with it arise external realms
as well like so many images in a clear mirror
or like the ocean when a strong wind blows.
And as the wind of externality stirs the sea of the mind,
its waves of consciousness never cease."
"Drawing forms and spreading colors
I, too, teach like this
the colors don’t contain a pattern
nor do the brush or pristine surface.
To please the host of beings they render figures with their art
but teachings are unfaithful
for truth isn’t in the words."
