The world we see is a painting
Born from the brush of discursive thought,
And within or upon it nothing truly existent can be found.
All things in samsara and nirvana are but mental labels and projections.
Knowing this one knows reality; Seeing this one sees what is true.
Gendun Gyatso, the second Dalai Lama
From the Dalai Lama’s Secret Temple by Ian Baker
