大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經 (Shubhakarasimha & Yixing 724) 6.28

He will see his own figure to be serene with the characteristics of a

Perfectly Awakened One.

[His] body produces the body-image [of a buddha], and [the mirror

of] the mind is produced by the mind,

And they always give rise to his own actions, pure and varied.

Then light rays emerge from him and completely illuminate [all

places] like flashes of lightning,

And the mantrin is able to perform all buddha deeds.

If his vision achieves purity, his hearing and so on will also be thus,

And he will be able to perform any deeds in accordance with what

he thinks in his mind.

“Next, Lord of Mysteries, bodhisattvas cultivating bodhisattva practices

via the gateway of mantras generate the [deity] image from their own body

in this manner: there is none so special as to surpass a saṃbuddha. Just as

the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, and so on are an assemblage and

agglomeration of the four elements, so too is it thus empty of own-nature,

and there is only that which is grasped by name; it is just like empty space,

and there is nothing to be attached to, like a reflection. That Tathāgata accom-

plishes perfect awakening in uninterrupted mutual dependent arising. If some-

thing arises from conditions, then it arises like a reflection. Therefore, the

deity is oneself and oneself is the deity, and they generate each other. The

body[-image] produced by the body arises as the image of the deity.

“Lord of Mysteries, observe how this Dharma is dependent on the penetrating wisdom [of realization] and the penetrating wisdom [of realization] is dependent on the Dharma. They interact with each other, but are non-abiding and by nature empty.

“Lord of Mysteries, how does there arise from the mind the image produced by the mind? Lord of Mysteries, it is, for instance, just as when someone applies the mind to either white or yellow or red, and a mind imbued [with that color] arises. In the same way the body also operates. Lord of Mysteries, again it is like when one internally visualizes a maṇḍala in one’s mind and treats [someone’s] fever [with it], whereupon that being’s fever will be cured instantly, without any doubt. The maṇḍala is not different from the mind, and the mind is not different from the maṇḍala. Why? Because [the mind] has the selfsame characteristic as the maṇḍala. Lord of Mysteries, again it is as if an illusionist illusorily created a man, and that man again created an apparition. Lord of Mysteries, what do you think? Which of them would be superior?”

Thereupon Vajrapāṇi said to the Buddha, “World-honored One, there would be no difference between these two. Why? World-honored One, because they have not actually arisen, and because these two men are by their original nature empty, they are the same as illusions.”

“So it is, Lord of Mysteries. The mind producing things and that which is produced by the mind are in this manner both empty, nondual, and not separate.”
