What does this mean? Because all dharmas arise from the mind and are produced by false thoughts, all discriminations are the discrimination of one's own mind. Mind does not see mind, and there is no mark to be grasped. One should know that all realms of the world are sustained based on the ignorant, false mind of sentient beings. Therefore all dharmas are like images in a mirror, without substance to be grasped. They are solely the mind, false and deceptive; for when the mind arises, various dharmas arise, and when the mind ceases, various dharmas cease." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.82) - [Next: 4.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.84) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668~en-mt.4.83) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.284) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.83) · Pramāṇa
