9.134

The statement that all phenomena are not firm and real means that they are produced from discriminating thoughts. If one can comprehend that the discriminating consciousness is empty, one knows that all phenomena are fundamentally quiescent. Arising and ceasing are both discriminations; if discrimination is extinguished, phenomena neither arise nor cease. The *Vajrasamādhi Sūtra* also says: 'Phenomena are produced from discrimination, / And are also extinguished through discrimination. / When all discriminating phenomena are extinguished, / These phenomena neither arise nor cease.'
