In the converse conclusion, the Commentary says: "Apart from that..." etc.: when the mind stirs, it becomes consciousness, and based on consciousness, there are sense objects; when investigating their root, they are made solely by the One Mind. Hence a sūtra says: "Because the mind arises, diverse dharmas arise." Furthermore, Guishan said: "Originated dharmas are fundamentally empty; everything is vijñaptimātra. Consciousness is like an illusion or dream, and is merely the One Mind." Now, these three realms and six sense objects encompass all physical and mental dharmas; therefore, both the direct conclusion and the converse conclusion return to the One Mind.
