Consciousness of relinquishing the confusing and retaining the pure. Although one contemplates facts and principles as all being not separate from consciousness, nevertheless this internal consciousness possesses both object and mind, because when mind arises, it must rely on internal objects to be produced. Yet the word 'only' is applied to consciousness, not to the object. The Cheng weishi lun states: 'Consciousness exists only internally, while objects also extend externally; fearing confusion with the external, it says only "consciousness-only." Furthermore, foolish persons are deluded and grasp at objects, generating kleśas and karma and sinking into saṃsāra, failing to understand how to contemplate the mind and diligently seek liberation; out of compassion for them, the word "consciousness-only" is spoken, causing them to contemplate their own minds and be liberated from saṃsāra, not meaning that internal objects are completely non-existent like external ones. Because objects have ambiguity, they are relinquished and not called "only"; since the essence of mind is pure, it is retained and spoken of as "consciousness-only."' The Ghanavyūha-sūtra states: 'The objects conditioned by mind, intellection, and consciousness / Are none of them separate from their own nature; / Therefore I say that everything / Is consciousness-only without remainder.' The Avataṃsaka and other scriptures state that the three realms are mind-only, and the Bequeathed Teachings Sūtra states: 'Therefore, you should well rein in your mind; / If you rein it in one place, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished'—all are subsumed under this gate. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1861.1.42) - [Next: 1.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1861.1.44) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1861.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1861~en-mt.1.43) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [般若波羅蜜多心經幽贊](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.1.45) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1861.1.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1861.1.43) · Pramāṇa
