Question: 'Others say that a single thought-moment is the single nature, and the spiritual awareness of a single thought-moment is in its essential nature constantly quiescent. They also say that nature is identical to a single thought-moment, meaning that the mind-nature is spiritually aware and quiescent; nature is identical to the Dharma-body, spiritual awareness is identical to prajñā, and quiescence is identical to liberation. They also say, the wondrous essence of true awareness in a single thought-moment. They also say, and my pure, spiritually aware knowledge in a single thought-moment. Relying on such texts, they directly point to the single thought-moment in the text and name it true, pure, spiritual awareness; this is an understanding in terms of principle. Now you say it belongs to phenomena and is a dharma of the aggregates and sense-bases. How do these compare with what the other party points to, in terms of being distant or immediate?'
