The mental phenomena that are able to see are also like this.” Explanation: There are two interpretations of this. First, if one is deluded about the mind, taking it to be an object, it is like the sun blinding the eyes: entering a room, one does not see one's own possessions; being displaced by external objects, one does not see one's own mind, which is also like this. Second, if by awakening one realizes that objects are the mind, then the myriad phenomena are like the stars and the one mind is like the sunlight: when the light of the mind shines everywhere, no phenomenon can be exposed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 99.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.20) - [Next: 99.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.22) - [Up: 99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.99.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2733.2.238) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.99.21) · Pramāṇa
