Dharma Master Hongyan says: 'If someone clings to there being insentient things apart from the minds of sentient beings, so that Buddha-nature is not omnipresent, all such views contradict the meaning that the tathāgatagarbha pervades the dharmadhātu. The Consciousness-Only Treatise says: "The physical body and the receptacle world are none other than the nimittabhāga of the ālaya[vijñāna]. The nimittabhāga is not separate from the darśanabhāga." It also says: "When wisdom apprehends nothing whatsoever regarding objects of cognition, because it is free from the characteristics of the two graspers, it truly abides in representation-only." For instance, when the sixth consciousness takes the present mind as its object, it is only a single kṣaṇa; what could be the grasper and the grasped? Even if it takes the three times as objects, it is still the present mind falsely dividing grasper and grasped. If one grasps this meaning, the three realms are mind-only, and the dharmadhātu is of one characteristic—how could it not be fitting?'
