3.14

Question: The mind can make a buddha; the mind makes sentient beings. Because one understands the true mind, one becomes a buddha; because one clings to the deluded mind, one becomes a sentient being. If one becomes a buddha, one is fully endowed with the unobstructed five eyes and the outflow-free five aggregates. Therefore a sūtra says: 'Extinguishing impermanent form, one attains eternal form.' And it also says: 'Wondrous form is tranquil and constantly abides.' And it also says: 'Skillfully able to discriminate all marks of phenomena.' Why do you say that the true mind does not abide in seeing, hearing, sensing, or knowing, and is forever freed from all thoughts of discrimination?
