Answer: Because one realizes that the true mind is motionless, the myriad dharmas do not shift; this is the meaning of permanent abiding. If one sees the myriad dharmas shift and pass away, it is entirely the deluded mind. Because all realms are only the deluded movement of the mind, if the mind does not arise, external objects are fundamentally empty, since they are transformations from consciousness. If separated from the mind-consciousness, not even a single dharma permanently abides—how much less could there be the shifting of the myriad dharmas?
