4.27

Answer: Because Bodhisattva Dharmapāla said: The name 'realm' applies to both internal and external, meaning there are realms apart from the mind and realms not apart from the mind. Fearing confusion with external realms, one says only 'representation-only'. Therefore the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhiśāstra states: 'Because all foolish common mortals delusionally grasp external realms, generate kleśas and karma, and cycle through birth and death, unable to understand the contemplation of mind; it is not that the internal realm of the object-aspect is completely non-existent like the external.'
