Answer: As an expedient means, the Tathāgata gradually leads sentient beings to attain entry into the emptiness of the self and the emptiness of dharmas, and therefore taught that there is internal consciousness, but in reality there is no internal consciousness that is grāhya. If it were not so, then one could not speak of the emptiness of self and the emptiness of dharmas. For this reason, by false discrimination, this mind knows that mind, and that mind knows this mind.
