The answer says: "This reveals that the Buddha attained the dharmadhātu mind, sharing the same mind with all sentient beings; because their minds are not different, he knew the doubts in their minds. That the offerings spoke verses reveals that all phenomena are fundamentally the substance of the dharmadhātu. Because the dharmadhātu is inconceivable, all phenomena are inconceivable; this reveals that for the noble assembly, mind and object are non-dual. Because ordinary beings are deluded about the dharmadhātu, they themselves perceive mind and object as two, and thus inverted [views] arise." It also says: "Mind has no inside, outside, or in-between; the myriad phenomena and self and other are of the same substance. The one is not one; the other is not other. Therefore we know that ordinary beings and sages share the same true mind: sentient beings falsely create separation and do not know it, whereas the buddhas accord with their sameness and suddenly realize it. Just as the mirror's face reflects while the mirror's back is dark, yet both are one bronze substance though differentiated as bright and obscure; and just as river water is clear while river mud is turbid, both residing in one nature of wetness though having muddy and pellucid [aspects]—the ordinary mind and the noble mind can be compared to this purport."
