The Commentary on the Baozang lun says: '"To make this real and negate that; to make that real and negate this; like bird tracks [drawing] letters in the sky, wondrous and strange appearances arise"—this refutes [the duality of] this and that. All phenomena are like illusions, comparable to bird tracks [drawing] letters in the sky; all are produced from the mind, and thus wondrous and strange appearances arise. It also says: '"Its light surpasses the sun and moon; its virtue exceeds the Grand Purity. The myriad things are unmade; all are nameless. It transforms heaven and earth, unrestrained and completely free."—The myriad things cannot establish themselves; people fabricate names for them, all arising from the self-mind. Transforming heaven and earth, when one realizes that everything is mind-only, the myriad phenomena will not encumber one's spiritual luminescence, which means wherever one turns is autonomous, that is, unrestrained and completely free.'
