"All phenomena are false views, like a dream, like a mirage, like the moon in the water, like an image in a mirror, arising from deluded marks." This third clarifies false views. Sengzhao says: "The above clarified that external phenomena do not abide; this clarifies the false views of the internal mind. Both distinguish the meaning of emptiness, differing only in internal and external. Now, because the seeing is false, what is seen is not real; because what is seen is not real, it is signless and eternally pure. The two previous similes were taken from their rapid cessation; these four similes are taken from deluded conceptualization."
