“Thus meditating on the Four Brahmas the inherent purity of the phenomenal world should be meditated upon. All phenomena are indeed inherently pure, and therefore, the worshipper should think himself to be pure by nature. This natural purity of all phenomena should be established by the formula: Oṃ svabhāvaśuddhāḥ sarvadharmāḥ svabhāvaśuddho’ham—. If all phenomena are inherently pure, where then is the possibility of the cycle of existence? Because of its being covered up with such thought categories as the subject and the object. The way of purging of this impurity is the meditation on the good path By this it is made to disappear. Thus is established the inherent purity of all phenomena.
