  • świat w świadomości,
  • świadomość w głowie,
  • głowa w ciele,

Świat który widzimy to odwzorowanie rzeczywistości postrzegane przez umysł. Umysł znajduje się w ciele. Spostrzeżenie świata w umyśle. Wszystko co w nim widzimy: stół, ciało, inni ludzie, niebo - to pewnego rodzaju myśli. A kiedy zamkniesz oczy świat znika. Gdybyś też przestał słyszeć i czuć, co stało by się ze światem? Czy dalej byś istniał?

He was, however, most proud of his unbending and unqualified support for Buddhism throughout his entire kingdom. Proud of his knowledge and the contributions towards Buddhism, he asked Bodhidharma, “Since I came to the throne, I have built many temples, published numerous scriptures and supported countless monks and nuns. How great is the merit in all these?” “No merit whatsoever” was his shocking reply. “You have gained no merit. What you have done produces only worldly rewards, that is, good fortune, great power, or great wealth in your future lives, but you will still be wandering around in samsara.” Now, the emperor thought, he had often heard teachings from renowned masters who said, “Do good, and you will receive good; do bad and you will receive bad.
