“Through the influence of habitual delusions, boundless worlds, innumerable varieties of things spring up in the mind. This boundless universe and these subtle ideas are not perceptible and knowable;ssss1 only Bodhisattvasssss1 believe, understand, and become perfectly convinced of these through the contemplation of Vidyamatarassss1 (all things are nothing but phenomena in mind); hence they are called imperceptible and unknowable. What are the perceptible and knowable phenomena?”
