All Phenomena Are Illusory

How do the myriad signals appear to us as the six dust realms? It is like a continuous stream of signals being simulated into television images. We are essentially watching television, yet remain unrelated to the television images. Why do we invest our minds entirely into these simulated images? How can we withdraw our minds and detach from the images? How lighthearted and delightful it would be to become an observer! How liberating it would be for everything to be unrelated to me!

Regarding all realms, you are but an image in my mind—illusory arising and ceasing, illusory coming and going. I watch you arise, watch you cease, watch you come, watch you go, allowing you to come and go freely while my mind remains unmoved. Spiritual practice should be like this, and ultimately will be like this—only then can true liberation be attained.
