After an arhat enters nirvāṇa, not even a single hair remains. When the manas ceases, it takes away the myriad dharmas, and none of them exist anymore. The remaining eighth consciousness has no marks whatsoever—even the Buddha's eye cannot perceive it. Since everything apart from the eighth consciousness, the tathāgatagarbha, is impermanent, not long-enduring, and bound to perish sooner or later, why should we be so greedy and attached? How wonderful it would be to live each day in accord with conditions!
