The Meaning of Seeing the Mind and Realizing One's Nature

Seeing the mind and seeing the nature means understanding the mind that is the tathāgatagarbha, realizing the tathāgatagarbha, the mind of self-nature purity, and seeing the nature of the tathāgatagarbha — that is, seeing the Buddha-nature. This is the deluded mind seeing the true mind. Because the deluded mind has always had ignorance and does not know the true reality of the dharmadhātu, it takes the world of the five aggregates as real, as self and what belongs to self, and thus there is the attachment to self and the attachment to dharmas. After realizing the tathāgatagarbha, the true reality of the dharmadhātu, one then knows that all dharmas are manifested and revealed by the tathāgatagarbha and are not real, and one will gradually eradicate the attachment to self and the attachment to dharmas, thereby completely severing beginningless ignorance as well as the delusions as numerous as dust and sand, and attaining omniscience/wisdom of all aspects (sarvākārajñatā).
