Not discovering objective truth does not mean that objective truth does not exist

All objectively existing matters and principles do not depend on whether some sentient beings, certain sentient beings, or all sentient beings understand or recognize them, nor on whether sentient beings acknowledge them or not—objective fact is simply fact. A blind person cannot see the sun and sky, but that does not mean the sun and sky do not exist. Therefore, whether the beauty of a flower exists, and whether the expressive form (vijñapti-rūpa) and non-expressive form (avijñapti-rūpa) upon the five sense-objects exist, does not shift according to the knowledge and cognition of sentient beings. Truth and objective fact must be continuously explored and unearthed by ignorant sentient beings; without exploration there is no discovery, and the absence of discovery does not mean that objective truth does not exist. It is called "objective" precisely because facts and laws do not shift according to the individual or collective will of sentient beings; one can only say whether sentient beings have the wisdom to discover and recognize them.

Sentient beings all take their mind consciousness far too seriously, so when the mind consciousness is ignorant and deluded, it does not know its own ignorance, and instead complains that there is no truth. Truth is right before one's eyes—with what kind of vision one sees it is a very great question.

In the Sahā world, when all or most sentient beings do not recognize the Buddha-Dharma and do not endorse the Buddha-Dharma, the Buddha and noble ones will not come to this world to transmit the Dharma and teach. Sentient beings who do not wish to awaken cannot attract the light; even if the light shines constantly above their heads, they will still remain in deep slumber, unable to wake.
