What is the relationship between the shadow in the mirror and the mirror itself?

When you look into a mirror, what is the relationship between the reflection in the mirror and the mirror itself? And what is the relationship between the image in the mirror and the appearance outside the mirror? The reflections in the mirror include: the forms seen by the eye consciousness, the sound of one's own voice heard by the ear consciousness, one's own scent smelled by the nose consciousness, the taste-objects in the mouth tasted by the tongue consciousness, the tactile objects within the body felt by the body consciousness, and the five aggregates with feeling that are discerned by the mind consciousness. This also includes the master-like function of the manas and all of the manas' activities. The seeing nature of the five consciousnesses that the sixth consciousness can observe, the seeing nature of the manas, as well as the seeing nature of the mind consciousness itself, and the five aggregates with feeling and the six sense-object realms observed by the mind consciousness—all of these are reflections. The reflections are born and manifested by the mirror; they are images transmitted forth by the mirror. The mirror truly exists forever without perishing, while the reflections arise and cease moment by moment; even while they exist, they are not truly existent—they are empty and illusory. The image and the appearance correspond one-to-one; they resemble each other. The image is transformed from the appearance, comes from the appearance, and exists in dependence upon the appearance; the two are neither identical nor different—apart from the appearance, there is no image.
