“… Subhūti, how should one teach it to others?
Without grasping signs and by staying with things as they are, immovable
Why is that so?
All conditioned phenomena
Are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow
Like the dew, or like lightning
You should contemplate them like this.”
Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra，Vol. 1
「云何爲人演説？不取於相，如如不動，何以故？一切有爲法，如夢，幻，泡，影，如露亦如電，應作如是觀。」
《金剛般若波羅蜜經》卷一
Remark:
Why would a truly enlightened mentor not grasp signs and appearances, and why would his mind remain in unstirred, immovable suchness when he propagates the Dharma of the tathāgatagarbha? It is because he already aligns his mind with this sutra, that which is the tathagatagarbha, that mind described in the Heart Sutra. After aligning his mind with this sutra, the mentor sees from the perspective of the tathāgatagarbha: that all conditioned dharmas are essentially like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, or a shadow, like a drop of dew or a flash of lightning. In fact, “this sutra” truly permanently exists, and it never demands anything from sentient beings.
