“It is because the myriad phenomena are merely a reflection of the mind. When something exists in the mind, then it exists. When something does not exist in the mind, then it does not exist. If one is able to grasp one's mind, then one is able to grasp all myriad phenomena; one can make everything external to the mind exist, if he wants it; if he doesn’t want it, the things disappear immediately.”

Master Sheng Yen
