Perceptions & Direct Contact - Two Levels of Consciousness


     “The Lankavatara sutra … covers all the major teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, and contains but two teachings:
          • everything we perceive as being real is nothing but the perception of our own minds
          • the knowledge of this is something that must be realized and experienced for oneself and cannot be expressed in words.”

      Red Pine translation & commentary. “The Lankavatara Sutra – A Zen Text.” Counterpoint, Berkley, CA, 2012.
