Philosophical Nugget
…Who arrange colours to produce a picture, I teach.
The picture is not in the colours, nor in the canvas, nor in the plate…
(/ed: …but in the Mind. The same way, reality provides just the bare substrate as-is and
the Mind paints an objective world laden with meaning through cognition and the
entailed directed action.)
– Mahayana Buddhism, Lankavatara Sutra, Chapter 2, IX:118
