+All apparent phenomena are nothing but delusion, and there is, moreover, no
+freedom from delusion to be achieved by dispelling delusion.  Delusion is, by
+its own essence, completely pure and, hence, enlightened.  All phenomena are,
+in this way, primordially, fully, and completely enlightened.  Phenomena
+appearing as various attributes are, therefore, indeed the mandala of vajra
+body, speech, and mind.  They are like the Buddhas of the three times, never
+transcending the essence of complete purity.  Sentient beings and Buddhas are
+not differentiated in terms of their essence.  Just like distinct causes and
+results appearing in a dream, they are nothing but perceptions of individual
+minds brought forth by the power of imputation.
