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. + -- Heidi I.
