April 8:
Obviously, everything in the world is constantly changing, so it's like one dream after another, like a stream of water whooshing by.It goes on changing, and has never stopped.
The only thing that does not change is your true mind. It is the “observer in the world of your inner mind that knows when you are cold, when you are getting old, and when afflictions arise. It is something that exists that is pure and lucid like a bright mirror, and unshakeable as a diamond. It will not change. nor will it be damaged. It is like a clear bright sky and a still quiet ocean. It alone can really be there with you always.(page 93)
~An excerpt from The World is a Reflection of the Mind.

可见,世上切都在不断变化着,就像一个又一个梦,又像哗哗流动的水。改变,从来没有停止过。唯一不变的,是你的真心,是你内心世界里那个知道你冷了、老了、生起烦恼了的“旁观者”。它是明镜般清醒、金刚般无可动摇的存在。它不会改变,更不会损毁。它像是明朗的天空,寂静的大海。只有它,才能真正与你常在。(73~74页)
