WHAT IS MIND? MIND IS NOT A THING, BUT AN EVENT. A thing has substance in it, an event is just a process. A thing is like a rock, an event is like a wave—it exists, but is not substantial. It is just the event between the wind and the ocean, a process, a phenomenon. This is the first thing to be understood, that mind is a process like a wave or like a river, but it has no substance in it. If it has substance, then it cannot be dissolved. If it has no substance, it can disappear without leaving a single trace behind.
