Fathoming the Mind Quotes

“In Buddhism, consciousness is central because all phenomena are realized to be mere appearances to consciousness that have no independent existence.”
― B. Alan Wallace, Fathoming the Mind: Inquiry and Insight in Dudjom Lingpa's Vajra Essence

“According to the general Buddhist view, the whole of saṃsāra, with its myriad pleasant and miserable realms, is a prison. But from the perspective of pristine awareness, all of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa is equally suffused by the primordial purity of the Great Perfection.”
― B. Alan Wallace, Fathoming the Mind: Inquiry and Insight in Dudjom Lingpa's Vajra Essence
