Foundation
Man’s thoughts are
the product of this karma and habits;
man’s mind is the product of condition;
man is the product of his life,
for which his life is one of karma and habits;
his life is what makes his mind individual.
Human life creates kleshas along the way.
One’s life exists because one’s body exists –
because one exists.
Man’s mind is originally the empty Mind,
and this empty Mind creates countless different things through life;
therefore each individual person is
a reflection of the Universe.
Their foundation is righteous,
in which all things that appear are
reflections of the original Mind and are realities.
Yet at the same time everything –
Heaven, man, and earth –
and non-existent.
