What is the immediate experience of your own mind? When you see all things existing, their existence is not existence of itself, but your own mind conceives of them as existing. When you see all things as nonexistent, their nonexistence is not nonexistence of itself; your own mind conceives of them as nonexistent. This is how is it with everything—in every case it is your own mind construing them as existing or not existing. Also, even if people have done all sorts of things wrong, once they see the spiritual ruler in themselves they will attain liberation.
Note: The last line is further support for the fact that Zen masters taught sudden enlightenment.
