Mazu's "Revolving of the mind"

_

"The absolute and the phenomenal are without difference; both are wonderful functions.

_

There is no other principle,

_

and all are because of the revolving of the mind..."

_


_

Are feelings, thoughts, impressions, biases, and preferences considered phenomena? How are they different from the absolute?

_

What of delusions, evils, 'obstructions' and 'hindrances'? What are they?

_

If there is no other principle...where does this 'stopping' the 'revolving of the mind' business come from?
