"I bow at the feet of the masters who teach that, like a butter lamp within a vase, the treasure of a pauper, and so forth, the sugata essence, luminosity, or the dharmakāya exists within the sheath of the relative, incidental aggregates. I bow at the feet of the masters who carefully distinguish, “All imagined and dependent phenomena are nonexistent, but the fully established true nature is never nonexistent,” teaching what transcends existence and nonexistence, and eternalism and nihilism. I bow at the feet of the masters who teach, “All relative phenomena are merely the dependent origination of cause and result, but the self-arisen absolute transcends dependent origination,” teaching the difference between primordial awareness that arises from conditions, and what is self-arisen."
