[The Buddha said:]
Mine isn't a nirvana that exists
a created one or one with attributes
the consciousness that projects that we know
the cessation of this is my nirvana
This is the cause and supporting condition
whereby thoughts create the body
on this is what the mind is based
on this is what consciousness depends
When the great river quits flowing
waves no longer stir
when conceptual consciousness ceases
the other forms don't rise.
---The Lankavatara Sutra---
