Everything Is Created By Mind Alone


To understand the Buddhas of endless time just penetrate this phrase: Everything is created by mind alone.

---Morning Bell Chant---

This stanza is from a chant that is recited every morning in most Mahayana temples, monasteries, and Dharma Halls around the world.

It does not mean a thing does not exist. A table exists. A chair exists. This stanza means we give name to all things. We define and describe everything. A thing has this purpose only because we assign it this purpose.
