So you should view this fleeting world -- A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream. It is also the first creative work with an explicit public domain dedication, as its colophon at the end claims it was created for universal free distribution. The diamond that cuts through illusion. Nothing is permanent. All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. Like dew and like lightning, one should contemplate them in this way. Out of nowhere, the mind comes forth, and the earth blossoms and brings forth life. You get there by realizing you are already there. Arouse the mind without resting it on anything.
