 | | It is identification with a spurious (imagined) autonomous entity that is supposed to be born, to suffer, and to die, that incurs the process af Causality called karma, and causes the notion of being in bondage to arise. |
 | | Identification with a phenomenal object results in the suppositional concept of an autonomous entity, and that concept is taken to be a factual 'self', whereas nothing of the kind exists, has ever existed, or could ever exist as a thing-in-itself, or as other than a concept in what is called 'mind'. |
 | | An entity, therefore, is 'a dream, an illusion, a bubble and a shadow', as the Buddha said in the Diamond Sutra, a breeze of phantasy that troubles the calm waters of mind without any possibility of effecting anything whatever of a factual character in the dream of phenomenal living. |
