Environment Quote by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodro Taye
““The Analysts and Traditionists state that the environment is created from the wind at the peak [of existence] which remains from the time of destruction, Or from five types of seeds carried from other worlds. The stream [of phenomena] is undispersed and coheres through [the effect] of concordant actions. Lasting form and time are deceptive impressions within naive minds; It is taught that the exalted ones comprehend the cessation of particles and moments.””
