Dharma Quote by Longchen Rabjam
““All phenomena are embraced within a single self-knowing awareness. Even though they arise as the totality of samsara and nirvana, the phenomena of the world of appearances and possibilities— limitless, boundless—arise from basic space. Therefore, they are subsumed within basic space from which the first arise.””
