“The dream is a reflection of our own mind. This is easy to believe after we wake up, just as the Buddhas know—after they are enlightened—that the entities and objects of Saṃsāra are illusory. And just as it takes practice to recognize the illusory nature of dream while asleep, we must practice to realize the illusory nature of waking life... The process by which experience arises is the same whether we are dreaming or awake. The world is a dream, the teacher and the teaching are a dream, the result of our practice is a dream; there is no place where the dream breaks until we are liberated into pure Rigpa. Until then, we continue to dream ourselves and our lives in both the dream and the physical dimension.”
