“This view of the world as a mere assemblage of separate things and a sequence of distinct events gives the individual the feeling that he is no more than a temporary part of reality—a thing among things. According to Mahayana there are no things, considered as separate entities. So-called things are gestures of the universe, that is, of an energy system which is the only real ‘self’ that we have, but which we cannot define or classify—in the same way that we cannot (and need not) look directly into our own eyes. Yet it is possible to be aware that this indefinable energy system, which, in its entirety, is what and who each individual truly is.”
