Stories 8

If one thought is born in the mind, then one enters the three realms.
If one thought is extinguished in the mind, then one exits the three realms.
This is knowing that the birth and extinguishing of the three realms and
the existence and nonexistence of the 10,000 things are all from the one Mind.

If one thought arises in the mind, then the two karmas of good and bad exist,
and the heavenly hall and hells exist. If one thought does not arise in the mind
then the two karmas of good and bad are without existence, likewise
the heavenly hall and hells are without existence.
