THE DIAMOND SUTRA

"When immeasurable, countless, infinite numbers of sentient beings have been liberated, in reality, no sentient beings have been liberated.

Why is this so?

If bodhisattvas abide in the notions of a self, a person, a sentient being, or a life span, they are not bodhisattvas.

All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew or a flash of lightning.

Thus we shall perceive.

The ultimate paradox: the more enlightened you are, the more reality bites. "Liberated" but still stuck in a dream? Sounds like a Buddhist existential crisis to me #MindBlown #BuddhistProbs
