What are those four? To wit, ‘(1) the sameness of body being like a a reflection in a mirror; (2) the sameness of sound (śabdasamatā) being like an echo (pratiśrutkopama); (3) the sameness of thought being like an illusion; (4) the sameness of consciousness being like open space. Son of good family, the morality of the Bodhisatva becomes like open space when he is endowed with the four dharmas. [...]”.
