The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra
Chapter 1. King Rāvaṇa's Request
An Abbreviated Version
This chapter teaches that all things (both dharmas and non-dharmas/phenomena and non-phenomena) are a projection of the mind, like waves in the ocean (of the storehouse consciousness). Their varieties and discriminations are all projections. Knowing this directly renders a transformation in consciousness. The buddha's body is the awareness/knowledge and surpassing of this process: it is the oneness which is the tathāgatagarbha.
