“Do you want to know what the threefold world is? It is nothing other than the mind-ground that you … are standing on. When you have a moment of greed in your mind, that is the world of desire. When you have a moment of anger in your mind, that is the world of form. When you have a moment of ignorance in your mind, that is the world of formlessness. These are the pieces of furniture in your house.” – Lin-Chi
