Most people think that they know what their minds are. However, the truth is that they don’t, and that is the cause of all suffering they undergo. All things and events that our lives consist of are just images created by the mind and are not real, that is, they are just the functions of the mind.
When we are aware of this fact, we can enjoy our lives just as if we were watching a movie. This is why ancient masters would say that we should not be fooled by the play of the mind by clarifying the mind, which means realising what the mind is.
