Take the example of a mirror. If you take a silver mirror and polish it thoroughly, many images will arise on its surface. But though they appear clearly on the surface, they are not in the mirror nor are they sticking to the mirror's surface. We cannot say that they are inside the mirror or outside. How then do they arise? It is simply the conjuction of there being, say, someone's face in the front of the mirror and the mirror being there. As a result of these different conditions, an image appears. Now anyone can understand that, although all sorts of images appear in a mirror, they do not exist in any solid way. But we have to understand that the same is also true for all the infinite manifestations of samsara and nirvana. The emptiness and the manifestation are indivisible: the emptiness cannot be separated from the manifestation.
