The place that heaven and earth meets
人心有個眞景 非絲非竹而自恬愉 不烟不茗而自淸芬 須念淨境空 慮忘形釋 纔得以游衍其中(後 84)
There is one unchanging scenery in everyone's mind. Even if it is not a lyre or a flute, it is comfortable and pleasant on its own. Even if it is not incense or tea, it is clean and fragrant by itself. Every object that faces is shown as emptiness because the awareness is clear. If every distraction in mind and the phenomena disappear, the scenery in mind could be enjoyed freely. (Book2 84)
Shape of mind changes, but the earth of mind never changes. Once it arising, it disappearing.
