Ground

  • Foundation.
  • Foundation of existence.
  • That which is regarded as ontologically prior to something else.
  • The ground is indivisible.
  • As nothing actually separates from the ground, all beings and forms are actually the ground.
  • To illustrate, the background and the foreground of an image are coextensive. It is the mind that imagines them to be separate.

Sayings:

  • “Existence and the ground of existence are one.”
