    All these arguments based on the facts of experience show that objects do not exist really outside the mind, that they are products of mental creation and that their appearance is entirely mind dependent. Therefore the Yogācāra’s theory of the two truths concludes that the whole world is a product of mind—it is the collective mental actions (karma) of all beings.
