“What are the six tastes? Suffering is the taste of vinegar, the non-Eternal is the salty, non-Self is the bitterness, Bliss has the taste of sweetness, Self is of pungent taste, and the Eternal is light (mild) in taste. In secular life there are three tastes, which are: 1) non-Eternal, 2) non-Self, and 3) Suffering. The illusion is the fuel, and Wisdom is the fire. Through these means, we gain the meal of Nirvana. This is the Eternal, Bliss, and Self. All of my disciples taste them as sweet."
