Pearls of Universe - Volume III

“Also, next, oh good man! For example, all beings take delight in seeing the brightness of the moon. That is why we call the moon 'that which is pleasing to see’. If beings possess greed, malevolence and ignorance, there can be no pleasure in seeing her. The same goes with the Tathagata. The Nature of the Tathagata is pure, good, clean and undefiled.

For this reason, we say that the Tathagata is like the brightness of the Moon.”
