Buddha told us (Lankavatara Sutra) :

"Mahamati, foolish common people do not understand that what is seen is merely their own mind. Being convinced that there exists outside a variety of objects and -as a result of habit-energy, acquired in past lives,- being addicted to discriminate between existence and non-existence, oneness and otherness, bothness and non-bothness, permanence and impermanence, as true to the own-being of things, they produce false imaginings."
