Master Ri-Chang mentioned 修幻等八喻 (8 similes of illusion) in his Lamrim Commentary Track 142b.
I googled to find out more about what these 8 similes are about.
From Eight similes of illusion - Rigpa Wiki :
- Dream: like a dream, objects perceived with the five senses are not there, but they appear through delusion
- Magical illusion: like a magic illusion, things are made to appear due to the temporary coming together of causes and conditions
- Hallucination or trompe-l’oeil : like a hallucination, things appear, yet there is nothing there
- Mirage: like a mirage, things appear, but they are not real
- Echo: like an echo, things can be perceived, but there is nothing there, either inside or outside
- City of gandharvas: like a city of gandharvas, there is neither a dwelling nor anyone to dwell
- Reflection: like a reflection, things appear, but have no reality of their own
- Apparition: like an apparition, there are different types of appearances, but they are not really there
There is a Chinese description here from https://blog.xuite.net/rwaylin/twblog/116574707-消文(2013%2F09%2F18) :
幻等八喻 ，《大般若經》卷第四百十一：「譬如 夢境、幻事、陽焰、光影、水月、響聲、空花、變化 句義實無所有。」
A more detailed Chinese description here:
There are differences in the order and in the naming. But generally I think they convey a similar meaning.
Hope it can aid us to see the illusion that we are in.
