520    Visual metaphors in a number of Mahayana sutras construct 
       a discourse in which visual perception serves as a model 
       for knowledge and enlightenment. In the Perfection of 
       Wisdom (Prajnaparamita) and other Mahayana literature, 
       immediate access to reality is symbolized by vision and 
       set in opposition to language and conceptual thinking, 
       which are construed as obscuring reality. In addition to 
       its philosophical manifestations, the tension between 
       vision and language also functioned as a strategy of 
       legitimation in the struggle of the early heterodox 
       Mahayana movement for authority and legitimacy. T.
