@NoaidiX where in the sutras is the Buddha compared metaphorically to a mirror?

Continued: The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra and Saṃdhinirmocana Sūtra explicitly liken the activity of consciousness to a mirror reflecting images, while the Śūraṅgama Sūtra uses the mirror metaphor to depict the fundamentally pure mind free of discrimination.

I resonate most with the range of metaphors invoked by the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra, which also compares the Buddha's purification of beings (instantaneous, culminating in non-discrimination and imagelessness) to a mirror reflecting images indiscriminately/instantaneously.
