釋摩訶衍論 3.61

3.61

The treatise says: For example, if one takes a crystal jewel and places it in one spot, and various colored jewels are gathered all around it, that crystal jewel transforms and manifests in accordance with the color of whatever jewel it faces. The mirror of conditioning perfuming is also like this. Furthermore, for example, because empty space has sovereign power, it conforms and establishes itself in all works undertaken. The mirror of conditioning perfuming is also like this, because it establishes itself appropriately in the practices of all sentient beings. As the basic [text] states: "Fourth is the mirror of conditioning perfuming, which means that relying on the dharma's departure and emergence, it pervasively illuminates the minds of sentient beings, causing them to cultivate wholesome roots and manifesting according to their thoughts." The four great aspects of original awakening such as these pervade all sentient being realms, all two-vehicle realms, all bodhisattva realms, and all Tathāgata realms: there is nowhere they do not abide, nowhere they do not illuminate, nowhere they do not penetrate, nowhere they do not reach, thoroughly complete and thoroughly complete.
