問:須彌大海入芥子中,麁細相違,如何能入?解云:西方諸師略作三釋。一云:一切諸法用如為性,以所依如離諸相分,能依諸法無定大小,由此道理細須彌等。一云:依唯識理,一切諸法皆不離識,隨心所變亦無定相,以是義故細須彌等。一云:一切諸法,因緣道理皆無定相,由此因緣細須彌等。

Question: Mount Sumeru and the great ocean entering into a mustard seed are mutually contradictory in terms of coarse and subtle; how can they enter? Explanation: The Western masters briefly provide three explanations. One says: all phenomena take suchness as their nature; because suchness as the basis is free from marks and divisions, the dependent phenomena have no fixed size; on the basis of this principle, Sumeru and the like are refined into subtlety. One says: relying on the principle of consciousness-only, all phenomena are not apart from consciousness; transformed in accord with the mind, they also have no fixed marks; for this reason, Sumeru and the like are refined into subtlety. One says: in all phenomena, the principles of causes and conditions are all without fixed marks; through these causes and conditions, Sumeru and the like are refined into subtlety.
