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.
