仁王經疏 3.118

3.118

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.
