仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.171

3.171

Question: Mount Sumeru and the great ocean entering into a hair-pore or a mustard seed: large and small are in conflict; how can they enter? Answer: The masters of the western region briefly offer three explanations. The first says: All phenomena take suchness as their substance. Because the true suchness upon which they depend is free from all marks, the phenomena that depend on it have no determinate size; therefore, they can accommodate one another. The second says: According to the principle of consciousness-only, all phenomena are not apart from consciousness; manifesting according to the mind, they have no determinate marks; therefore, they can accommodate one another. The third says: All phenomena arise from causes and conditions; causes and conditions are like illusions; illusions have no determinate marks; therefore, they can accommodate one another.
