觀音玄義 1.63

1.63

Question: How do self and other each possess the ten dharma-realms? Answer: Contemplating the true mark of the body, one contemplates the Buddha likewise. The *Avataṃsaka* says: 'As is the mind, so is the Buddha; the mind, the Buddha, and sentient beings—these three are without difference.' How could they not each possess the object of the three truths? 'Sounds' are precisely the capacities of the vocal karma of the ten dharma-realms. Since the realms differ, the sounds are also diverse.
