華嚴經探玄記 1.110

1.110

十此圓教法理無孤起，必眷屬隨生。下云「此華有世界海塵數蓮華以為眷屬。」又如一方為主十方為伴，餘方亦爾。是故主主伴伴各不相見，主伴伴主圓明具德。如一事華帶自十義，具此十門即為一百門，餘教義等亦各准之，故成千門。如教義等，望自類十義及同時等十門有此千門，彼同時等亦望自類十門及教義等亦成千門，準思可見。

Tenth, according to the principle of this complete teaching, no phenomenon arises in isolation; its retinue necessarily arises along with it. As it says below: "This flower has as its retinue lotus flowers as numerous as the dust-motes in an ocean of worlds." Moreover, it is like one direction serving as host and the ten directions serving as retinue; the other directions are also like this. Therefore, host and host, retinue and retinue do not behold one another; host and retinue, retinue and host are perfectly clear and complete in virtue. As one phenomenal flower carries its own ten meanings, possessing these ten gates makes one hundred gates; the other [pairs such as] teaching and meaning are each also judged accordingly, thus forming one thousand gates. Just as teaching and meaning and the rest, viewed against their own class of ten meanings and the ten gates such as simultaneity, have these one thousand gates, so too those [ten gates such as] simultaneity, viewed against their own class of ten gates and teaching and meaning and the rest, also form one thousand gates. One can understand this by thinking it through.
