華嚴經探玄記 13.30

13.30

First, regarding non-separation: the preceding is able to give rise to the subsequent, and apart from the subsequent there is no preceding; the subsequent arises depending on the preceding, and apart from the preceding there is no subsequent. Because they are not separated, each lacks own-nature (svabhāva); and dependent origination without own-nature appears like an illusion before one. This constitutes direct contemplation and reverse completion into an equanimous contemplation of the single true principle. The sūtra text can be understood.
