華嚴經探玄記 3.39

3.39

Seventh, as for the times of the turning: in the Hinayāna and the Three Vehicles, it is either two times seven days or three times seven days; again, it is either six times seven days, seven times seven days, or eight times seven days; or fifty-seven days, or one year, and so on. These are simply due to differences in what is seen and heard according to the faculties [of disciples] in the branch teachings; nor is there any mutual containment of earlier and later, and the like. The fundamental teaching of the One Vehicle essentially takes place at the initial time, during the second seven days, with no other differing explanation. Moreover, it subsumes the infinitely many kalpas before and after in each single thought-moment without interruption, and within each and every thought-moment it likewise subsumes the kalpas of those earlier and later bounds. Like Indra's net, multiplying boundlessly, it is what is turned in nine times and ten times.
