Second, the ten items in the explanation: First, the number contained within the ocean is identical: thus, exhausting the dust motes of the ocean, one dust mote containing one land is already the meaning of containment. Second, the Buddhas' manifestation of mighty power is identical. Third, the bodhimaṇḍas are identical, because their true nature is identical. Fourth, the assemblies are identical, because they constantly accompany the multitude. Fifth, the lights; sixth, the names; seventh, the sounds; eighth, the expedients of the Dharma-wheel: the above seven are all based on not moving from the one yet being universally non-different. Ninth, dust motes containing oceans of lands; tenth, dust motes accommodating the Buddha-realm: these two are based on not destroying marks yet being broadly accommodating and non-different. Among the verses are ten gāthās, which versify the above ten meanings in sequence, except that the sixth concerns the body, differing in name and essence from the preceding. And while the former merely pertained to level and boundless non-difference, the present reveals the meaning of layered interpenetration and non-difference within dust motes. If one says this is in terms of shared phenomena, why does it not speak of sharing defilement and sharing karmic suffering? Could there be none of this within the ocean of worlds?
