新譯華嚴經七處九會頌釋章 1.26

1.26

Question: If the place where Rocana Buddha preached the Avataṃsaka pervades the dharmadhātu, when the ten abodes were preached in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven, were the ten abodes also preached in places such as Yāma or not? If they were not preached there, then the preaching was not pervasive; if they were also preached there, why does the sūtra only say that the abodes were preached in Trāyastriṃśa, the practices were preached in Yāma, and so forth? Answer: Since this Trāyastriṃśa heaven where the ten abodes were preached pervades all dust-mote paths of the ten directions, Trāyastriṃśa is present in places such as Yāma; and it is precisely in such a Trāyastriṃśa heaven that pervades Yāma and so forth that the Dharma of the ten abodes was preached. Therefore, Trāyastriṃśa is universally present everywhere, yet it is still not Yāma; and the preaching of the ten practices and so forth in places such as Yāma also pervades places such as Trāyastriṃśa, yet it is still not Trāyastriṃśa. One should understand the rest accordingly.
