楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 1.487

1.487

心體如海，八識如水流注，七識如暴流，六識如波浪，今依八識流動，得有眼等轉識浪生。如眼識，餘五根，至於一微塵、一毛孔皆與識俱生，無不覺知。隨次境界生亦如是者，言外塵境界亦與識漸次而生，萬法唯識見於是矣。然識之所生有頓有漸，如明鏡現眾色像者，喻頓生也；如猛風吹大海水者，喻漸生也。鏡之現像無有前後，風吹海水則前波起而後波隨也。

The essence of mind is like the ocean, the eight consciousnesses are like flowing water, the seventh consciousness is like a torrent, and the six consciousnesses are like waves. Now, depending on the flowing movement of the eighth consciousness, waves of the revolving consciousnesses such as the eye-[consciousness] can arise. As with the eye-consciousness, the remaining five sense faculties, down to a single atom or a single hair-pore, all arise together with consciousness, leaving nothing unperceived. That 'their arising according to their respective realms is also like this' means that external realms of dust also arise gradually together with consciousness; that the myriad dharmas are consciousness-only is seen from this. However, the arising of consciousness has both sudden and gradual [aspects]: 'like a bright mirror manifesting images of various colors' illustrates sudden arising; 'just as a fierce wind blows upon the water of the great ocean' illustrates gradual arising. A mirror's manifestation of images has no before or after, whereas when the wind blows upon ocean water, the preceding wave rises and the succeeding wave follows.
