3.57

First, it is treated in terms of birth and death being deep and vast like an ocean; second, it is treated in terms of dharmatā being deep and vast like an ocean. "Deluded thoughts agitating dharmatā": deluded thoughts are like the black wind. Agitating dharmatā means that the entirety of dharmatā becomes ignorance, and being defiled without defilement, it universally produces birth and death; this is called the waves.
