1.184

三災者，火、水、風也。三災雖酷，安能焦爛於虛空？劫海縱遙，何以遷淪於實行？彌淪者，清涼云：「周遍包羅之義。謂三災雖壞一切，不能壞於因行，亦以契真故也。」

The "three disasters" are fire, water, and wind. Although the three disasters are ferocious, how could they scorch and ruin empty space? Even though the ocean of kalpas is vast, how could it shift and submerge real practice? As for "engulf" (milun), Qingliang says: "It carries the meaning of being universally pervasive and encompassing. It means that although the three disasters destroy everything, they cannot destroy causal practices, also because these tally with reality."
