華嚴一乘教義分齊章 1.71

1.71

初者，謂別教一乘，即佛初成道第二七日，在菩提樹下，猶如日出先照高山，於海印定中同時演說十十法門，主伴具足，圓通自在，該於九世十世，盡因陀羅微細境界。即於此時，一切因果理事等一切前後法門，乃至末代流通舍利見聞等事，並同時顯現。何以故？卷舒自在故。舒則該於九世，卷則在於一時。此卷即舒，舒又即卷。何以故？同一緣起故、無二相故。經本云「於一塵中，建立三世一切佛事」等。又云「於一念中，即八相成道，乃至涅槃流通舍利」等，廣如經說。是故依此普聞一切佛法，並於第二七日一時前後說、前後一時說。如世間印法，讀文則句義前後，印之則同時顯現，同時前後，理不相違。當知此中道理亦爾，準以思之。

The first refers to the distinct teaching of the One Vehicle: when the Buddha first attained enlightenment, during the second seven days under the Bodhi tree, just as the rising sun first illuminates the high mountains, within the ocean-seal samādhi he simultaneously expounded the tenfold-tenfold Dharma-gates, complete with master and companion, unimpeded and perfectly penetrating, encompassing nine times and ten times, exhausting the subtle realms of Indra. At that very time, all Dharma-gates of causes and effects, principles and phenomena, and all former and later events, down to the affairs of the later ages such as the circulation of relics, seeing and hearing, were all simultaneously manifested. Why is this? Because contracting and expanding are unimpeded. Expanding, it encompasses nine times; contracting, it resides in a single moment. This contracting is precisely expanding, and expanding is again precisely contracting. Why is this? Because they share the same dependent origination and lack dual characteristics. The sūtra text says: 'Within a single dust mote, establishing all the Buddha's works of the three times,' and so forth. It also says: 'Within a single thought, performing the eight phases of attaining enlightenment, down to nirvāṇa and the circulation of relics,' and so on, extensively as expounded in the sūtra. Therefore, based on this, all Buddha-dharmas universally heard were both expounded sequentially at one time, and expounded at one time sequentially, in the second seven days. Just as with the worldly method of printing: when reading the text, sentences and meanings are sequential, but when printed, it manifests simultaneously; being simultaneously sequential, the principles do not contradict one another. One should know that the principle here is also like this; consider it accordingly.
