華嚴一乘教義分齊章 4.52

4.52

八者、十世隔法異成門。此上諸雜義遍十世中，同時別異，具足顯現，以時與法不相離故。言十世者，過去、未來、現在三世，各有過去、未來及現在，即為九世也。然此九世迭相即入，故成一總句，總別合成十世也。此十世具足別異，同時顯現，成緣起故，得即入也。故此經云「或以長劫入短劫、短劫入長劫，或百千大劫為一念、一念即百千大劫，或過去劫入未來劫、未來劫入過去劫。」如是自在，時劫無礙，相即相入，渾融成矣。又此經云「於一微塵中，普現三世一切佛剎。」又云「於一微塵中，普現三世一切眾生。」又云「於一微塵中，普現三世一切諸佛事。」又云「於一微塵中，建立三世一切佛轉法輪。」如是云云無量，廣如經文。此普攝上諸義門，悉於十世中自在現耳，宜可思之。

Eighth is the approach of different accomplishments across the separated phenomena of the ten times. The above diverse meanings pervade the ten times, being distinctly different yet simultaneously and completely manifest, because time and phenomena are inseparable. Speaking of the 'ten times': each of the three times of past, future, and present has a past, future, and present, which makes nine times. However, these nine times mutually identify and interpenetrate, thereby forming one comprehensive phrase; the comprehensive and the particular combine to make ten times. These ten times are completely distinct yet simultaneously manifest, and because they constitute dependent origination, they achieve mutual identity and interpenetration. Therefore, this sūtra says: 'Either entering a short kalpa with a long kalpa, or entering a long kalpa with a short kalpa; either taking hundreds of thousands of great kalpas as one thought-moment, or one thought-moment being hundreds of thousands of great kalpas; either entering a future kalpa with a past kalpa, or entering a past kalpa with a future kalpa.' Such sovereignty, unobstructed by times and kalpas, mutually identical and mutually interpenetrating, is seamlessly fused and accomplished. Moreover, this sūtra says: 'Within a single dust mote, all buddha lands of the three times are universally manifested.' It also says: 'Within a single dust mote, all sentient beings of the three times are universally manifested.' It also says: 'Within a single dust mote, all buddha activities of the three times are universally manifested.' It also says: 'Within a single dust mote, the turning of the wheel of Dharma by all buddhas of the three times is established.' Such statements are immeasurable, as expounded at length in the sūtra. This universally gathers all the above approaches of meaning, all of which manifest with sovereignty within the ten times. One should reflect on this.
