1.28

Tenth, "the origin gathering the branches" means that, as in the Padmagarbha realm where non-kalpas are taken as kalpas and kalpas are non-kalpas, thought-moments and so forth are also like this, because time has neither length nor brevity, being free from demarcations, and because those kalpas are spoken of in terms of defiled divisions of time. Since time has no separate essence and is established upon phenomena (dharma), phenomena having fused and penetrated, time follows suit. In these immeasurable times and kalpas, the Avataṃsaka is constantly expounded, without any rest from the beginning.
