華嚴經旨歸 1.54

1.54

Tenth, the assembly revealing the Dharma: such as the five hundred śrāvakas including Śāriputra, Subhūti, and others, who are in this Dharma assembly as if deaf; relying on this to conversely display the One Vehicle dharmadhātu, it is because of them that the profound vastness of this Dharma is made evident, just as black is used to bring out white. This assembly has no general concluding connection, because it is specific and not universal, and serves as a contradictory cause. Taking the previous ten categories as the vessel and pattern, they imprint the Buddha's dharmadhātu to form the inexhaustible ocean of Dharma gates.
