六、示隱顯者,若觀塵相不可得時,即相盡而空現。由見相時不即於理,是故事顯而理隱。又此塵與諸法互相資相攝,存亡不同。若塵能攝彼,即彼隱而此顯;若彼能攝塵,即塵隱而彼顯。隱顯一際,今但顯時,已成隱也。何以故?由顯時全隱而成顯,隱時全顯而成隱,相由成立。是故隱時正顯,顯時正隱也。

Sixth, showing concealment and manifestation: When one contemplates that the mark of a dust mote cannot be grasped, marks are exhausted and emptiness appears. Because seeing marks does not mean being identical with principle, phenomena are manifest and principle is concealed. Furthermore, this dust mote and all phenomena mutually support and mutually encompass each other, differing in their persistence and cessation. If the dust mote can encompass the other, then the other is concealed and this is manifest; if the other can encompass the dust mote, then the dust mote is concealed and the other is manifest. Concealment and manifestation are a single realm: now, precisely when manifest, it has already accomplished concealment. Why is this? Because when manifest, it entirely conceals to accomplish manifestation; when concealed, it entirely manifests to accomplish concealment, being established through mutual dependence. Therefore, the time of concealment is precisely manifestation, and the time of manifestation is precisely concealment.
