華嚴經義海百門 1.2

1.2

夫緣起難思，諒遍通於一切；法界叵測，誠顯現於十方。莫不性海沖融，應人機而表一；智光赫奕，耀世間以通三。殊勝微言，輕毫彰於圓教；奇特聖眾，纖埃現以全身。逈超情慮之端，透出名言之表。竊見玄綱浩澣，妙旨希夷，覽之者詎究其源、學之者罕窮其際，由是微言滯於心首，恒為緣慮之場；實際居於目前，翻為名相之境。今者統收玄奧，囊括大宗，出經卷於塵中，轉法輪於毛處，明者德隆於即日、昧者望絕於多生，得其意則山岳易移、乖其旨則錙銖難入，輒於一塵之上顯其實德，窮茲性海。覽彼行林，總舉十門，別開百義，參而不雜，一際皎然。義煥爛於篇題，理昭彰於文字，庶入道之士，粗觀其致焉。所列名目，條之如左：

Pratītyasamutpāda is hard to conceive; surely it pervades and penetrates everything. The dharmadhātu is unfathomable; truly it manifests in the ten directions. In all cases, the ocean of nature is placid and merged, manifesting the One in response to human capacities; the light of wisdom shines brilliantly, illuminating the world to penetrate the three [vehicles]. With sublime, subtle words, a slight tip of a hair manifests the complete teaching; with an extraordinary assembly of noble ones, a tiny mote of dust displays their entire bodies. It transcends far beyond the bounds of emotional deliberation and breaks out past names and words. I have observed in secret that the mysterious guidelines are vast and expansive, and the wondrous purport is subtle and imperceptible. Those who view it seldom fathom its source; those who study it rarely exhaust its limits. Because of this, subtle words are blocked in the mind, perpetually acting as a field for conceptual conditions; the reality-limit resides right before one's eyes, but is turned into a realm of names and marks. Now, by gathering the mysterious subtleties and encompassing the great school, the sūtra scroll emerges from within a dust mote and the wheel of the Dharma is turned upon the tip of a hair. Those who understand will have their virtue exalted this very day; those who are deluded will have their hopes cut off for many lifetimes. If one grasps its meaning, mountains and peaks can easily be moved; if one departs from its purport, even a slight fraction is hard to penetrate. Thereupon, upon a single dust mote, I manifest its actual virtues and exhaust this ocean of nature. Viewing that forest of practices, I broadly present ten gates and distinctly open one hundred meanings; mingled without confusion, they are luminous as a single realm. The meanings shine brilliantly in the chapter titles, and the principle is manifestly clear in the words, so that practitioners who enter the path may roughly observe their drift. The names and items listed are arranged below:
