However, this dust mote and that mountain contain one another in their largeness and smallness, revolving according to the mind without arising or perishing. Moreover, when one sees the high and vast, it is one's own mind appearing as large, not that there is a separate largeness; now when one sees the dust mote round and small, it is also one's own mind appearing as small, not that there is a separate smallness. Now, because one sees the dust mote entirely by means of the mind that sees the mountain's height and vastness, the dust mote appears; therefore, the small accommodates the large. The sūtra says: 'Immeasurable vajra iron surrounding mountains / Can all be placed on a single hair-tip; / Desiring to show that the utmost great has the small characteristic, / The bodhisattva therefore first generates the mind \[of bodhi\].' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.50) - [Next: 1.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.52) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875~en-mt.1.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.51) · Pramāṇa
