九、明卷舒者,謂塵無性,舉體全遍十方,是舒;十方無體,隨緣全現塵中,是卷。經云「以一佛土滿十方,十方入一亦無餘。」今卷則一切事於一塵中現,若舒則一塵遍一切處。即舒常卷,一塵攝一切故;即卷常舒,一切攝一塵故。是為卷舒自在也。

Ninth, clarifying contracting and expanding: the dust mote has no intrinsic nature, and its entire essence fully pervades the ten directions, which is expanding; the ten directions have no intrinsic essence, and according to conditions they fully appear within the dust mote, which is contracting. The sūtra says: 'Filling the ten directions with a single buddha-land, / The ten directions entering into the one also leave no remainder.' Now, in contracting, all phenomena appear within a single dust mote; in expanding, a single dust mote pervades all places. Expanding is constantly contracting, because a single dust mote gathers all; contracting is constantly expanding, because all gathers a single dust mote. This is the ease of contracting and expanding.
