八、明自心現者,如見此塵時是自心現也。今塵既由心現,即還與自心為緣,終無心外法而能為心緣,以非外故,即以塵為自心現也。離心之外更無一法,縱見內外,但是自心所現,無別內外,此無過也。
Eighth, elucidating manifestation from one's own mind: When one sees this dust mote, it is the manifestation of one's own mind. Now, since the dust mote is manifested by the mind, it turns around and serves as a condition for one's own mind. In the end, there is no phenomenon external to the mind that can serve as a condition for the mind. Because it is not external, the dust mote is taken as the manifestation of one's own mind. Apart from the mind, there is not a single further phenomenon. Even if one sees internal and external, they are merely what one's own mind manifests, with no distinct internal or external. In this there is no fault.
