華嚴經義海百門 1.98

1.98

八、曉鏡像者，謂塵相大小，但似有顯現，畢竟取不可得，故知塵即虛無，如鏡中之像。經云「觀察諸法，如電光、如水月鏡中之像，似有非有，取不可得故。」以塵空寂，不礙假相宛然，於法界中假實二義但由影像也。

Eighth, "understanding reflections in a mirror": the large and small characteristics of a dust mote merely appear as if they exist, but ultimately cannot be apprehended; therefore, know that the dust mote is hollow and non-existent, like an image in a mirror. As a sūtra says: "Contemplate all phenomena as lightning, or as the moon in water and images in a mirror, seeming to exist yet not existing, because they cannot be apprehended." Because the dust mote is quiescently empty, it does not obstruct provisional marks being vivid; within the dharmadhātu, the two meanings of provisional and real are merely like reflections.
