華嚴經義海百門 1.66

1.66

Fourth, clarifying the buddha-realm: the essence of the dust mote is ungraspable, and this ungraspability is the Buddha's attainment; the dust mote's characteristic has no boundary and nothing to rely upon, and this having nothing to rely upon is the Buddha's reliance. The dust mote's essence does not arise, and this non-arising is the Buddha's arising; the dust mote has no discrimination, which is the Buddha's discrimination. Because of having no attainment, no reliance, and no arising, it is able to establish all dharmas. Furthermore, the dust mote is fully seen, yet can no longer be seen, and even cannot be heard, all of which are the Buddha's seeing and hearing. The sūtra says: 'What is seen cannot be seen; what is heard cannot be heard.'
