華嚴發菩提心章 1.101

1.101

六、事能隱理門，謂真理隨緣，成諸事法；然此事法既違於理，遂令事顯，理不現也。如水成波，動顯靜隱。《經》云：「法身流轉五道名曰眾生。故眾生現時法身不現也。」

Sixth is the gate of phenomena hiding principle, which means that the true principle accords with conditions to form phenomenal entities; but since these phenomenal entities run contrary to principle, phenomena are manifested while principle does not appear. It is like water forming waves: movement is manifested while calmness is hidden. The sūtra says: 'The dharmakāya, cycling through the five destinies, is called a sentient being.' Therefore, when sentient beings appear, the dharmakāya does not appear.
