Here, phenomena are not separate phenomena, but the entirety of principle is phenomena; therefore, although the bodhisattva looks upon phenomena, this is contemplation of principle, yet one says that these phenomena are not identical to principle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.107](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.107) - [Next: 1.109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.109) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878~en-mt.1.108) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [註華嚴法界觀門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.324) — Classical Chinese - [華嚴法界玄鏡](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.34) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.108) · Pramāṇa
