1.89

二、事遍於理門，謂能遍之事是有分限，所遍之理要無分限；此有分限之事，於無分限之理全同，非分同。何以故？以事無體，還如理故，是故一塵不壞而遍法界也。如一塵，一切法亦然。思之。此全遍門超情離見，非世喻能況。如全大海，在一波中而海非小；如一小波，匝於大海而波非大，同時全遍於諸波而海非異，俱時各匝於大海而波非一。又大海全遍一波時，不妨舉體全遍於諸波；一波全匝大海時，諸波亦各全匝互不相礙。思之。

2. The gate of phenomena pervading principle: This means that the phenomena that pervade have delimitations, while the principle that is pervaded must be without delimitations. These delimited phenomena are entirely identical with the undelimited principle, not partially identical. Why is this? Because phenomena lack intrinsic substance and are just like principle. Therefore, without being destroyed, a single speck of dust pervades the dharmadhātu. As it is with a single speck of dust, so it is with all dharmas. Contemplate this. This gate of complete pervasion transcends emotional habits and departs from conceptual views; no worldly analogy can fully illustrate it. It is like the entire great ocean being present in a single wave, yet the ocean is not small; like a single small wave encircling the great ocean, yet the wave is not large. Simultaneously completely pervading all waves, yet the ocean is not diverse; simultaneously each encircling the great ocean, yet the waves are not one. Furthermore, when the great ocean completely pervades a single wave, this does not prevent its entire substance from completely pervading all waves; when a single wave completely encircles the ocean, all waves also each completely encircle it without obstructing one another. Contemplate this.
