1.99

四、事能顯理門，謂由事攬理故，則事虛而理實，以事虛故，全事中之理挺然露現。猶如波相虛，令水體露現。當知此中道理亦爾。思之。

4. The gate of phenomena being able to manifest principle: This means that because phenomena gather principle, phenomena are empty and principle is real. Because phenomena are empty, the principle within the phenomena as a whole stands out and is clearly revealed. It is just as the wave-forms are empty, causing the water's substance to be revealed. It should be known that the principle here is also like this. Contemplate this.
