華嚴發菩提心章 1.96

1.96

'First, regarding the four propositions on principle: 1. When the entire substance of the nature of principle is within all phenomena, it does not obstruct its entire substance being at the locus of a single speck of dust; therefore, being outside is being inside. 2. When its entire substance is within a single speck of dust, it does not obstruct its entire substance being at the loci of other phenomena; therefore, being inside is being outside. 3. Because the non-dual nature is each completely within all, it is both inside and outside. 4. Because the non-dual nature is not all, it is neither inside nor outside. The first three propositions clarify that it is not different from all dharmas; this single proposition clarifies that it is not one with all dharmas. Truly because it is neither one nor different, inside and outside are unobstructed.
