華嚴法界玄鏡 1.56

1.56

觀曰：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。

The contemplation states: Just as the entire great ocean is within a single wave, yet the ocean is not small; just as a single small wave encompasses the great ocean, yet the wave is not large. Simultaneously completely pervading all waves, yet the ocean is not multiple; concurrently each encompassing 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 essence from completely pervading all waves. When a single wave completely encompasses the great ocean, all waves also each completely encompass it. They do not mutually obstruct one another. Contemplate this.
