The gate of phenomena being able to manifest principle: this means that because phenomena take up principle, phenomena are illusory and principle is real. Because phenomena are illusory, the principle entirely within phenomena stands forth and is revealed, just as because the characteristics of a wave are illusory, they cause the essence of the water to be revealed. One should know that the principle in this is also like this.
