華嚴法界玄鏡 2.34

2.34

觀曰：一、理如事門，謂事法既虛，相無不盡。理性真實，體無不現。是則事無別事，即全理為事。是故菩薩雖復看事，即是觀理，然說此事為不即理。

The Contemplation states: First is the gate of principle conforming to phenomena: because phenomenal dharmas are illusory, their characteristics are entirely exhausted; because the nature of principle is real, its essence is entirely manifest. This means that phenomena have no separate phenomena—principle in its entirety constitutes phenomena. Therefore, although bodhisattvas look upon phenomena, this is precisely contemplating principle; yet these phenomena are said not to be identical with principle.
