Pervasion is an alternative designation for principle, because its characteristics have no boundaries. Since a single fine dust particle is, in its entire essence, completely within all dharmas, it is also indivisible like principle. In the text, it first presents the reason: because it is not different from principle, and because of the first gate where principle conforms to phenomena, this gate then attains phenomena entirely conforming to principle. Speaking of 'completely all-pervading': being without parts, it is complete; its essence being omnipresent, it is all-pervading. Next, from 'thereby causing…' onward, it specifically demonstrates the characteristics of pervasion, meaning pervasion throughout the dharmadhātu of principle. From 'When the entire essence of the dharmadhātu…' onward, it clarifies the universal pervasion of phenomena: because the dust particle conforms to principle, it pervades all phenomena. Next, from 'As with a single fine dust particle…' onward, it takes the fine dust particle as an example for all phenomena, which means that phenomenon and phenomenon are all all-pervading; this, then, is the layer upon layer of non-obstruction between phenomenon and phenomenon. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.36) - [Next: 2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.38) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883~en-mt.2.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.37) · Pramāṇa
