(2) When its entire essence is within a single dust particle, it does not obstruct its entire essence being at the locus of other phenomena, therefore being within is identical to being without. (3) Because the non-dual nature is each completely within all, it is therefore both within and without. (4) Because the non-dual nature is not all, it is therefore neither within nor without. The first three phrases clarify that it is not different from all phenomena; this single phrase clarifies that it is not identical to all phenomena. Precisely because it is neither identical nor different, inside and outside are unobstructed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.7) - [Next: 2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.9) - [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.2.8) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [註華嚴法界觀門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.230) — Classical Chinese - [華嚴發菩提心章](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.96) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.8) · Pramāṇa
