華嚴法界玄鏡 1.58

1.58

The contemplation states: Question: Since principle completely in its entirety pervades a single dust particle, why is it not small? Since it is not small like the dust particle, how can it be said to completely in its entirety pervade a single dust particle? Furthermore, a single dust particle completely encompasses the nature of principle, so why is it not large? If it is not broad and large like principle, how can it completely pervade the nature of principle? This becomes a contradiction, and the meanings are utterly incompatible.
