華嚴法界玄鏡 2.10

2.10

The Contemplation states: Next, regarding the four phrases on phenomena: (1) When a single phenomenon completely encompasses principle, it does not obstruct all phenomenal events from also completely encompassing it; therefore being within is identical to being without. (2) When all phenomenal events each encompass principle, it does not obstruct a single dust particle from also completely encompassing it; therefore being without is identical to being within. (3) Because all phenomenal events simultaneously and individually encompass it, it is therefore completely within and also completely without, without any hindrance or obstruction. (4) Because all phenomenal events are each not destroyed, viewed from one to another, they are neither within nor without. Contemplate this.
