華嚴法界玄鏡 2.38

2.38

The Contemplation states: Third is the gate of the non-obstruction of phenomena containing principle and phenomena: all phenomenal dharmas are not identical with principle, so while preserving its original single phenomenon, it can broadly contain [others]. For example, a single fine dust particle is not large in its characteristic, yet it can contain and integrate the boundless dharmadhātu. Since lands and other dharmas are not separate from the dharmadhātu, they all manifest together within a single dust particle. As with a single dust particle, so it is with all dharmas. Because these phenomena and principle are mutually resonant and unobstructed, neither identical nor different, there are four propositions in total: 1. one within one; 2. one within all; 3. all within one; 4. all within all. Each has its reason; contemplate this.
