1.349

謂事與理非一(故陿),即非異故(故廣),不壞一塵而能廣容十方剎海;由非異即非一故,廣容十方法界而微塵不大。是則一塵之事即廣即陿、即大即小,無障無礙。

This means that phenomena and principle are not identical (hence narrow), and because they are immediately not different [from principle] (hence vast), without destroying a single speck of dust it can vastly contain the ocean of kṣetras of the ten directions. Because non-difference is immediately non-identity, it vastly contains the dharmadhātu of the ten directions without the fine speck of dust becoming large. Thus the phenomenon of a single speck of dust is immediately vast and immediately narrow, immediately large and immediately small, unobstructed and unhindered.
