Meaning: "True principle" is the unchanging principle of the fifth gate. "Being phenomena" refers to phenomena conforming to conditions of the third gate.

This is the true encompassing the false extremity; though empty, it is not annihilation. The Contemplation says: "Therefore, as for this principle, only when its entire substance is phenomena is it true principle. Just as water is identical to waves, there is no motion that is not moisture. Hence, water is identical to waves." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1885.2.120) - [Next: 2.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1885.2.122) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1885.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1885~en-mt.2.121) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (5) - [大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.10.26) — Classical Chinese - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12.17) — Classical Chinese - [註華嚴法界觀門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.274) — Classical Chinese - [華嚴發菩提心章](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.102) — Classical Chinese - [華嚴法界玄鏡](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.20) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1885.2.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1885.2.121) · Pramāṇa
