1.64

法記云：一微塵者，初教云極微塵，熟教云空隣塵，一乘云總相塵。此總相塵者，須小即小、須大即大，故一塵中頓現十方也。問：下教有方分之塵者與一乘塵何別？答：一乘塵須方分即有方分、須無方分即無方分，隨須自在故別也。問：無方分之塵非更碎耶？答：亦須碎盡。何者？若其情謂所計之無方分，則要須用六相分析也。

Fa's Record says: Regarding "a single dust mote," the initial teaching calls it the atomic dust mote [paramāṇu], the advanced teaching calls it the dust mote bordering on space, and the One Vehicle calls it the dust mote of universal characteristics. This dust mote of universal characteristics, if required to be small, is small; if required to be large, is large; therefore, within a single dust mote, the ten directions suddenly manifest. Question: How does the dust mote with spatial divisions in the lower teachings differ from the dust mote of the One Vehicle? Answer: If the dust mote of the One Vehicle is required to have spatial divisions, it has spatial divisions; if it is required to have no spatial divisions, it has no spatial divisions; because it is unhindered according to need, it is different. Question: Should a dust mote without spatial divisions not be broken down further? Answer: It must also be completely broken down. Why? If it is a lack of spatial divisions conceived by sentient clinging, then it definitely must be analyzed using the six characteristics.
