If there is principle outside the dust speck, then it is not the entire substance that pervades a single dust speck. If there is no principle outside the dust speck, then it does not completely pervade all phenomena. The meaning is very much in conflict. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12.15) - [Next: 12.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12.17) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.12.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [註華嚴法界觀門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1884.1.210) — Classical Chinese - [華嚴發菩提心章](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.94) — Classical Chinese - [華嚴法界玄鏡](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.2.4) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12.16) · Pramāṇa
