答。是有情不思議業力所感。令受罪眾生。自見有如是事。如成劫風。雖是無情。亦能成劫。似磁毛石。豈有識想。令鐵轉移。設使眾生輪迴六趣。善惡昇沈。實無主宰。人法俱空。所以先德云。往復無際。動靜一原。含眾妙而有餘。超言思而逈出者。其唯法界乎。故知若入一際法界之中。有何差別。能所冥合。境智同如。豈可更有一法為動為靜。隨業識之轉乎。若未入法界。不悟此宗。但有一法當情。皆是自之業識。離識之外。決定無法。

> Answer: It is evoked by the inconceivable karmic power of sentient beings, causing the suffering sentient beings to see such things themselves. It is like the wind of the kalpa of formation: although insentient, it can also form a kalpa. It is like a lodestone: how could it have consciousness or thoughts, yet it moves iron? Even though sentient beings transmigrate in the six destinies, ascending and descending through good and evil, there is truly no controlling agent; persons and dharmas are both empty. Therefore a past virtuous master said: ‘Cycling without bounds, movement and stillness have a single source; containing the myriad wonders with surplus, transcending words and thoughts to emerge far beyond—is it not solely the dharmadhātu?’ Thus we know that if one enters within the dharmadhātu of a single limit, what distinction could there be? Subject and object secretly merge; object and wisdom are identical in suchness. How could there be any further dharma that acts as movement or stillness, transforming in accordance with karmic consciousness? If one has not entered the dharmadhātu and has not awakened to this source, whenever a single dharma confronts the mind, it is all one's own karmic consciousness; apart from consciousness, there is definitively no dharma.
