問。據其所說。則一塵之上。理無不顯。事無不融。文無不釋。義無不通。今時修學之徒。云何曉悟。達於塵處。頓決群疑。且於一塵之上。何者是染。云何名淨。何者名真。若為稱俗。何者名生死。何者是涅槃。云何名煩惱。云何是菩提。何者名小乘法。云何名大乘法。請垂開決。聞所未聞。

Question: According to what you have said, upon a single particle of dust, there is no principle that is not revealed, no phenomenon that is not harmonized, no text that is not interpreted, and no meaning that is not penetrated. How are students of practice in the present day to understand and awaken, reaching [the realization] that right upon a particle of dust all doubts are suddenly resolved? Moreover, upon a single particle of dust, what is defilement, and what is called purity? What is called the real, and what is termed the conventional? What is called saṃsāra, and what is nirvāṇa? What are called kleśas, and what is bodhi? What is called the Hīnayāna Dharma, and what is called the Mahāyāna Dharma? We request that you graciously resolve this for us, so that we may hear what we have never heard before.
