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. - [Previous: 12.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.12.15) - [Next: 12.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.12.17) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.12) ## Linked texts (1) - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.12.16) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.12.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.12.16) · Pramāṇa
