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.
