"In one single mote of dust
Are completely seen all worlds.
If living beings should hear about them,
Their minds would be confused and go insane.
Are completely seen all worlds.
If living beings should hear about them,
Their minds would be confused and go insane.
As within a single mote of dust,
So, too, it is in every mote of dust.
All world-systems enter within them.
It is in that way inconceivable.
In every particle of dust
Are Dharmas of the ten directions and three times.
The destinies and kshetras are all limitless,
Yet can be known with all their differences.
In every particle of dust
Are limitless kinds of Buddha kshetras.
Of their various kinds, all limitless,
Not a single one remains unknown.
Everything within the Dharma realm,
With all the varying characteristics
And types of destinies, each having differences,
Can all be discerned and known."
Can all be discerned and known."
- Indra's Net / Avatamsaka Sutra
(late third or the fourth century CE)
