華嚴經 品五 華藏世界品 · 所持剎網差別二Avataṃsaka Sūtra · The Flower-Treasury World · The Differentiated Net of Lands It Sustains, Part Two

One hundred and ninety-four house-numbers, one hundred and ninety-four buddhas.

This fascicle reads like a household register. Ten fragrant-water oceans; on each ocean one cluster of worlds, ranged layer above layer; and of the layers set out in full, six things have to be given — how far it stands from the one below, what it is called, what it looks like, what it rests upon, what is spread over its head, how many worlds encircle it (the lowest layer of all states no distance, and says only “at the very lowest place”); of the layers set out briefly, only the name is left. And the last column every layer has — the name of its buddha.

If you find you cannot read on, it is most likely because you are trying to hold the names in mind. There is no need. This passage is not asking you to know who is who; it is asking you to see one thing: not one layer is empty. One hundred and ninety-four turnings of the page, one hundred and ninety-four times a buddha in the last column.

And there is something weightier still. For every cluster of worlds the sūtra marks a “substance” — and the substance of all ten clusters is sound: the roaring sound of bodhisattva practice, the sound and voice of the ocean of the merit of the buddhas, the sound and voice that proclaims the names of the tathāgatas, the sound and voice born of Samantabhadra’s wisdom. Not one of them is earth. It is not that a piece of ground is there first and the Buddha-dharma then happens upon it; the sound of the Buddha-dharma comes first, and the world stands up leaning upon it.

So those cells are not walls. The sūtra divided one hundred and ninety-four cells, and the buddha of the last cell is named “Unobstructed Light Everywhere Illumining the Dharma Realm” — divided to the very end, it comes to rest upon the word “unobstructed”.

The cells are there to be known by, not to divide with.

Sea One · The Fragrant-Water Ocean Treasury of Flames Free from Defilement: The World-Seed Universally Illumining Whirl of Lands

(At that time Samantabhadra Bodhisattva once again addressed the great assembly of the Dharma gathering, saying — the ten oceans that follow are all spoken straight through within this one utterance, and nowhere in the middle of the text does “at that time” begin again:)
