 The third discernment in Discernment of the Dharmadhatu is “total pervasion and accommodation.” This discernment concerns the nature of and relations among individual shi. Dushun observes that each shi is nothing other than li and yet, in its individuality, distinct from li; that each shi includes, and is included within, all other shi; that this mutual inclusivity makes each shi somehow omnipresent, albeit in ways that preserve differences among shi; that each shi contains, and is contained by, all other shi; that this mutual containment, while preserving differences among shi, is fractal, such that even the smallest mote of dust contains the entirety of everything else, which in turn contains the same mote of dust containing everything else, on and on ad infinitum; and that mutual inclusion and containment is simultaneous and, somehow, a matter of perspective. These claims are, somehow, consequences of the mutual pervasion of li and shi. It remains for subsequent contributors to the Huayan School to explain and elaborate upon Dushun’s final discernment.
