The Dharma-realm is the totality of the interpenetrating web of existence. In each part of this whole, the whole is present, and in the whole, each part is a necessary ingredient. Just as any part of a three-dimensional holographic image of a thing contains the whole image, each part of the Dharma-realm, each item of existence, reflects and includes each and every other part; for all are inter-dependent. And yet each item of existence remains what it is, without obstruction from the other items - indeed it cannot be what it is without its relationship with them. Here is a holistic, organic vision of things, in which the entire universe of space and time is present in a particle of dust: 'Every living being and every minute thing is significant, since even the tiniest thing contains the whole mystery.'
