might any savant here be so kind as to point towards any citations
for "world text" ? as i find referenced in wikipedia, as follows

"Two images are used to convey this idea (interpenetration). The first is
> known as Indra's net <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra%27s_net>. The net
> is set with jewels which have the extraordinary property that they reflect
> all of the other jewels. The second image is that of the world text. This
> image portrays the world as consisting of an enormous text which is as
> large as the universe itself. The words of the text are composed of the
> phenomena that make up the world. However, every atom of the world contains
> the whole text within it. It is the work of a Buddha to let out the text so
> that beings can be liberated from suffering."


thank you
