When a monastic requested Majo, “What Dharma do all of the Buddhas discuss?” he answered, “All of the Buddhas discuss just one Dharma. Thus, the Buddha transmitted it to Mahakasyapa with a touch. This Dharma is filling the entire universe. It can’t be understood by language and phrases.”
Pupil: “What’s one Dharma?”
Grasp: “Shall I transmit it to you by hinting?”
Pupil: “Sure please.”
Grasp: “That’s it. Take it rapidly.”
Commentary:
What will be given and brought will not be one Dharma.
