Grasp Woonmun stated, “It’s stated that enlightenment could be attained by means of listening to sounds and seeing issues. What’s it to realize enlightenment by means of listening to sounds and seeing issues?”
He, elevating his hand, stated, “Avalokiteshvara introduced cash and purchased a cake.”
He, decreasing his hand, stated, “It was actually a pudding!”
Pupil: “Why did Woonmun, elevating his hand, say, ‘Avalokiteshvara introduced cash and purchased a cake’?”
Grasp: “Why don’t you attain enlightenment despite seeing issues and listening to sounds.”
Commentary:
We’re surrounded by and lined with issues and sounds on a regular basis.
