Layman Pang mentioned, “Everybody has a Sutra. Nonetheless, there is no such thing as a one who can learn it as a result of it’s formless, anonymous and textless. When you’ve got ‘I’, that’s self, you possibly can neither learn nor take heed to it. When you occur to have the ability to learn it, you’ll turn out to be one with the precept of no delivery and no demise. Then, you don’t must comply with Bodhisattvas and don’t must attempt to turn out to be the Buddha.”

Pupil: “What’s the Sutra that everybody has?”

Grasp: “You can’t put it down even for a second.”

Commentary:

Search for it and it’s invisible while it’s with you.
