A layman requested Grasp Namjun, “There’s a lump of rock in my home. It generally sits and generally lies. I’m going to sculpt Buddha out of it. Will it’s attainable?” Grasp Namjun answered, “Doable.” The layman requested once more, “Will it’s inconceivable?” Grasp answered, “Unimaginable.”
Pupil: “What did the grasp imply by ‘attainable’ and ‘inconceivable’?”
Grasp: “He confirmed the mannequin of the Buddha that the layman was going to sculpt.”
Commentary:
The longer it takes to sculpt the Buddha the farther you’re from sculpting Him.
