When Grasp Yaksan was studying a sutra, considered one of his college students stated to him, “Why do you learn the sutras your self while telling individuals to not learn the sutras?” The grasp answered, “I’m simply masking my eyes.” The scholar requested, “Might I exploit the sutras simply as you do?” The grasp stated, “It’s best to see via even a cow’s disguise.”
Pupil: “What did the grasp imply by ‘see via even a cow’s disguise’?”
Grasp: “If there occurs to be even a single factor you may’t see via, you may’t learn the sutras.”
Commentary:
Studying the sutras is scuffling with black ink and white paper if one can’t see via them from cowl to cowl with out touching them.
