When a monastic requested Grasp Jangsa, “Does the unique man turn into the Buddha?” the grasp stated, “Inform me. Does an emperor sow seeds and harvest rice himself?” The monastic stated, “Nicely, who turns into the Buddha then?” The grasp stated, “You do.” The monastic didn’t reply, and the grasp requested him, “Do you perceive?” The monastic stated, “No, I don’t know.” The grasp stated, “The one who fell on the bottom has to rise up on his ft relying on the bottom, however the floor by no means says something to him.”
Pupil: “What did the grasp imply by ‘the one who fell on the bottom has to rise up on his ft relying on the bottom’?”
Grasp: “When winds transfer, they transfer relying on air.”
Commentary:
When the whole lot is empty, your not realizing can be empty.
