Chapter 1167 : Senior Brother Takes His Position

• "The meaning behind these two sentences may seem similar, but they are worlds apart. Shenxiu's interpretation of Buddhism is more tangible and visible, while Huineng's interpretation is more like a rebuttal to his senior brother. He believes that neither the Bodhi tree nor the mirror stand actually exist, so how can they be tainted by dust?"
• "Emptiness and existence, both have their own reasoning. It's like when you say that Chen Zhen's attachment to worldly cause and effect has disrupted his Daoist heart, but then you Daoists also say that you should follow your true nature and protect your true self. If your thoughts and actions don't align with your true nature, then how can you follow it?"
• "In my opinion, the essence of the Dao and its interpretation lie within one's heart. What is the Dao? It is the law of development for all things, the cause and effect that determines what is sown and what is reaped. Over time, it becomes the cycle of cause and effect." Lin Qiang said.
