Grasp Woonmun mentioned, “It’s mentioned that enlightenment will be attained by listening to sounds and seeing issues. What’s it to realize enlightenment by listening to sounds and seeing issues?”
He, elevating his hand, mentioned, “Avalokiteshvara introduced cash and acquired a cake.”
He, decreasing his hand, mentioned, “It was actually a pudding!”
Scholar: “Why did Woonmun, elevating his hand, say, ‘Avalokiteshvara introduced cash and acquired a cake’?”
Grasp: “Why don’t you attain enlightenment despite seeing issues and listening to sounds.”
Commentary:
We’re surrounded by and coated with issues and sounds on a regular basis.
