ਗਿਆਨ ਅਤੇ ਨੇਕੀ, ਅਠ ਹਿਸਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਪੰਜਵਾਂ ਭਾਗ

I knew the word “Shabda” means inner (Heavenly) Sound, so I knew that Xuanzang practiced the Quan Yin Method. Otherwise, if someone read those sutras and didn’t understand the meaning of the word “Shabda,” then he would think Xuanzang only brought back the Diamond Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Avataṃsaka Sutra, such and such sutras, and that’s all. So they listed out all the sutras and left them there. “Ah, so many sutras, I can’t know them all.” And that’s it, finished. That’s why they didn’t know what Xuanzang attained when he went to [India]. So 17 years effort like that was worth it, worthy for Xuanzang. But now, we can get it all right with about 17 hours of travelling. Some people are nearby; it took them only 17 minutes to arrive. (Yes.) But some people who live only about 7 minutes from here, can’t get it. […]

And the many thousand chicken(-people) over there, they know nothing. Once in a while, a chicken(-person) escaped to here to find the Master, but was captured back again. It is difficult if you’re a chicken(-person). But it is also suffering to be a human. Being a human but ignorant, you also get nothing. It is the same when you are looking for a Master, I say East and they look to the West; I say South, they understand as North, so it is all wrong. […]

There are some more jokes, I can tell you. […]
