Chapter 169: Taoist Priest, Please Come On Stage.

The Buddha said, "Today, in my teachings, I start with suffering as the cause, with emptiness as the essence, and with non-action as the application; if one can do so, only then can one be called liberated."

The Buddha said, "All the dharma I speak of today arises from the mind; if the mind is untainted, then all conditions appear before it; if the mind is tainted, then it gives rise to all conditions, like scooping the moon from the water, like pouring oil on fire."

The Buddha's disciple Shen Hui, his tongue blossoming like a lotus, expounded the dharma on the high platform. His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of every attendee, displaying his extraordinary cultivation.

For a time, many of the faithful below the platform listened in rapt fascination, while a portion of the cultivators in front frowned deeply, all of whom were from the Daoist lineage, present to challenge the Buddha's disciple.
