prajparagen2.pdfThe Diamond Sutra6926 viewsThis sutra says, One should produce a heart without dwelling anywhere. The Sixth Patriarch, the Great Master Hui, heard that sentence and awakened to the Way. Any dwelling of the heart is no dwelling.

That is why every one of the Great Prajna assemblies begins with an explanation of not dwelling. (13 votes)
