One time the Master said, "If you would experience that which transcends even the Buddha, you must first be capable of a bit of conversation."

At times, the Master said, “Only when you comprehend the matter beyond the Buddha can you have a share in words and speech.”

The master once said: "only after understanding the matter beyond Buddha, one can discourse."

Dongshan says "conversation", he doesn't say "...and conversation requires".

Lots of people who don't want to have a conversation posting/commenting about conversation being required.

Why do people want to be in a conversation club, but not have any conversation?

#You can be on the podcast! Use a pseudonym! Nobody cares!

Add a comment if there is a post you want somebody to get interviewed about, or you agree to be interviewed. We are now using libsyn, so you don't even have to show your face. You just get a link to an audio call.
