5.36

[Seng]zhao says: The inception of manifesting illness occurs now. Emptying the room and removing the attendants gave rise to the opening for dialogue, the proof of which appears later. Leaving only a single couch was the occasion for borrowing seats. [Dao]sheng says: The assembly being large and the room small, even couches would be an impediment. Moreover, sitting, lying, walking, and standing originally accord with what suits the person's body; when needed they are provided, why must they be prepared in advance? Discarding them in this way—how could it be said not to invite guests? It was precisely because there were guests that he did so. Yet in reality, preparing them to await the need was to manifest spiritual power so as to demonstrate the efficacy of explaining the principle. Once that efficacy cannot be fathomed, it verifies that what is spoken is real.
