Because an official offered a feast and made a donation of pure wealth, requesting the Master to read through the Great Canon of Sūtras, the Master stepped down from his meditation seat and bowed to the official; the official bowed to the Master. The Master led the official around the meditation seat once, bowed to the official, and after a long pause said, "Do you understand?" The official said, "I do not understand." The Master said, "I have read through the Great Canon of Sūtras for you; why do you not understand?"
