Ascending the hall, he cited: "The scriptures say: 'Even if the entire world were full of those like Śāriputra, exercising their utmost thought to calculate together, they still could not know it.' Usually patch-robed monks make a high bow to Śākyamuni and do not prostrate to Maitreya—do they understand the Buddha's wisdom, or do they not understand the Buddha's wisdom? Among the assembly there are some who do, but they merely hide their teeth and conceal their claws. Taiping has a insight; not sparing his eyebrows, he presents it to all of you: wait until someone asks, and he will answer as the words come."
