43.4

Question: The great import of the patriarchs and the buddhas values practice in citta; gathering meanings and following the letter only increases frivolous debate. Therefore Mañjuśrī reproached Ānanda, saying: “Using hearing to hold the buddhas’ teachings, / why not yourself hear your own hearing?” How does that compare to returning to the source in a single thought, deeply harmonizing with the bequeathed purport?
