He relied upon Chengjue to study and thoroughly comprehend his purport. Being well-read and with a formidable memory, he was uniquely preeminent in his day. Once, when lecturing on the \*Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra\*, he ascended the seat and folded his hands aloft, silently recalling the primary text without missing a single section. He comprehensively expounded the wondrous Dharma and broadly spread the doctrinal classifications; phenomena and principle, provisional and real, were all brilliantly elucidated. He once said to new students: 'People suffer from a lack of learning. If one deeply passes through years and months thoroughly perusing the scriptures and canonical records, naturally one will find sources at every turn and fully comprehend the ancestral intentions, without being blocked or deluded by a single text or a single meaning; only then can one engage in the practice of lecturing and expounding.' Those who heard this were transformed in their minds. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 16.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.16.54) - [Next: 16.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.16.56) - [Up: 16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.16) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.16.55) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.16.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.16.55) · Pramāṇa
