27.55

A monk entered the netherworld and saw Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva. Kṣitigarbha asked, "What practice did you cultivate in your lifetime?" The monk said, "Reciting the Lotus Sūtra." Kṣitigarbha said, "'Stop, stop! There is no need to speak, my Dharma is wonderful and hard to conceive.' Is this speaking, or is it not speaking?" The monk had no reply. (Guizong Rou gave the substitution: "Returning this time, I venture to ask to circulate it.")
