Master Buban, pointing to a chair, said to his disciples, “If you know the chair, it is more than enough to encompass the universe.” Later Master Woonmoon said, “If you know the chair, it is far apart as the heaven and earth.”
Student: “Why did Master Buban say, ‘If you know the chair, it is more than enough to encompass the universe’?”
Master: “He opened the gate to the Buddha land.”
Commentary:
Everything is a gate to the Buddha land.
