The venerable man Sheli Zi gathered in the lecture hall with the monks last night, because of the internal and external assembly, for the monks respectively, their righteousness is:" Zhuxian! There are actually two kinds of people in the world, the inner knot and the outer knot."The world has rejoiced, and only wishes the world to show mercy and sorrow to the monks. To the lecture hall. "At that time, the Blessed One silently consented for the Blessed One. The Blessed One knew that the Blessed One silently consented, looked at the Buddha's feet, circled three circles and disappeared there.

Shortly after the departure of the heavens, the Blessed One went to the monks in the lecture hall and sat down at their seats. The Blessed One sat down and sighed, "Good, good, pear-shedding! You are very good. So what? You gathered in the lecture hall last night with the Blessed One, because of the inner and outer knots, for the Blessed One. There are really two kinds of people in the world, the inner knot and the outer knot. My heart and heaven have attained my goal, but I live on one side. I say, "Buddha! The venerable pear was gathered in the lecture hall last night with all the monks. Because of the inner and outer knots, they have different meanings for the monks:"There are two kinds of people in the world, the inner knot and the outer knot."Buddha! All of you are glad. May the world show mercy and sorrow and go to the lecture hall." So I am silent for the other heavens. And Xu. Heaven knows that I silently permit, inspect my feet, around three turns, that is, there is No.

Sherry! All kinds of minds or ten, twenty, or thirty, forty, or fifty, sixty, live together at the cone head, it does not matter. Sherry! All kinds of minds are not born in the same place, but cultivate kindness, so that all kinds of minds or ten, twenty, or thirty, forty, or fifty, sixty, live together at the cone head, it does not matter. Sherry! When all kinds of minds are human beings, they have improved. Heart is very wide and very big. For some reason, it does not matter that all minds and heavens live together in the cone. It is intentional to give up pears! When learning is silent, the roots are silent, the mind is silent, the body, the mouth and the mind are silent, they are inclined to the worship of the world and all wisdom. Sheer pear! Hypocritical heterodoxy, long decline. So what is it that you should not hear so wonderful? Law.

The Buddha said so. The Bhikkhu heard what the Buddha said and practiced it with joy.
