Even the greatest of Great practitioners read the sutras regularly. Does
anyone know the reason?
The reason is... that... during the time of reading the sutras, we are not
doing evil.
And teachers remind us that we must not read the Sutras and try to interpret
them through or via any "Zen" experience that we have had, during our practice.
Instead, we interpret and evaluate our EXPERIENCE through the light of the
Sutras. Big difference.
It's a way to keep ourselves safe. It seems simple, but in fact it is
incredibly momentous. It can save many, many lives.
