A king of Eastern India invited the twenty-seventh patriarch, Prajna Tara, for a meal. The
king asked, “Why don’t you recite sutras?” The patriarch said, “The poor way1 does not stay
in the world of subject when breathing in, and has nothing to do with the world of objects
when breathing out. I am always reciting the suchness-sutra in millions and millions of
volumes.”
