Dharma Master Shen Guang
Retorts Sarcastically

神光法师　反唇相讥

Dharma Master Shen Guang said, "Hey! What did you come here for? Don't you even know what Sutra lectures are all about? Where did you come from?"

神光法师说：“喔！那你来干什么？你连为什么讲经都不知道？你到底是从什么地方来的？”

"I came here from India."

“我从印度来的。”

"You come from India, and I am here explaining the Buddhist scriptures. Don't people explain Buddhist scriptures in India? You don't even seem to know."

“你从印度来的，我讲佛经，你印度没有讲佛经的吗？你都不懂？”

Patriarch Bodhidharma replied, "The Sutra lectures in India explain the wordless true Sutra. The Sutras you lecture on here have words."

达摩祖师说：“我们印度讲经啊，是讲无字真经，没有字的经。你讲经，是讲有字的经。”

Dharma Master Shen Guang asked, "What is the wordless true Sutra?"

神光法师说：“什么叫无字真经？”

Patriarch Bodhidharma answered, "The Sutra I lecture is wordless. It is just a piece of blank paper. As to the Sutras you lecture, the inked areas are words, and the blank areas are paper. Why are you explaining them?"

达摩祖师说：“我讲的经，是没有字的，就那么一张白纸讲经。你讲这个经，黑的是字，白的是纸，那么你讲它干什么？”

Dharma Master Shen Guang replied, "I lecture on the Sutras to teach people how to end birth and death!"

神光法师说：“我讲经教人了生死嘛！”
