The Flower Ornament Scripture, Vol. 16

 

“It is like treasures in the dark, cannot be seen without the light; With no one to explain Buddha's teaching even the intelligent cannot comprehend it." The Flower Ornament Scripture, Vol. 16

《大方廣佛華嚴經》卷16：

「譬如闇中寶，無燈不可見，佛法無人說，雖慧莫能了。」

Remark:

Buddhist practitioners should be able to select a decent mentor who can clearly delineate the contents of the 52 cultivation stages of Buddha Sakyamuni’s teachings, and the sutras that have been passed down, from the very fundamental Agamas to the most profound and expanded teachings of Vijnana-Only.
