- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Lieh Tzu was studying archery, and hit the target. He sought advice from Kuan-yin who asked him:
- 'Do you know why you hit the target?'
- 'No.'
- 'It won't do yet.'
- He went away to practice and after three years again reported to Kuan-yin.
- 'Do you know why you hit the target?'
- 'I know.'
- 'It will do. Hold onto this awareness and do not lose it.'
- This applies not only to archery but to ruling oneself. Therefore the sage scrutinizes not the fact of survival or ruin, but its reasons.
