- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- A monk was reciting the Diamond sutra: "... If one sees that forms are not forms, he then sees Buddha."
- The master was passing by and heard it. He then said to the monk "You recite wrongly. It goes like this: 'If one sees that forms are forms, he then sees Buddha.'"
- The monk exclaimed, "What you have said is just the opposite to the words of the sutra!"
- The master then replied, "How can a blind man read the sutra?"
