- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Butei, the emperor of Ryo, sent for Fu-Daishi to explain the Diamond Sutra. On the appointed day Fu-Daishi came to the palace, mounted the platform, rapped on the table before him, then descended and, still not speaking, left.
- Butei sat motionless for some minutes, whereupon Shiko, who had seen all that had happened, went up to him and said, "May I be so bold, sir, as to ask whether you understood?"
- The emperor shook his head sadly. "What a pity," said Shiko. "Fu-Daishi has never been more eloquent."
