synopsis
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.
