Everyone's emotions fluctuated, except for Sangjie.
Sangjie clasped his hands together, his tone clear.
"Salutations to the venerable teacher! Today in discussing the true nature of all phenomena, I dare to ask the master: if one claims 'all phenomena are empty,' what is this 'emptiness'? Is it the void of cessation and annihilation with nothingness? Or is it the true void beyond the four propositions and free from the hundred negations, which neither falls into being nor non-being? If one speaks of extinction void, then causes, effects, and dependent origination all perish, making cultivation and realization illusory. How can this conform to the measure of the sacred teachings?"
Might found it difficult to transmit to Huai Kong, but easy to convey to the Heavenly God; it was straight talk within the Spiritual Link.
