Creating Personal Meaning Of Sūtra

[T]he stūpa of the Buddha ManyJewels emerging from beneath the earth and rising into the air indicates breaking through the mind-ground of ignorance to dwell in the emptiness that is the supreme meaning; Śākyamuni’s three acts of purifying myriads of millions of world spheres means that one purifies oneself of the three categories of delusion, and so on. Through this “interpretation from the standpoint of mind-contemplation” (kuan-hsin-shih, kanjin-shaku) the meaning of a text is taken into oneself and personally appropriated. (Page 158)
