Synopsis

Xuandu began to formally study Buddhism with Wu Jing at the age of three. He was able to recite the Heart Sutra at the age of seven. He was practicing Zen like an old monk at the age of ten. At the age of fifteen, he had memorized the Diamond Sutra and Surangama Sutra by heart. But he never knew his life experience and thought he was an abandoned baby who was rescued by his master. When he was eighteen years old, Xuandu debated with Wu Jing in the meditation room the meaning of "there should be no dwelling place" in the Diamond Sutra. Xuandu won with the dialectical thinking of "living means not living, non-living means living", but Wujing shook his head and ordered him to go down the mountain to practice. So a monk went down the mountain.
