Shoyoroku - Case 1: The World-Honored One [1] Ascends to the Rostrum [2] One day, the World-Honored One ascended to the rostrum. Manjusri struck the table with the gavel and said, "Contemplate clearly the Dharma of the Dharma-King! The Dharma of the Dharma-King is like this." Thereupon, the World-Honored One descended from the rostrum. [1]: i.e. the Buddha. [2]: see case 92 of Hekiganroku.
