Story:
Zhu Daosheng, a prominent Buddhist monk in the late Jin Dynasty, began preaching at the age of 15 and taught Buddhism on Mount Lu at 20, becoming a master of Buddhist studies in Jiangnan.
He devoted himself to studying the Nirvana Sutra, which had recently been introduced to China, comprehended its profound mysteries, and consequently proposed the theory that 'everyone can achieve Buddhahood.'
For this controversial view, he was expelled from Mount Lu. He then wandered to Tiger Hill in Suzhou, where he preached.
It is said that even the stubborn stones nodded their heads in agreement, a testament to his profound eloquence and the truth of his teachings.
