"Oh good man! These controversial issues are things that belong to the world of the Buddha. They are not what Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas can fathom. If a person can indeed gain a doubting mind, such a person can crush out innumerable defilements, as huge as Mount Sumeru. When a human gets a fixed thought, this is what we call clinging."
Bodhisattva Kasyapa said to the Buddha: "Oh World Honored One! How do we cling?"
The Buddha said: "Oh good man! Such a person may very well follow what others say or look into the sutras by himself. Or it may particularly teach others, but being unable to abandon what the mind sticks. This is clinging."
