The Essence of the Teaching of the Diamond Sutra


One day before noon, the Bhagavan [the Buddha] put on his patched robe and picked up his bowl and entered the capital of Shravasti for offerings. After begging for food in the city and eating his meal of rice, he returned from his daily round in the afternoon, put his robe and bowl away, washed his feet, and sat down on the appointed seat. After crossing his legs and adjusting his body, he turned his awareness to what was before him.

---The Diamond Sutra, chapter 1, paragraph 2---
