As any good teacher knows, what makes students good is not the ability to repeat what the teachers have said, but the ability to think critically and creatively about what has been said, thereby helping the teacher to be a learner. It is a remarkable feature of many of the stories in the Dharma Flower Sutra that the person who represents the Buddha is a learner, one who tries things, males mistakes, and learns from experience.
