In last post about chapter 9 of Diamond Sutra text, Buddha analyzed the experience of Subhuti's cultivation. He used his own experience to explain how to cultivate and comprehend dharma in chapter 10 of Diamond Sutra text. He asked Subhuti, 'How do you think about that, did I get any Dharma when I was with Burning Lamp Buddha?'

The time when Buddha was with Burning Lamp Buddha was not the last lifetime of Buddha. It was the time before many many lifetime. Burning Lamp Buddha was an ancient Buddha and he was the first Buddha who gave the sign to Sakyamuni. Then Subhuti replied, 'No, Buddha. You did not get any Dharma then.' It is true. The real bourn of buddha loses all gain. All are void to the utmost limit, even the state of void is void, too.
