The first big things Master Ching Kung tackles is this historical argument that really upset a lot of people.淨空法師首先處理的是一個讓很多人不安的歷史爭論。It's about whether you can get reborn in the Pure Land by taking karma with you,這個爭論是關於是否可以帶業往生淨土，or if you have to eliminate it all first.還是必須先完全消除業障?何為波羅密？What is Pāramitā? 佛言到彼岸。The Buddha said: reaching the other shore. 何為般若波羅密？What is Prajñā Pāramitā? 佛言智慧到彼岸！The Buddha said: wisdom reaching the other shore! 智慧是什麼？誰能定義智慧？What is wisdom? Who can define wisdom?
