Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi delivered a discourse on the root capacity of Dharma seekers:
In ancient times, the Dharmas that were "not transmitted to a third person" were passed down only to emperors and high officials, or transmitted one-to-one on mountain peaks or deep within primeval forests. Only those who have profound affinity and strong root capacity —those with a deep aspiration for the Dharma—would cross mountains and rivers in search of it, dedicating themselves to its pursuit.
Some have read the stories of the Mahasiddhas (Great Achievers). What qualifies one as a Great Achiever? First, one must be able to renounce everything one possesses. This is not something an ordinary person can accomplish. Especially in the Dharma Vanishing Era, the likelihood of giving up everything is extremely low. This is because we live in a material society, a world like a kaleidoscope. To reach a state where one can let go of this kaleidoscope is truly not easy.
Therefore, there are not many people who pursue the Great Perfection Esoteric Dharma. Only those who possess the requisite root capacity will come upon hearing of it, abandon the illusions of secular life, and follow the path.
