I hear from the video, Master Ri-Chang illustrated the answer with this scenario:

  • Someone points his finger at your nose and asks whether you are in control (你能作主吗?).
  • facing this scenario, at the point you start answering the question, you are already not in control as you are responding to something else not in your influence.

I understand from it that Venerable Ru Jun’s purpose of relating this story is to demonstrate that Buddha’s Teachings will probably be at conflict with our own thinking.
This is a reflection of our own ignorance.
By realising this, we will have a chance to change our thinking and perspective.
And also to increase our faith in the Teachings.
