7.32

When he advanced to take the full precepts and receive instruction, he studied under Master Tong of Baoyun. When he first attended the Dharma assembly, his father dreamed that he was kneeling before the master, and the master held a vase of water and poured it into his mouth. Its draw was like a spring; its reception was like a valley. Thereupon, the purport of the perfect and sudden of the great Tiantai teaching was understood as soon as he received it, without waiting to hear it again. The master said to him: 'There is nothing in my words that you do not penetrate; you are of no help to me!'
