The Chuandeng lu states: "A monk asked a lecturer on the Amitābha Sūtra: 'Water, birds, and groves of trees all practice mindfulness of the Buddha, mindfulness of the Dharma, and mindfulness of the Saṅgha. What does this mean?' The lecturer said: 'Master Ji said: "A true friend does not wait for an invitation, just as a mother rushes to her infant."' The monk asked: 'What is a true friend who does not wait for an invitation?' Fayan answered in his place: 'These are the words of Master Ji.'"
