師將圓寂，謂眾云：「吾有閑名在世，誰人為吾除得？」眾皆無對。時沙彌出云：「請和尚法號？」師云：「吾閑名已謝。」（石霜云：「無人得他肯。」雲居云：「若有閑名，非吾先師。」曹山云：「從古至今，無人辯得。」疎山云：「龍有出水之機，無人辯得。」）僧問：「和尚違和，還有不病者也無？」師云：「有。」僧云：「不病者，還看和尚否？」師云：「老僧看他有分。」僧云：「未審和尚如何看他？」師云：「老僧看時，不見有病。」師乃問僧：「離此殼漏子，向甚麼處與吾相見？」僧無對。師示頌云：「學者恒沙無一悟，過在尋他舌頭路，欲得忘形泯蹤跡，努力殷勤空裏步。」乃命剃髮，澡身披衣，聲鐘辭眾，儼然坐化。時大眾號慟，移晷不止。師忽開目，謂眾云：「出家人，心不附物，是真修行。勞生惜死，哀悲何益？」復令主事辦愚癡齋。眾猶慕戀不已，延七日，食具方備，師亦隨眾。齋畢乃云：「僧家無事，大率臨行之際，勿須喧動。」遂歸丈室，端坐長往。當咸通十年三月。壽六十三，臘四十二，諡悟本禪師，塔曰慧覺。

When the Master was about to enter parinirvāṇa, he addressed the assembly, saying, "I have an idle name in the world; who can remove it for me?" The assembly all had no reply. At that time a śrāmaṇera came forward and said, "May we inquire of the upādhyāya's Dharma name?" The Master said, "My idle name has already withered away." (Shishuang said, "No one obtains his affirmation." Yunju said, "If there is an idle name, he is not our late master." Caoshan said, "From antiquity to the present, no one has been able to distinguish it." Shushan said, "The dragon has the dynamic of emerging from the water; no one has been able to distinguish it.") A monk asked, "The upādhyāya is unwell; is there still one who is not ill?" The Master said, "There is." The monk said, "Does the one who is not ill still look after the upādhyāya?" The Master said, "This old monk has a share in looking after him." The monk said, "I wonder how the upādhyāya looks after him?" The Master said, "When this old monk looks, I do not see any illness." The Master then asked the monk, "Leaving this leaky husk behind, where will you meet with me?" The monk had no reply. The Master presented a verse, saying: / Students [as numerous as] the sands of the Ganges, yet not one awakened; / The fault lies in pursuing the path of another's tongue. / If you wish to forget the form and wipe away the traces, / Diligently strive to stride into the void. / Thereupon he ordered his hair to be shaved, bathed his body, donned his robe, sounded the bell to bid farewell to the assembly, and solemnly passed away in meditation. At that time the great assembly wailed and grieved, continuing for hours without ceasing. The Master suddenly opened his eyes and said to the assembly, "Those who have left home have minds that do not attach to things; this is true practice. Laboring over life and begrudging death, what benefit is there in sorrow and grief?" He again instructed the director of affairs to prepare a delusion feast. The assembly still yearned for him without end; after delaying for seven days, the food and utensils were finally prepared, and the Master also joined the assembly. When the meal was completed, he said, "The monastic community has no concerns; in general, at the time of departure, there is no need for clamor and commotion." He then returned to the abbot's quarters, sat upright, and departed forever. This was in the third month of the tenth year of the Xiantong era. His age was sixty-three, his monastic age forty-two. He was posthumously granted the title Chan Master Wuben, and his stūpa was named Huijue.
