The Master sometimes said, "I dare not hope that you have waves moving against the current, yet even having the intention of going along with the current is hard to come by." He then cited: "When Liangsui first visited Magu, Magu saw him coming and immediately went to hoe weeds. Liangsui arrived at the place where he was hoeing weeds, but Magu paid him no attention at all, and returned to the abbot's quarters, shutting the door.

He also said, "When Magu asked 'Who is it?' and Liangsui said 'Do not deceive Liangsui'—was this not the moment of seeing through Magu at their meeting? 'If I had not come to pay homage to the Upādhyāya, I would nearly have been cheated of my whole life by the sūtras and treatises'—he also knew that there are places that cheat people.
