Ascending the hall, he cited: "The Third Patriarch met the Second Patriarch, bowed, and asked, 'I pray the master will repent my sins.' The Second Patriarch said, 'Bring your sins here and I will repent them for you.' The Third Patriarch said, 'Searching for sins, they cannot be found.' The Second Patriarch said, 'I have finished repenting your sins for you.' Therefore, I compose a verse to present to the assembly: A holeless flute and fine woolen clappers; / The five tones and six pitches are all pervasive. / People of the time do not recognize Huang Fanchuo; / Laughing, they say our family has ascended the jewel palace."
