Ascending the hall, he cited: "Emperor Suzong asked National Teacher Zhong: 'After your passing, Upādhyāya, what will you need?' The National Teacher said: 'Build this old monk a seamless stupa.' The Emperor said: 'Please provide the master's stupa model.' The National Teacher remained silent for a long while and said: 'Do you understand?' The Emperor said: 'I do not understand.' The National Teacher said: 'I have a Dharma-successor disciple, Danyuan, who is well versed in this matter; please summon him to ask.'" The Master said: "In front are pearls and carnelian; in back are carnelian and pearls. On the east side are Avalokiteśvara and Mahāsthāmaprāpta; on the west side are Samantabhadra and Mañjuśrī. In the middle there is a single banner, blown by the wind, saying: 'Hulu, hulu!'"
