Hearing the obituary of Wuzu, [the Master] ascended the hall and said: "On the peak of Dayu Ridge, laughter turned into weeping; beneath the gate of Chongning, weeping turned into laughter. Why? In drinking spring water, value the vein of the earth; above all, the true eye must circulate and the lineage style must not decline. As it is said: 'The phenomena of impermanence, birth, and death have nothing to do with me. If one can see in this way, there is no need to weep to the blue sky.' Since there is no need to weep to the blue sky, how do we send word? I ask the great assembly to take up incense and roll the dice for a double victory." He stepped down from the seat.
