Second-Rank Graduate Chen arrived. Ascending the hall, he cited: "In the scriptures it says: 'When I do not see, why do you not see the place where I do not see? If you see my not seeing, it is naturally not that mark of not seeing. If you do not see the place of my not seeing, it is naturally not an object; how is it not you?' Grandfather Master Baiyun said in verse: / 'The open pillar before the hall has long been pregnant; / the child brought forth is remarkably handsome. / Before understanding speech, he first composes rhapsodies; / with a single sweep of the brush, he takes first place in the examinations.'" The Master said, "I venture to ask all of you: do you know Grandfather Master's landing place? If you know the landing place, you will recognize the first-place graduate; if you do not yet know, Jingshan will point it out for you: / Profit or no profit, do not leave the marketplace; / letting a single move pass by, one falls into second place."
