大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫 1.19

1.19

Chan Master Foyao Gao of Fayun once retired to live at the Iron Arhat Cloister of Jingde. In the hall there were several wooden arhat statues. The capital was bitterly cold; Gao took them and burned them, huddling over the brazier until dawn. The next day, when sifting through the ashes, countless relics were found. The various lecture masters all regarded him as a non-Buddhist. Indeed, Foyao was of the lineage of Danxia, not something worldly eyes could fathom.
