Ascending the hall for opening the hearth, he cited Danxia burning the wooden Buddha. The Master said: "Danxia was like an insect eating wood; the monastery director's [words] accidentally formed a pattern. Today Bao'en opens the hearth; for now there is no wooden Buddha to burn, only some fire of ignorance constantly in front of you all. The days are short and the nights are long—take care of yourselves, each and every one!"
