Guest Prefect Ming, after having his awakening, wished to announce his return to Japan. He sought out Guest Prefect Zhao, Head Monk Tong, and Elder Yuan; gathering together, they discussed the family assets within the Longfeng assembly. Sleeving paper, he requested Dharma words. This old monk is eighty-three years old this year, without the strength to ponder; I have composed a verse to furnish his departure. Over ten thousand leagues of sea passage, may you protect yourself with the Way. In the autumn of the dingmao year of the Xianchun era, Zhiyu, residing at Jingshan in the Great Song, wrote this at Budongxuan.
