Offering incense on the memorial day of Great Master Yuanjue: "Crossing the river, the wind leans on green reed tips; deep in the night in the golden palace, people remember him. In this land and the Western Heaven it could not be sold; throughout eternity it has become a scattered mess. On this day in the auspicious month when the calendar-plant unfurls five leaves, who says he concealed his light and hid his traces? By the incense burner and tea bowl, recalling his lingering sound—plainly face to face, they do not recognize each other."
