9.37

Ascending the hall on the Buddha's Nirvāṇa Day: "Heaven has no pattern, earth has no order; suddenly departing, suddenly arriving, like the moon imprinting upon the water. The years and months have passed—Pāpīmān has his day. The coffin reveals the pair of feet—Pīndoladhvaja (Kāśyapa) rejoices all the more. Sorrowful, yet joyful: spring breezes, peach and plum blossoms. 'My doctrine is traversed by a single thread.' Zengzi said: 'Yes.'"
