Ascending the hall, [the Master] cited: Venerable Huashan [Chuanzi] instructed Jiashan, "In the future, you must have no trace where you conceal yourself, and do not conceal yourself where there are no traces. I was at Yaoshan for thirty years and only clarified this matter."
The Master said, "Concealing yourself must leave no trace: / The blue-eyed barbarian monk finds it hard to distinguish. / Do not conceal yourself where there are no traces: / Gate upon gate wide open, all dusts are understood. / Coming alone, one might think there are no companions; / Amid the hustle and bustle, one suddenly meets an old friend. / Willow threads containing gold still fear the cold; / Plum blossoms breaking through the snow have already become spring. / I have a thousand eyes across my entire body; / Responding skillfully without fixed bounds, everywhere is real. / And what is this matter of 'everywhere is real'? Do you understand? Aconite from Yizhou; achyranthes from Huaizhou."
