Emperor Suzong asked National Teacher Zhong: "A hundred years from now, what will you need?"
The National Teacher said: "Build a seamless stūpa for this old monk."
The Emperor said: "Please provide a model of the stūpa, Master."
The National Teacher remained silent for a long time, then said: "Do you understand?"
The Emperor said: "I do not understand."
The National Teacher said: "I have a disciple to whom the Dharma was transmitted, Danyuan, who is well versed in this matter."
