[Hongzhi] cited: Huangbo asked Baizhang, "Regarding the affair handed down from of old, how does the Master instruct others?" Baizhang sat firmly in his seat. Huangbo said, "What will later descendants transmit?" Baizhang said, "I took you for a real person!" and then returned to the abbot's quarters. The Master [Hongzhi] said, "'Words filling the world without oral error; conduct filling the world without resentment or enmity'—give credit to Baizhang. It was not that Huangbo did not know it existed; he only wanted this dialogue to circulate widely. Do you understand Baizhang's returning to the abbot's quarters? Among the forest, autumn leaves fall; / Beyond the reach of transformation, the water and sky are autumn."
