On the eighth day of the fourth month, [Hongzhi] ascended the hall: "The Buddha's body of light is completely without defilement; the water of nature is pure, always unmuddied. The auspicious event of the nativity and bathing aims to open wide the gate of merit. Babbling on only increases verbal karma; gluing and patching together only adds dust and entanglements. Let everyone thoroughly bathe the Buddha's entire body, completely and penetratingly bright and pure. For a long time, all buddhas have bathed my body; today, the assembly of monks bathes my buddha. The offerings of self and other are universally equal. Oṃ gagana-sambhava vajra hoḥ."
