The Master said to Caoshan: 'When I was at the place of the late master Yunyan, I personally received the seal of the Jewel Mirror Samādhi, which is the most essential matter. Now I confer it upon you; safeguard and maintain it well, and do not let it be cut off. Only when you encounter a genuine vessel of the Dharma may you transmit it. You must keep it secret and not display it openly, for fear that if it enters common circulation, it will destroy my lineage. In the end period of the Dharma, people will have mostly dry wisdom. If you wish to test and verify the genuineness of people on the upward path, there are three kinds of leakage. You must truly possess the eye.'
