五祖夜至三更，喚惠能堂內，說《金剛經》。惠能一聞，言下便悟。其夜受法，人盡不知，便傳頓教法及衣，以為六代祖。衣將為信稟，代代相傳；法以心傳心，當令自悟。五祖言：「惠能！自古傳法，氣如懸絲！若住此間，有人害汝，汝即須速去。」

> At the third watch of the night, the Fifth Patriarch summoned Huineng into the hall and expounded the Vajracchedikā. As soon as Huineng heard it, he awakened at his words. That night he received the Dharma without anyone knowing; \[the Master\] then transmitted the sudden teaching Dharma and the robe, establishing him as the sixth-generation patriarch. "The robe is to serve as a token of inheritance, transmitted from generation to generation; the Dharma is transmitted from mind to mind, and you must cause \[others\] to awaken for themselves." The Fifth Patriarch said: "Huineng! Since ancient times, the transmission of the Dharma has hung as if by a thread. If you remain here, someone will harm you; you must leave immediately."
