In the course of two months he reached the Dayu Ridge, not knowing that behind him several hundred people were coming, intending to capture Huineng and seize the robe and Dharma. Halfway there, they all turned back. Only one monk, whose family name was Chen and given name was Huishun—formerly a general of the third rank, crude and fierce in temperament and conduct—went straight up the ridge, chasing and seizing hold of him. Huineng offered him the Dharma robe, but he refused to take it. Huishun said: "I have come from afar specifically to seek the Dharma, not wanting the robe." On the ridge, Neng then transmitted the Dharma to Huishun. Upon hearing it, Huishun's mind opened at his words. Neng had Huishun immediately turn back north to transform people.
