### [97.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.32)

The twenty-third patriarch, the venerable Haklenayaśas, having finished entrusting the Dharma, rose from his seat, leaped into empty space, performed the eighteen transformations, returned to his original seat, and quietly entered extinction. At that time the great assembly wished to divide the relics and each erect a stūpa. When the cremation was finished and they were about to divide the relics, the venerable one manifested his body and spoke a verse:  
“One dharma is all dharmas;  
All are subsumed in one dharma.  
My body is neither existent nor non-existent;  
Why divide it into all those stūpas?”  
Furthermore, the Dharma-transmission verse says:  
“When one recognizes the nature of citta,  
It can be called inconceivable.  
Clearly there is nothing to be attained;  
When attained, one does not speak of knowing.”
