Chan Master Wenshu Dao met with disaster. When the bandits' force grew strong, his disciples fled. The master said: 'Can calamity be avoided?' and resolutely remained in the abbot's quarters. In the end, he was killed by the bandits. Layman Wugou wrote a colophon to his Dharma words, saying: 'Loving life and fearing death is the common condition of human beings. Only the ultimate person realizes the fundamentally unarisen: though living, he has nothing he clings to; understanding that it never perishes, though dying, he has nothing he fears. Therefore, when facing life and death, calamity and adversity, he does not abandon what he guards. Is not the master such a person? With the master's the Way, virtue, integrity, and righteousness, he is sufficient to transform the monastic groves and bequeath a model for later generations.' The master's name was Zhengdao, a native of Danling in Meizhou, and an heir of Fojian."
