He once told me, 'One who acts as the master of a place must select patch-robed monks of resolute conduct to assist him, just as hair has a comb and the face has a mirror; then benefits and defects, beauty and ugliness, cannot be concealed. It is like Ciming obtaining Yangqi, or Mazu obtaining Baizhang—throwing water into water, nothing opposes it.'"
