Fojian said: "When the late teacher heard that Zhenjing had passed away, he arranged a memorial seat, prepared offerings, and wept with grief beyond the rites. Sighing, he said, 'Such a person is rare to find. His insight into the Way penetrated to the root without clinging to branches and leaves. What a pity that he died so young! I have not heard of anyone who can succeed to his Way at all. From this point on, the monastic groves of Jiangxi will be desolate and lonely.'" (Rilu)
