禪林寶訓 2.61

2.61

When Gao'an retired from Yunju, Yuanwu wished to renovate Wolong Hermitage at Foyin as a place for his leisure and rest. Gao'an said, 'If a person of the forests has the joy of the Way and righteousness, the physical body can be treated as external. Having reached the age of following my heart's desires, I am just like the morning star and the dawn moon—how long can their light and shadow last? Furthermore, the Western Hills and Mount Lu, with their forests and springs linked together, are all places for my leisurely old age. Why must I possess them for myself before I can rejoice?' Before long, he took up his staff and went through Tiantai, later passing away on Huading Peak (from *Zhenmu ji*).
