His exertion of mind was truly diligent! His intention was purely to have the flame continue though the firewood is consumed, lamp transmitting to lamp in succession. Recently, the Chan school has flourished while lectures and vinaya have fallen into neglect, not understanding that they are like the two wheels of a cart or the two wings of a bird. If those who succeed to the lineage hereafter would truly, like Tiantai, deeply enter the Lotus Samādhi and personally behold the assembly on Vulture Peak still solemnly convened and not yet dispersed, then the stick-and-shout wild Chan would all turn and flee!
