12.17

法師擇交。台之黃巖人。學法智得其道。天聖二年。章安慧因。始易為講院。請師主其席。法智作授辭與之。其略云。今授汝香鑪如意用為傳法之具。欲汝三學芳馨藹乎自己。四悉巧意適彼物。宜汝其懋之。勿妄揮秉。

Dharma Master Zejiao was a native of Huangyan in Tai Prefecture. He studied under Fazhi and attained his Way. In the second year of Tiansheng, Huiyin of Zhang'an was newly converted into a lecture monastery, and invited the Master to preside over its seat. Fazhi composed words of transmission for him, which stated in brief: 'I now hand you the incense burner and *ruyi* scepter to serve as tools for transmitting the Dharma. I desire that the fragrant aroma of your threefold training pervade yourself, and that the skillful intentions of the four siddhāntas be suited to those beings. Strive earnestly therein; do not wave or wield them recklessly.'
