Emperor Xianzong repeatedly sent envoys to summon him, but he declined on grounds of illness each time. When the Emperor ascended the throne, he wished to pay him homage and gaze upon him; at this time, he dispatched Lingfu of the Two Streets carrying an imperial edict to welcome and invite him. The Master smiled and said to the assembly: "I shall depart by another path." In the middle of the night, he gathered the assembly, preached the Dharma, sat upright, and passed away. By imperial decree, he was posthumously granted the title State Preceptor Dada. ○ White Juyi, as Secretariat Drafter, was in charge of Hangzhou; he went to inquire about the Way with Chan Master Niaoke. The Master said: "Do no evil; perform all good." Juyi said: "Even a three-year-old child can say this!" The Master said: "Though a three-year-old child can say it, an eighty-year-old elder cannot practice it." Juyi submitted to his words, made obeisance, and withdrew. (The Master's name was Daolin; he studied under Chan Master Qin of Mount Jingshan). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 42.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.4) - [Next: 42.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.6) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.42.5) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛祖歷代通載](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.15.45) — Classical Chinese - [釋氏稽古略](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.3.212) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.5) · Pramāṇa
