The commentary says: Fushi first studied under Fazhi, and when he went to Dongchan, [Fazhi] bequeathed him a letter. At that time, their relationship as master and disciple had already been settled. Later, when returning from the capital to Tianzhu, Ciyun treated him like a nephew; hence, upon his return to his hometown, [Ciyun] also presented him with written words. This demonstrates that among the Venerables, feelings within the Dharma gate were completely seamless. Yet ancient and modern lineage charts place him under Ciyun—how uncritical that is! Now, following Master Jian's record, I attach him to Siming [Fazhi]. Let those who peruse the charts not be misled.
