17.30

Jing'an said: 'A worthy of the past said: "Siming revived the Way of Tiantai, and Yuanbian revived the lineage of Siming." This refers to the fact that after Siming, a faction practiced an intellectualized scholasticism that resembled the Off-mountain teachings. But when Yuanbian appeared, he alone was able to express the patriarchal intention and revive Siming. How magnificent! Some say that Yuetang attained the contemplation practice, Zhi'an attained the essential doctrine, and Yi'an and Xuetang attained eloquence and preaching; all possessed one aspect of the teacher's whole.'
