He said to his disciples, “After I am gone, you must properly care for the sick and the ugly together, for they are all provisional transformations of Buddhas and bodhisattvas.” At the time he passed away in a seated posture, the assembly saw jeweled flowers falling in profusion. The Master, draped in a patched robe and holding a khakkhara staff, chanted the Buddha's name and departed riding through the sky together with several tens of monks.
