Liangzhu said: "The Chuandeng [lu] states: Emperor Wu invited the Mahāsattva to lecture on the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā. Holding clappers, he sang the forty-nine verse-contemplations. Zhu'an said: 'These mostly use the terms of the three natures; I fear they were attributed to the Mahāsattva's name by northern adherents of the characteristics school (Xiangzong).' Or it is said that he merely struck the table once with clappers. Master Zhi said: 'The Mahāsattva has finished expounding the sūtra.' However, when the Mahāsattva entered the court, Master Zhi had already passed away twenty years earlier. From where could there be this dialogue? Lou Ying compiled the Record of the Words and Deeds of the Mahāsattva in great detail, and it also does not record this matter."
