(26, yimao) Changed to Datong. ○ Dharma Master Huiyue bestowed his final admonitions on his disciples, and having spoken, he joined his palms and passed away. The Emperor suspended court for three days and wept for him in plain robes, burying him to the left of Master Zhi's stupa. The forty-eight thousand people who had once received the precepts from Yue all donned hemp mourning garments and wept as they escorted him to the stupa. The blue ox that Yue had ridden wept tears and bellowed mournfully, and a pair of cranes circled the stupa crying in lamentation, leaving only after a full month.
