In the bingyin year, the third year, Zhong Fu of Nanping died. His son Kuangshi was enthroned, but was soon captured by Qin. Gao Jichang, Military Commissioner of Jingnan, occupied Jingnan. The King of Min met with the two Chan masters Xuefeng and Xuansha and asked, "What should be taken as the Way, and what kind of practice should be undertaken to see one's nature and attain Buddhahood?" Xuefeng said, "You should first repent and cleanse the defilements of obstructions; this is how one realizes the mind and sees one's nature. 'The entire ocean of karmic obstacles / Is born from false thoughts. / If one wishes to repent, / Sit upright and contemplate true reality.' May the Great King recognize true reality, and you will naturally become a Buddha" (from his biography). In the dingmao year, the fourth year of Tianyou, in the third month, the Emperor abdicated in favor of the King of Liang. Liang accepted the abdication and changed the reign era to the first year of Kaiping.
