Orthodox Lineage of the Linji School: Zhao Mengfu of the Inner Hanlin, by imperial order, composed a stele inscription, an excerpt of which states: 'With great wisdom, the Buddha shatters all existence; with great perfect awakening, he encompasses all emptiness; with great compassion, he delivers all multitudes. Beginning with no words, he arrives at leaving nothing unsaid; leaving nothing unsaid, he arrives at no words. Now, the Way is not transmitted without words, yet if it is transmitted without words, then the Way lies beyond words. This alone is the highest supreme vehicle of the Buddha's Dharma: like transmitting fire with firewood, though the firewood is consumed, the fire is transmitted without end.'
