11.19

Chan Master Cihui of Jiufeng in Fuzhou. Initially, while at Guishan, he encountered Master Lingyou ascending the hall and saying: “All of you merely attain the great essence, but do not attain the great functioning.”
The Master withdrew and walked out. Guishan called to him, but the Master did not even look back.
Guishan said: “This vessel is fit for the Dharma.”
One day, the Master took leave of Guishan to enter the mountains, saying: “I take my leave of the Upādhyāya. Though a thousand miles away, I shall not depart from your side.”
Guishan, visibly moved, said: “Take good care of yourself.”
