Nowadays, when monks travel on pilgrimage, it is elegantly called "flying the staff". This derives from the eminent monk Yinfeng traveling to Mount Wutai; coming out of Huaixi, he threw his staff into the air and flew away. As for monks who attained the Way in India, their comings and goings were mostly by flying the staff.
