1.11

Alas! Without the Bohai Sea, there would be no space to contain waves that churn the sky; without the vast wilderness, there would be no room to spread wings that drape from heaven. Now the Dharma Master displayed the mark of the broad and long tongue, soared with whirlwinds into the heaven of supreme truth within the ocean of sarvajñā; even the ancient eminent monks could hardly surpass him. Recently, while repairing the Dharma Master's sculpted image, his disciple Great Master Wenbian was found to have recorded his conduct inside the image's repository. Incompetent and unworthy as I am, I have presumed to edit and polish it as a commemoration, wishing only to extol the virtues and goodness of our ancestral master so that future generations may know and transmit them.
