Imperial favour was extraordinarily deep, and the gifts granted were exceptionally generous, thereby honouring his achievements in transmitting the Dharma. Mortars ceased pounding and songs ceased; mournfulness filled the suburbs and roads. Looking up in admiration, they laid him in the grave. As the soul-tablet was erected for the return wailing, people grieved in disbelief. More than ten thousand disciples beat their breasts or leaped in mourning.

He traversed more than thirty countries over a span of twenty-five years, gathering over four hundred texts of palm-leaf subtle teachings and acquiring more than three hundred genuine relics. His vow to transmit the lamp fulfilled, he shook his staff and returned. In the first year of Zhengsheng, he arrived at the Eastern Capital of Luoyang. By imperial decree, the authorities prepared ceremonies and dispatched monks from Luoyang to welcome him outside the city. Monastics and laypeople crowded together to escort him to Shouji Monastery.
