In his words, the hermit suddenly came to realize that "ten directions are in the same meeting, each learning is inaction, this is the place to choose Buddha, the heart is empty and the return.". It is said that when the hermit was about to die, he ordered his daughter's spirit to shine out to see the day in the morning, evening and afternoon. She suddenly reported that the day was already in the middle, but there was also an eclipse. The hermit went out of the house to observe it. The spirit of the hermit ascended to his father's seat and sat down with his hands together. As a result, the hermit died seven days later. When the censor heard of this, he went to ask about his illness, and the hermit said, "I hope all things are empty, but I'm careful not to be real. It's like influence to live in the world." The end of speech is the pillow on the knee.
