忍凍餓感文吉

草棚無遮障。內外洞然。蜷伏一隅。雪花滿天飛。飢寒交加奄然一息。正念現前。至三日漸昏迷。初六日午後雪止。微見日影。然已病莫能興矣。初七日來一丐者。致問公不能言。煮黃米粥令食。

宣化偈曰：
舖地蓋天雪為氈。老人獨臥非孤寒。
知音丐者來慰問。雪中送頓黃米餐。

His enduring of cold and hunger prompts the appearance of Wen Chi

The straw hut offered no protection since it was open to the elements. The Master huddled up into a corner while the flying snowflakes filled the sky. His very life lingered between waves of cold and hunger. Still, he managed to sustain proper mindfulness. But as the third day approached, he gradually lost consciousness. The snow stopped on the afternoon of the sixth day of the month. He was so severely ill that he could not move to take advantage of the faint rays of sun he saw. On the seventh, a beggar came along and asked the Master a question, but received no reply. The beggar then cooked some yellow rice gruel which he fed to the master.

The verse says:
Bedding on the ground with the sky as a roof, he used the snow as a blanket. 
The Venerable Master rested by himself but was not alone in the cold.
A beggar who came and knew his sound cared for the Master's health.
With snow all around he prepared a meal made of yellow rice.
