安慈萬里拜雲公

丁亥一百有八歲。赴南華傳戒。講經後赴港。澳。中山。石岐等地作法會。戊子一百有九歲。萬里以外之雙城。安慈。號度輪者。來親近公。語次。公知為法器。印證工夫。見地咐囑心印妙理。命為戒學院教務職。藏器待時。

宣化偈曰：

雲公見我言如是。我見雲公證如是。
雲公與我皆如是。普願眾生亦如是。

Receiving the monk An Tz'u²⁸ who had traveled ten thousand li to pay his respects

In 1947, the Master was one-hundred-and-eight and returned to Nan Hua Monastery for the transmission of the precepts and to explain the sutras. Later, he went to Hong Kong, Macau, Chung Shan County, Shih Ch'i and many other places for Dharma assemblies. In 1948, the Master's one-hundred-and-ninth year, the monk An Tz'u (Peaceful Kindness), whose other name is To Lun (Wheel that Crosses Over), traveled more than ten thousand Ii from Shuang Ch'eng County to draw near to the Master. During their subsequent conversations, the Master recognized that the monk An Tz'u was a Dharma vessel, formally verifying his spiritual skill, charged him with the wonderful principle of the Mind-Seal. The Master told him to assume the directorship of the Vinaya Academy, storing away the vessel until the time was ripe.

The gatha says:
The Venerable Master Yun saw me, saying, "It is thus."
I saw the Venerable Master Yun, and verified, "Thus it is."
The Venerable Master Yun and myself together are both thus
And vow that beings everywhere realize they, too, are thus.

28. "Peaceful Kindness"
