> I resided at Dangling Temple on Mount Tai. During the Putai era, I happened to visit Rong Mountain. There I saw a waterfall cascading down, and beneath it a cave one could enter. I went inside and walked for about five or six li before emerging. Following a narrow mountain path northeast for several li, I came upon a stone channel about two or three paces wide, with water flowing westward, crystal clear, and medicinal herbs covering the ground. North of the channel stood three tiled huts. In the courtyard, piles of rice stalks were stacked, and birds pecked at them lightly. On a shelf in the eastern hut lay several volumes wrapped in yellow cloth, and in the middle were two iron mortars along with vessels like cauldrons, all covered in dust, showing no trace of cooking. In the western hut sat a monk, upright and still, with green moss covering the four walls. Outside, dense forest surrounded, and hanging ravines blocked any path. After a while, a monk of about sixty appeared, with eyebrows over a zhang long, draped and coiled around his ears. When he saw me, he was delighted and asked where I had come from, offering kind words of comfort for some time. Then he said of himself, "My two fellow students and I retired from the world to dwell here. One has gone on a journey and not yet returned; the other has been dead for a long while, apparently entered into cessation. He is in the western hut—have you seen him?" He also asked, "What surname does the current ruler of the world bear, and what is the name of his state?" I replied, "The state is called Wei." He said, "So it is not one surnamed Cao?" I answered, "It is surnamed Yuan, not Cao." Then he took out pears and jujubes hidden beneath tree leaves in the forest and offered them to me to eat. In the evening, he pounded the rice stalks to make gruel for us, and he urged me to eat my fill, saying, "Do not doubt me because I do not eat." I asked what scripture he practiced, and he replied, "The Lotus Sutra." He nodded and said, "Very good." Then he continued, "The scriptures on the shelf in the eastern hut—I can recite them all. Would you like to hear them?" I pressed my palms together and said, "I would be honored to hear them." He immediately began reciting, continuing through the night until dawn. I kept dozing off, and he would say, "Just sleep. This is my regular practice." The next day, he prepared food again. I expressed my gratitude and said, "I am fortunate to have met you. Please allow me to take my leave for now; I will seek to meet you again." The monk showed no intention of keeping me, only saying, "When I go on my journey, my fellow student will soon return. Wait and meet him—it will greatly deepen your enlightenment. But since you are determined to leave, go well." After I returned, I sought companions and tried to find the road back, but in the end, I lost all trace of the way and gave up.
