67 恭送十里惜別
文賢送衣物旅費，公概不受。臨行代攜行李，相送十餘程灑淚而別。時乃五月，初一日也，向忻州前進，諺曰有道人人親，有德處處尊。文賢大師，挽留公久住不住，益見公之行願不變。
宣化偈曰：
修道原來不戀情，
淡然無味白水心。
萬物靜觀皆自得，
四時佳興與人同。
67 Respectfully accompanying the Master for ten miles and then departing in sorrow
Wen Hsien (Erudite Worthy) offered the Master clothes, provisions and money for traveling expenses, all of which he refused. When he left, Wen Hsien accompanied him, carrying his bags more than ten miles. Weeping, he returned. It was the first day of the fifth lunar month and the Master headed for Hsin Chou (Happy County). There is a proverb that says, “People draw near men of the Way and honor those with virtue.” The Venerable Wen Hsien was unable to detain the Master for very long. From this, We can see that the Master did not waver in fulfilling his vows.
The verse says:
A true cultivator of the Way does not yearn after emotions.
His mind became like ordinary water-insipid and flavorless.
Contemplating the myriad things in stillness with self-mastery,
View the splendid turnings of the four seasons shared among us all.
68 官人代送衣單
一日早在途中拜香，後來一馬車，緩行不越前。公覺而避之，官下車問，大師在路拜什麼。告以故，官亦湘人，談甚暢洽。又曰：我住峨口白雲寺，朝臺必經路，衣單代你先送到。公謝之去。
宣化偈曰：
湘省官人識大德，
願送衣單白雲居。
從此輕便向前拜，
洪願將遂暢心懷。
68 An official offering to take his bags
Early one morning when the Master was bowing along the road. a horse-drawn carriage came up from behind, The carriage moved slowly without overtaking him. The Master moved out of the way, but the vehicle came to a stop and an official got out and asked, “Why is Venerable Master prostrating himself on the road?” The Master told him. The official was also a native of Hsiang-hsiang, so they chatted pleasantly, He told the Master, “I am presently staying at Pai Yun Monastery in O K’ou, which is on the route to Wu Tai. I can take your bag there for you if you wish.” The Master accepted, thanked him, and they parted.
The verse says:
The official born in the county of Hsiang recognized Great Virtue.
And offered to take the Master’s bag to Pai Yun Monastery.
After this the Master traveled light and continued bowing along.
His remarkable vow nearing completion, and the joy in his heart was great.
