The Master hoped Zhang might awaken to his true purpose. Unfortunately, it seems Zhang never regained that awareness.On December 14, of the same year, the Master visited Zhang%u2019s studio once again and presented him with a handwritten verse as a keepsake. The verse reads:The foremost of all national artists and the former fellow cultivator, In the past and present, China and abroad, Feeling a great thousand worlds, your reputation extends so far that people fight to see you, A flash of lightning out through space higher than the sky. Avalokiteshvara manifests the appearance of an elder. Amitabha personally extends his congratulations. Although the sportive samadhi is a great deal of fun, Don%u2019t forget your purple, golden lotus in the West.This was written on November 9, 1972, in the Buddhist calendar year 2999, with the Venerable Master%u2019s signature and seal. Issue 35 of Vajra Bodhi Sea also includes some reports and photos related to this story, and we encourage everyone to read the original article.
