The
Pictorial Biography of the
Venerable Master Hsu Yun
17.
Settles In A Cliff Cave and Cultivates In Seclusion
At that time, the Master's father
at his home in Ch'uan Chou enjoined a number of men
to search for the Master. After receiving the precepts,
Fu Kuo packed up and began his explorative journey on
foot. It is not known where he went in his travels for
study. The Master had put down his body and mind and
sequestered himself on the back side of a mountain. The
people who came to see him were few indeed; however,
there were tigers and wolves who came from deep in the
mountains and valleys to the caves on the cliff. The
Master ate pine nuts when hungry, and when thirsty drank
pure spring water.
