Pictorial Biography of the
34. UPHOLDING THE MORAL PRECEPTS, HE WAS NOT MISLED IN A DARK ROOM
After paying his respects to the relics, the Master took a boat to Hangchou and visited the various sacred areas of San T'ien Chu Mountain. He bowed to Dharma Masters T'ien Lang (Bright Sky) and Ch'ang Sung (Tall Pine). The Master then boarded a boat. It being summer, the small boat was so crowded that all those aboard had to sleep in common quarters. Adjacent to the Master was a young woman. Late at night when he was sleeping soundly, he felt someone touching his body. Waking with a start, be saw the naked girl and immediately sat upright in the full-lotus position and recited mantras. Beware! |

The verse says:
Traveling on the very same boat,
Unexpected was his Vajra-strength
That he sat upright in the Lotus posture,
Whatever the transformation, it could not do anything to him.
