He banged the bell and chanted Buddhism every day. In 1986, he went to Jiuhua mountain Zen hall for meditation, strictly abiding by the commandments and often holding a shovel. In October 1990, when Ciming predicted that he would return to the west, he preached that monk Degui, the great disciple of Xingjiao monk, came to the mountain from Qimen. On November 26, he explained his future affairs to his beloved disciple and left a verse: "it is like no change to forget yourself and give up life. If you really hold it down, you will feel empty.
