"Even when Jakushō and other priests set out from Japan to take some sutras to China, no one was found there who could embrace these sutras and teach them to others. It was as though there were only wooden or stone statues garbed in priests' robes and carrying begging bowls."

"Shin'ichi began to convey what was in his heart: 'The thought that my mentor is watching and waiting for victory is the source of my strength. I have always acted with the conviction that the shared struggle of mentor and disciple means the disciple fights, wins and reports that victory to their mentor. I continue to carry out my struggle in this spirit.'"
