One day in an address, Zen master Zongjue quoted, "Buddha had a secret saying; Kasyapa didn't conceal it."
Hearing this Zhijian suddenly realized the mystic meaning. he wept as he stood there, unconsciously blurting out, "Why haven't we heard this before?"
After this lecture Zongjue summoned Zhijian and asked him why he had been weeping in the teaching hall.
Zongjue gave him approval and said you must be the one Yunju predicted long ago.
