	达摩祖师西来意 The Intention of Patriarch Bodhidharma's Coming from the West
	^上宣^下

And became Hui Ke after the snow was stained by his severed arm.
The Master transmitted the mind seal of the Great Dharma
To him as the Second Patriarch, continuing the wise traditions.
Poisoned six times, the Master was never harmed in the least.
Carrying a single shoe, he returned to the West, never to be forgotten.
