Inscription by Zhongfeng Mingben:
The right thinking [Samkalpa] is embodied within
His deep meditation on the Buddha [naga-samadhi].
Retaining not even one single object of thought,
A perfect harmony was wonderfully achieved.
In the endless time and space,
His all-embracing compassion prevails.
[signed] Mingben of Huanzhu paying his respects.
