The twenty-sixth patriarch was the Venerable Punyamitra. When he was a crown prince, the twenty-fifth patriarch asked him, "You wish to make your home departure. What thing must you do?" The master replied, "When I make my home departure, I will not do any particular thing." The Patriarch asked, "What thing will you not do?" The master answered, "I will not do any ordinary thing."
