The first appearance of the Bodhi Patriarch in The Journey to the West is recorded as follows: "Look at the Bodhi Patriarch sitting on the stage, with thirty fairies standing on both sides of the stage. That's:
"? I feel that Jin Xian is not polluted, and the West is the wonderful ancestor of Bodhi;
If you don't die or live three or three lines, you will be full of goodwill.
Emptiness changes with it, just like nature;
The same fate as heaven, solemnity, exorcist, and bright heart have been robbed. "
As stated in the original book, "the Monkey King said,' As you said, you are a gentleman with filial piety. It will be fine if you go back. But I hope you can point out my immortal residence, but it is easy to visit. "Not far, not far," said the woodcutter. This mountain is called Lingtai Square Inch Mountain. There are three-star caves in the mountains, and the moon is oblique. There is a fairy in that cave, named Bodhi Zushi. There are countless disciples of the founder who went out, and there are still thirty or forty people practicing from him. Go south along that path for seven or eight miles, and that's his home. " "
