It is known that the third Chan patriarch, Sengcan, met his death standing and with his hands folded in a gesture of greeting. When Zhixian of Huanqi was dying three hundred years later, he asked:
- Who dies sitting?
- Monks, they replied.
- And who dies standing?
- Enlightened monks.
Then he began to walk back and forth, and on the eighth step, he died.
When the venerable Deng Yinfeng was nearing the end of his life on Mount Taishan, he asked:
- Monks die sitting and lying down, but has anyone ever died standing?
- It has happened.
- What about dying upside down?
Those gathered shrugged their shoulders.
Then Deng Yinfeng stood on his head and died.
His sister-nun laughed and said:
- In life, you disregarded human rules and customs, and in death, you trample on social order as well!
