He sits with his head folded on the Seven-Palm Lotus Sutra, his right palm pressed against his left palm, and he is placed upside down in front of his foot as the navel. The upper poetry hall weaves a four character poem from the Qianlong Imperial Praise and Calligraphy on the blue ground using gold thread tapestry:
Heaven and earth, independent and revered
The Water Moon Dojo is now golden
Thirty-two phases, 80 types are good
The day is solemn, and seeing it is upside down
Vimo Ceiling, Shangyunfro
In the light of He Buddha, the Manta falls in abundance
Jiuhua Zhigai, Qibao Liantai
Three car method performance, five leaf Zongkai
When there is, there is empty, and when there is no empty, there is no empty
All sentient beings are fully devoted, and the banquet is held with righteous hands
