In the same year, Venerable Hai Deng was invited to give a talk on the Diamond Sutra and the Guan Shiyin Pu Men Pin at the Shanghai Buddhist Youth Association. The response was tremendous.
((According to the guide's recollection: Venerable Hai Deng in Shanghai, live in Huai Hai Road, a former friend of mine was still young, Venerable Hai Deng taught him to practise martial arts, he did not like it, and later Venerable Hai Deng even taught him the secret method. The Cultural Revolution era, it is this friend of the preservation of the Sea Lantern Venerable Master's many legal books and treasures, is really the Master's foresight.

This is the sixth time the sea lamp Venerable Master revisited his hometown. When he came to the temple, he saw the snow flying and birds chirping, and the pines remained the same. Remembering the old days when he "danced at the sound of the bell" and practiced hard Shaolin kung fu, he couldn't help but feel that the words came out of his mouth, and recited:
Snowflakes and six birds chirping, and the petrels flying and remembering the crouching dragons.
Thirty years of good dreams, a hundred million robberies are heroes.
The Shaolin Trail is the only place where I can remember the night clock.
On his way back, he wrote "Four Styles of Revisiting Shaolin", one of which reads:
Songshan is famous for its martial arts, and the Shaolin warriors are all over the world;
Spring is just around the corner for me on a human day, and the snow is still coming down on us.
This is the first time I've ever visited Shaolin, and I'm sure that I'll never forget it.
