Honoring Venerable Master Sheng Yen

I was trying to find the news story announcing his passing, but in any case, it shocked me when he passed away Tuesday, i do like the verse he left behind though:

無事忙中老，
空裡有哭笑，
本來沒有我，
生死皆可拋。

Busy with nothing, growing old.
Within emptiness, weeping, laughing.
Intrinsically, there is no "I."
Life and death, thus cast aside

Chan Master Shengyen was a very inspirational venerable master--I hope he will come back and expound on the Chan teachings once more.
