4.91

Emperor Taizong of the Song, because of an occasion, asked six questions, but at the time no one could respond to him. When he entered a temple and saw a monk reading a sutra, he asked: "What sutra are you reading?" The monk answered: "The Benevolent King Sutra." The emperor said: "Since it is Our sutra, why is it in your hands?" On [his] behalf the master said: "Imperial Heaven has no partial affections; it assists only virtue."
