4.45

At the beginning of the Qiandao era, Huo'an lightly visited Xiatang at Huqiu. When the monastics and laypeople of Gusu heard of his lofty style, they immediately went to the commandery to recommend and invite him to reside at Juebao in the city. Huo'an heard of it and said, 'My late teacher Ci'an instructed me: "In the future, when you encounter Old Longevity, halt." Now it matches like the two halves of a tally.' He then joyfully accepted the appointment, for Juebao had formerly been named Old Longevity Hermitage." (Hear-say of Huqiu)
