7.232

The above treatise is in one fascicle. Composed in the reign of Emperor Cheng by the śramaṇa Kang Fachang. Chang always held a deer-tail chowrie as he walked. Whenever he met celebrated guests, he would engage in pure conversation for the whole day. Yu Yuangui said to Chang: 'Why is this deer-tail chowrie always with you?' Chang said: 'The incorruptible do not seek it, and the covetous are not given it; thus it can always remain.'
