14.31

法師淨杲。四明人。學法真為高弟。撰金剛經疏。欲講即講。不俟眾集。有臣律師者入冥府。司名者曰。誤追也。臣潛窺其籍。有云明州淨杲闍黎。講金剛般若經一百遍。既反詣師以問。師曰。但十遍耳。恐以義勝褒為百遍。

Dharma Master Jinggao was a native of Siming. He studied under Fazhen and was a top disciple. He composed a commentary on the *Vajracchedikā Sūtra*. Whenever he wished to lecture, he immediately lectured without waiting for an assembly to gather. A certain Vinaya Master Chen went to the underworld. The official in charge of names said, "He was summoned by mistake." Chen peeked secretly at the register, which read: "Ācārya Jinggao of Mingzhou lectured on the *Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā Sūtra* one hundred times." After returning, he went to ask the master about it. The master said, "It was only ten times; perhaps because the meaning was superior, it was praised as a hundred times."
