26.36

張詮。字秀碩。野之族子也。尚情高逸酷耆墳典。雖耕鋤猶帶經不釋。朝廷徵為散騎常侍不起。庾悅以其貧起為尋陽令。笑曰。古人以容膝為安。若屈志就祿何足為榮。乃入廬山依遠公。研窮釋典深有悟入。宋景平元年無疾西向念佛。安臥而卒。旾（音春）秋六十五。

Zhang Quan, courtesy name Xiushuo, was a clansman's son to Ye. His sentiments were lofty and untrammeled, and he was exceedingly fond of the ancient classics. Even while plowing and hoeing, he still carried scriptures without setting them down. The court summoned him to be a Gentleman Attendant at the Palace, but he did not rise to the post. Yu Yue, on account of his poverty, raised him to be the magistrate of Xunyang; Quan laughed and said, 'The ancients considered a room just enough to accommodate one's knees to be peace; if one bends one's will to take emoluments, how could that be considered an honor?' He then entered Mount Lu to rely on Master Yuan. Exhaustively investigating the Buddhist scriptures, he had deep awakenings. In the first year of Jingping of the Song, without illness, he faced west reciting the Buddha's name, lay down peacefully, and passed away at sixty-five years of age.
