36.42

興寧元年。詔以瓦官窑地賜沙門慧力建瓦官寺。時朝賢注疏者不過十萬（一百貫也）顧長康素貧注錢百萬。人皆笑之。一日於殿壁畫維摩像。將點眸子曰。第一日開見者責施十萬。第二日開見者五萬。第三日開見者。任例責施。及開戶光明照寺。施者填塞。果得錢百萬。

In the first year of the Xingning reign era, an imperial decree granted the land of the official tile kilns to the śramaṇa Huili to build the Waguan Monastery. At that time, the subscriptions inscribed by court dignitaries did not exceed one hundred thousand [coins] (one hundred strings). Gu Changkang, who was usually poor, pledged one million coins, at which everyone laughed. One day, he painted a portrait of Vimalakīrti on the wall of the hall. About to dot the pupils of the eyes, he said, 'Those who come to see it on the first day when it is unveiled must donate one hundred thousand; those who come to see it on the second day, fifty thousand; and those who come to see it on the third day may donate according to the custom.' When the doors were opened, a radiant light illuminated the monastery. Donors crowded the gates, and in the end he indeed obtained one million coins.
