Meng Yi, Grand Administrator of Kuaiji, served the Buddha with dedicated sincerity, but was held in light esteem by Xie Lingyun. Lingyun once said to Yi: 'Attaining the Way requires karmic roots of wisdom. As for gentlemen, your rebirth in heaven will surely precede mine, but your attainment of Buddhahood must lag behind Lingyun's.' Yi resented this.
