37.26

In the fifth year, the Emperor visited Tongtai Monastery and propounded the title of the gold-lettered *Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra*. From the Crown Prince on down, 309,600 people listened to the Dharma. Minister of Personnel Dao Gai lived at home on a vegetarian diet, morning and evening following the monks in worship and recitation. The Emperor sent him pure food three times a month. The official salary he received was entirely donated to the two monasteries of Mount Jiang (that is, Mount Zhong). When he died, his facial complexion was as if alive, and his hand was bent with two fingers raised.
