37.63

In the fourth year, an imperial decree ordered the śramaṇa Huigeng to lecture on the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā for the Seven Ancestral Temples at Leyou Park. Cui Wuzi, an envoy from Qi, came to court. Because the śramaṇa Hongyan was superior in both talent and virtue, the emperor ordered him to serve as the guest attendant. Whenever Wuzi spoke with him, he would sigh in great admiration. The court deliberated over placing an official cap on Hongyan [to return him to secular office], but the master fasted and swore an oath [against it], so the emperor desisted.
