(21) Emperor Xiaowu decreed the monk Daoyou to be the protector dharma master of Xin'an Temple. Formerly, Emperor Wen had asked Huiguan who was most refined in the doctrine of sudden enlightenment, and Huiguan replied with You. An imperial decree summoned him into the imperial palace, where famous figures assembled in crowds. You expounded in an orderly manner, the meanings of the Dharma brilliant, and listeners were awakened. If anyone posed difficult objections, You invariably refuted them and resolved the questions. The emperor slapped his thigh in praise. By this time, he had become the dharma master of the entire realm, fully living up to contemporary expectations.
