Kai was a disciple of Master Lan. He was skilled in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā Sūtra and was particularly proficient in the art of medicine. Emperor Mu once summoned him; examining his pulse, Kai knew he would not recover, and so did not treat him. Someone asked him, 'Master, you are elevated and discerning, firm and simple; why do you keep the art of medicine in mind?' Kai said, 'Clarifying the six perfections eliminates the illnesses of the four māras; regulating the nine pulse-states treats diseases of wind and cold. Benefiting oneself and benefiting others—is this not also fitting?'
