6.77
興後頻復下書,闔境救之,殆而得勉。恒乃歎曰:「古人有言:益我貨者損我神,生我名者殺我身。」於是竄影巖壑,畢命幽藪,蔬食味禪,緬迹人外。晉義熙十三年卒于山舍,春秋七十二。
Afterward, Yao Xing repeatedly issued letters, but the entire region rallied to save them, so that they were narrowly able to avoid being forced to return to lay life. Daoheng then sighed, saying: 'The ancients had a saying: "That which increases my wealth harms my spirit; that which creates my fame destroys my body."' Thereupon he concealed his trace among the cliffs and ravines, resolved to end his days in secluded marshes, eating wild herbs, savouring dhyāna, and keeping his distance beyond human affairs. In the thirteenth year of the Yixi reign of the Jin dynasty, he died in a mountain hermitage at the age of seventy-two.
