8.8

後受業於猛、斌二法師。猛嘗講《成實》。張融構難重疊。猛稱疾不堪多領,乃命慧令答之。融以慧年少,頗協輕心。慧乘機挫銳,言必詣理,酬酢往還,綽有餘裕。善大乘,明數論,講說相續,學徒甚盛。區別義類,始為章段焉。褚澄、謝超宗名重當時,並見推禮。

Later he studied under the two Dharma Masters Daomeng and Sengbin. Daomeng was once lecturing on the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra. Zhang Rong constructed successive difficult challenges. Daomeng claimed illness and pleaded an inability to deal with so many arguments, so he instructed Daohui to respond to him. Because of Daohui's youth, Rong harbored some disdain. Seizing the opportunity, Daohui blunted his sharpness, his words consistently reaching ultimate principle; in the exchanges back and forth, he had ample leeway. He was skilled in the Mahāyāna, clear on the counting-treatises, and lectured continuously, his disciples being extremely numerous. In differentiating categories of doctrinal meaning, he was the first to establish chapters and sections. Chu Cheng and Xie Chaozong, both men of great renown at the time, regarded him with high esteem and deference.
