高僧傳 4.23

4.23

Zhu Fayun's realization penetrated the abstruse, and he was especially skilled in the Fangguang bore (Mokṣala's Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā-sūtra). Kang Fashi also had merit in doctrinal study, but was renowned for his cursive and clerical calligraphy. He once met Kang Xin; Xin considered his own brushwork superior to that of Shi, so Shi and Xin each produced works in the cursive script of the General of the Right Army (Wang Xizhi); bystanders secretly sold them as commodities, and no one could tell them apart. He also copied numerous scriptures, which were highly valued. Zhu Faji had talent and literary skill from youth, and authored the Gaoyi shamen zhuan (Biographies of Lofty and Untrammeled Śramaṇas). All these figures were disciples of extraordinary ability under Qian; Sun Chuo composed eulogies for all of them, so they are not copied here in full.
