高僧傳 6.53

6.53

Monk Jian of Daochang Monastery in the capital admired his virtue and understanding and invited him to return to Yangzhou, but because Huiyuan was advanced in years, Tanyong ultimately did not go. However, Huiyuan's senior and aloof disciples were numerous; fearing that later on they would not yield to one another, Huiyuan used a minor pretext to expel Tanyong. Tanyong received the order and departed the mountain without any resentment or opposition. Thereupon, he built a thatched hut to the southwest of the mountain and, together with his disciple Tanguo, purified his thoughts in the gates of dhyāna.
