又有王斌者。亦少為沙門。言辭清辯兼好文義。然性用躁誕多違戒行。體奇性異為事不倫。常著草屨來處上座。或著屧逍遙衢路既頻忤僧眾。遂反緇向道。以藻思清新乃處黃巾之望。邵陵王雅相賞接。號為三教學士。所著道家靈寶大旨總稱四玄八景三洞九玄等數百卷多引佛經。故有因緣法輪五道三界天堂地獄餓鬼宿世十號十戒十方三十三天等。又改六通為六洞。如欝單之國云棄賢世界。亦有大梵觀音三寶六情四等六度三業三災九十六種三會六齋等語。又撰五格八並為論難之法。

There was also Wang Bin, who had likewise been a śramaṇa in his youth. He was eloquent and skilled in debate, and was moreover fond of literature and its principles. However, his nature was rash and wild, and he frequently violated the precepts and practice. His temperament was eccentric and unusual, and his conduct lacked proper propriety. He would often wear straw sandals and go sit in the senior seats, or put on wooden clogs and wander leisurely along the thoroughfares. Having repeatedly offended the saṃgha, he eventually discarded the black robes and turned to Daoism. Because his literary compositions were fresh and elegant, he held a prominent position among the Yellow Turbans (Daoists). The Prince of Shaoling treated him with great appreciation and hospitality, giving him the title 'Scholar of the Three Teachings.' The Daoist works he wrote, such as the general essentials of Lingbao, comprehensively entitled the 'Four Mysteries,' 'Eight Vistas,' 'Three Caverns,' and 'Nine Mysteries,' ran to several hundred fascicles, mostly citing Buddhist sūtras. Thus they contained [terms such as] conditioned arising, the wheel of Dharma, the five destinies, the three realms, heavenly halls, hells, hungry ghosts, past lives, the ten epithets, the ten precepts, the ten directions, and the Thirty-Three Heavens. He also changed the six supernatural powers (ṣaḍ abhijñāḥ) to the 'six caverns'; for Uttarakuru, he called it the 'World of Discarding the Worthy.' There were also terms such as Mahābrahmā, Avalokiteśvara, the Three Jewels, the six emotions, the four immeasurables, the six perfections, the three modes of action, the three calamities, the ninety-six heterodoxies, the three assemblies, and the six fast days. He also compiled 'Five Standards and Eight Parallels' as methods for debate and refutation.
