2.78

蜀郡大慈寺律師修準。雖云奉律性甚褊躁。庭前植竹多蟻子緣檻。準怒伐去竹。盡取蟻子棄灰火中。準後忽患癬瘡遍頭面。醫者云。蟻漏瘡不可醫。後竟卒。

Vinaya Master Xiuzhun of Daci Monastery in Shu Commandery, though said to uphold the Vinaya, was very irritable in temper. Bamboo was planted in front of his courtyard, and many ants climbed along the balustrade. In anger, Zhun cut down the bamboo, gathered all the ants, and threw them into the ashes and fire. Later, Zhun suddenly suffered from fungal sores all over his head and face. A physician said: “Ant-fistula sores cannot be cured.” Later he finally died.
