At that time, Jiang Bin, a Daoist master of the various abbeys, engaged in debate with Tanmozui, a Dharma master of Rongjue Temple. The Emperor asked, saying, 'Were the Buddha and Laozi contemporaneous or not?' Jiang Bin replied, 'Laozi traveled west to convert the barbarians, and took [the Buddha] to serve as his attendant; clearly they were contemporaneous.' The Dharma Master asked, 'How do you know this?' Jiang Bin replied, 'According to Laozi's Kaitian jing, it is known on this basis.'
