法苑珠林 40.27

40.27

During the Xianhe era of the Jin, the northern monk An Fakai arrived in Yuhang. Wishing to build a temple but lacking funds, he manually coiled strings of coins to sell them. Over the years, he gathered thirty thousand coins, purchased land, and built rooms, constantly taking the coiled strings as his means of livelihood. Wishing to erect a mast, he lacked a śarīra. There was a man named Luo You who already possessed one. Kai asked for it, but he would not grant it. When Kai reached the temple and bowed to the Buddha, he saw that You's bag of śarīra was already in front of the seat. He immediately informed You. You came along and saw it; he was delighted and gave it to Kai, and together they built a temple and lodgings in Yuhang.
