Post Summary:
Once when one of the monastery officers refused to make such an expenditure, Gaoan upbraided him, saying, in ancient times the founder of the Chan commune established the treasury for the sake of the aged and infirm. You are not sick and not dead."
People of discernment from all quarters esteemed Gaoan's personal conduct highly. When he retired from Yunju and went to Mount Tiantai, about fifty students followed him. Those who were unable to go wept as they parted with him. This is how much his virtue moved people.
