曾打算张罗和尚做斋会，就征收枫香二石，刚收上来三斗，便下令停止，并且以后再不这样做，他说： 贵贱贫富都靠自己，我不打算把什么留给后人。 
尝欲营佛斋，调枫香二石，始入三斗，便出教长断，曰： 与夺自己，不欲贻之后人。 
He once planned to give a vegetarian feast for the monks, so he levied two shi of maple incense, but after only three dou were collected, he ordered a halt to it and said that he would never do it again. He said, “The nobility, the humble, the rich, and the poor all rely on themselves. I have no intention of leaving anything for my descendants.”
