四明尊者教行錄 7.156

7.156

寶雲（義通）法師，本高麗君族，樂道厭世，從佛薙落。首傳《華嚴》、《起信》，眾已悅隨。洎壯，越滄溟來中國，初訪雲居，契悟南宗。重念台衡教觀經五代離亂，僅存一線，遂挺志造螺溪寂公之室，頓受其傳。具體之學，聲聞四方。已而誓返本國，敷揚法化。因挈錫附舶四明，偶郡守淮海大王錢公（惟治）請問心要，辟為戒師。自是緇白傾嚮，固留演法。會漕使顧公（承徽）捨宅創寺，命師開山，龍象雲會，講貫二紀，遂以大法付法智禮公，是曰四明尊者焉。法智主延慶幾四十年，此道遂大振於天下，茲非所謂得傳弘之人而致然乎。（宗曉）比乘夙志，編鏤四明遺文，再惟寶雲鼻祖與吾四明為賢父子，表裏像運，中興一家。若其德業不傳於世，則教失宗元、後昆奚究。因考覈碑實、洎諸簡編，得師事跡與厥後繼之者凡二十篇，別為一帙，詺題《寶雲振祖集》，蓋取是院祖堂之扁曰振祖故也。覽斯文者當知，吾祖遺德之美，不可以采摭人微而見棄焉。嘉泰癸亥仲春清旦比丘（宗曉）敬序。

Dharma Master Baoyun (Yitong) originally belonged to the royal clan of Goryeo. Delighting in the Way and weary of the world, he followed the Buddha and shaved his head. He first transmitted the Avataṃsaka and the Awakening of Faith, and the assembly already followed him with joy. When he grew to manhood, he crossed the vast sea to China. At first he visited Yunju and accorded with the Southern School. Reconsidering that the doctrinal teachings and contemplation of Tiantai had barely survived by a single thread through the chaos of the Five Dynasties, he resolved to go to the chamber of Master Ji of Luoxi, and instantly received his transmission. Possessing the complete learning, his renown was heard in all four directions. Soon after, he vowed to return to his homeland to propagate the Dharma's transformation. Carrying his staff, he boarded a ship at Siming, where the regional governor, Prince Huaihai Lord Qian (Weizhi), happened to inquire about the essentials of the mind and invited him to be his precept master. From then on, monastics and laypeople looked to him with reverence and firmly detained him to expound the Dharma. It happened that the Transport Commissioner Lord Gu (Chenghui) donated his residence to establish a monastery and invited the master to be the founding abbot. Dragons and elephants gathered like clouds, and he lectured and trained disciples for two cycles of twelve years. He then entrusted the Great Dharma to Lord Fazhi Li, who was known as the Venerable Siming. Fazhi presided over Yanqing for nearly forty years, and this Way thereupon flourished greatly throughout the world. Was this not brought about by having obtained people who could transmit and propagate it? Recently, fulfilling my long-held aspiration, I, [Zong]xiao, compiled and carved the posthumous writings of Siming. Reflecting further that the founding patriarch Baoyun and our Siming were like an exemplary father and son, inner and outer in the era of the Semblance Dharma, reviving our one school, if his virtuous deeds were not transmitted to the world, then the teachings would lose their ancestral origin, and how could future generations investigate them? Therefore, examining the facts on stelae and various records, I obtained twenty pieces in all concerning the master’s deeds and his successors, making a separate fascicle entitled 'Collection of the Revival of the Patriarchs at Baoyun', which took its name from the plaque of the Patriarchs' Hall of this monastery that read 'Reviving the Patriarchs'. Those who view this text should know that the beauty of our patriarch’s posthumous virtue must not be abandoned merely because the one who gathered it is lowly. Respectfully prefaced by the bhikṣu [Zong]xiao on a clear morning in the middle month of spring, the guihai year of the Jiatai reign period.
