四明尊者教行錄 7.202

7.202

四明寶雲通法師，新羅人也，得法於天台螺溪。既入滅，骨塔於阿育王山門徑之左，積有年矣。後因別改寺門，此地蕪沒塔亦隨壞。宣和丁未冬，今蔣山昌禪師主育王，徙其骨塔於烏石山，是時大眾半千同送之，今雪峯睿禪師、寶雲威法師亦預焉。其骨晶熒可愛，考之琅琅有聲。雪峯默念之，果若人骨也，當不止如是而已。少頃杲日既昇，見骨中世所謂堅固子者。二三眾驚且譁，則須臾變，數百千熣燦的𣋵瑟瑟如珠璣。人或求之，至有盈掬得之者。余紹興辛亥閣錫於廣利，禪人多以此語余，余尚疑之。續至烏石，禮法師之塔，菴有老僧曰某者，能道其事。果然又曰：老僧甞求二顆，寘掌中握之，移刻開示之，已滋七八矣。余始信之。此老僧非妄語者。然法師生有奇表，昔吳越國王尤所欽重，甞贊之有曰：白毫異相，滿月奇姿。千里同風，瞻之仰之。又詩曰：平生賴慈眼，南望一咨嗟。當是時台道既微，賴師持之。授法智、慈雲，以起家焉，此所謂台宗之命脈也。

Dharma Master Tong of Baoyun in Siming was a man of Silla who attained the Dharma from Luoxi in Tiantai. After he entered extinction, his bone stupa was placed to the left of the mountain gate path of King Aśoka Monastery, where it remained for many years. Later, because the monastery gate was relocated elsewhere, this site became overgrown and neglected, and the stupa accordingly fell into ruin. In the winter of the dingwei year of the Xuanhe era, Chan Master Chang, now of Mount Jiang, was abbot of King Aśoka Monastery. He relocated his bone stupa to Mount Wushi, at which time an assembly of five hundred persons escorted it together; Chan Master Rui, now of Xuefeng, and Dharma Master Wei of Baoyun were also present. The bones were luminous and lovely, and when struck they produced a clear, ringing sound. Xuefeng reflected in silence: 'If these are indeed human bones, they surely will not stop at this.' Shortly thereafter, when the bright sun had risen, there appeared among the bones what the world calls relic-gems (śarīra). Two or three among the assembly were startled and raised a clamour, and in an instant they transformed into hundreds and thousands, glittering, dazzling, and turquoise-blue like gems and pearls. Some of the people sought them, even to the point of obtaining handfuls. In the xinhai year of the Shaoxing era, when I lodged my staff at Guangli, many Chan practitioners recounted this to me, but I still doubted it. Later, when I reached Wushi to pay reverence to the Dharma Master's stupa, an old monk of the hermitage named So-and-so was able to recount the matter. It was indeed so, and he further said: 'I once sought two grains and placed them in my palm, holding them closed; after a short time I opened my hand to show them, and already seven or eight had multiplied.' Only then did I believe it. This old monk was not one to tell falsehoods. Indeed, the Dharma Master possessed an extraordinary appearance in life, and was especially revered by the former King of Wuyue, who once praised him, saying: 'An extraordinary mark of the white curl, an astonishing countenance like the full moon. Sharing the same style across a thousand leagues, we gaze up to him in reverence.' His poem also says: 'All my life I have relied on your compassionate gaze; looking southward, I heave a deep sigh.' At that time, when the Tiantai path had declined, it relied on the Master to sustain it. He transmitted it to Fazhi and Ciyun so that they could establish the house; this is what is called the lifeblood of the Tiantai school.
