遠法師居廬山下，持律精苦，過中不受蜜湯，而作詩換酒，飲陶彭澤。送客無貴賤，不過虎溪，而與陸道士行，過虎溪百步，大笑而別。故禪月作詩云：愛陶長官醉兀兀，送陸道士行遲遲，買酒過溪皆破戒，斯何人斯師如斯。故傚之。

Dharma Master Yuan resided at the foot of Mount Lu, upholding the monastic precepts with rigorous asceticism; past noon he would not even accept honey-water. Yet he wrote poetry to exchange for wine and drank with Tao of Pengze. When seeing off guests, whether noble or lowly, he would not cross Tiger Creek; yet walking with Daoist Lu, he crossed Tiger Creek by a hundred paces, and parted with great laughter. Therefore Chanyue composed a poem saying: "Loving Magistrate Tao who was tipsy and nodding, / seeing off Daoist Lu, walking lingeringly slow; / buying wine and crossing the creek both broke the precepts; / what kind of man was this, and the master was like this!" Thus I imitate it.
