《湘山野錄》云「唐相杜鴻漸初撫巴蜀，至益州見白雲山無住禪師，得佛法大意，自是棲心禪悅。有詩曰『長願棲禪理，安能揖化源。』晚年入相，以疾辭退。垂終，顧命諸子曰：『當為吾沐浴剃除須髮，加以僧加梨衣，用火焚軀。此吾願也，切不可違。』」

The Xiangshan yelu states: “When Du Hongjian, Chancellor of the Tang, first pacified Bashu, he arrived in Yizhou and met Chan Master Wuzhu of Mount Baiyun, obtaining the essential meaning of the Buddha Dharma; from then on, he lodged his mind in the joy of Chan. He had a poem that said: ‘I long vow to abide in the principle of Chan; / How could I bow to the source of worldly transformation?’ In his later years, he entered the chancellery, and resigned due to illness. When he was on the verge of death, he looked at his sons and gave his final charge: ‘You must bathe me, shave my beard and hair, put a saṅghāṭī robe on me, and cremate my body with fire. This is my vow, and you must not violate it.’”
