汾陽無德禪師語錄 1.42

1.42

邑眾送鐘到，請上堂，師云：「過去毘婆尸佛出興于世，時有一信士，鑄金鐘一口，可重萬斤。又一信士，身手有力，入山採栴檀木為杵。獲此福故，鑄鐘者，現今成佛在東方，號金光聚如來；次施杵者，即西天二十四祖師子尊者，親弟亦是出家，龍子比丘是，智慧辯才，無人過者，九十一劫，常生人間天上，受勝福樂。今日邑眾施鐘，必生善利，要知果證，即今明取。還有問事者麼？」

When the townspeople presented a bell, they requested him to ascend the hall. The Master said: "In the past, when Vipaśyin Buddha appeared in the world, there was a faithful layman who cast a gold bell weighing ten thousand catties. There was another faithful layman who was physically strong; he entered the mountains to gather sandalwood for a striker. Because they obtained this merit, the one who cast the bell has now become a Buddha in the eastern direction, named the Tathāgata Golden Light Accumulation. Next, the one who gave the striker was the twenty-fourth patriarch in India, the Venerable Siṃha; his younger brother, who also left home, was the monk Longzi. In wisdom and eloquence, none surpassed him. For ninety-one kalpas, he was constantly born among humans and heavens, enjoying superior blessings and happiness. Today the townspeople donate a bell; it will surely produce good benefit. If you wish to know the fruit of realization, understand it right now! Is there anyone who wishes to ask about this matter?"
