大慧普覺禪師宗門武庫 1.14

1.14

自慶藏主者，蜀人，叢林知名，遍參真如、晦堂、普覺諸大老，游廬阜入都城，見法雲圓通禪師與秀大師偕行到法雲，秀得參堂，以慶藏主之名達圓通，通曰：「且令別處挂搭，俟此間單位空即令參堂。」慶在智海，偶臥病，秀欲詣問所苦，而山門無假，乃潛出智海見慶。慶以書白圓通，道秀越規矩出入。圓通得書知之，夜參大罵：「此真小人，彼以道義故，拚出院來訊汝疾，返以此告訐，豈端人正士所為？」慶聞之遂掩息。叢林盡謂慶遭圓通一詬而卒。

Librarian Ziqing was a native of Shu who was famous in the monastic groves. He had extensively studied under such great elders as Zhenru, Huitang, and Pujue. Traveling through Mount Lu and entering the capital, he met Chan Master Fayun Yuantong. Walking together with Great Master Xiu to Fayun, Xiu was permitted to enter the hall and conveyed Librarian Qing's reputation to Yuantong. Tong said, "Let him register for quarters elsewhere for the time being; wait until a place is vacant here, and then he will be permitted to enter the hall." While at Zhihai, Qing happened to fall ill in bed. Xiu wished to go inquire about his illness, but there was no leave granted by the monastery, so he secretly slipped out of Zhihai to visit Qing. Qing sent a letter reporting to Yuantong that Xiu was violating regulations by going in and out. Yuantong learned of this from the letter, and at the night informal gathering he scolded severely: "This is truly a petty man! Out of moral duty, that man risked expulsion from the monastery to inquire about your illness; in return, you lodged an accusation against him. Is this what an upright person or gentleman does?" Hearing of this, Qing stopped breathing. The monastic groves all said that Qing died from Yuantong's single scolding.
