禪林寶訓 1.18

1.18

雲居舜和尚。字老夫。住廬山棲賢日。以郡守槐都官私忿。羅橫逆民其衣。往京都訪大覺。至山陽（楚州也）阻雪旅邸。一夕有客携二僕破雪而至。見老夫如舊識。已而易衣拜於前。老夫問之。客曰。昔在洞山隨師。荷擔之漢陽幹僕宋榮也。老夫共語疇昔。客嗟嘆之久。凌晨備飯。贈白金五兩。仍喚一僕。客曰。此兒來往京城數矣。道途間關備悉。師行固無慮乎。老夫由是得達輦下。推此益知其二人平昔所存矣（九峯集）。

Master Yunju Shun, styled Laofu, resided at Qixian on Mount Lu. Due to a private grudge, the prefectural administrator Huai Docguan framed him on perverse charges and forcibly defrocked him into civilian clothes. He went to the capital to visit Dajue. Upon reaching Shanyang (that is, Chuzhou), he was blocked by snow at an inn. One night, a guest leading two servants arrived, pushing through the snow. Seeing Laofu, it was as if they were old acquaintances. Shortly after, changing his clothes, he bowed before him. Laofu questioned him, and the guest said: ‘In the past at Dongshan, I followed the master as a capable servant from Hanyang carrying your baggage, Song Rong.’ Laofu spoke with him of the past, and the guest sighed for a long time. At dawn, he prepared food and presented five ounces of silver. He also called over a servant and said: ‘This boy has traveled back and forth to the capital many times and knows the obstacles of the road thoroughly. The master will surely have no worries on his journey.’ From this, Laofu was able to reach the capital. Inferring from this, one can know even more clearly what both of them maintained in their ordinary lives.” (*Collection of Jiufeng*)
