或菴乾道初。翩然訪瞎堂于虎丘。姑蘇道俗聞其高風。即詣郡舉請住城中覺報。或菴聞之曰。此菴先師囑我。他日逢老壽止。今若合符契矣。遂忻然應命。蓋覺報舊名老壽菴也(虎丘記聞)。
At the beginning of the Qiandao era, Huo'an lightly visited Xiatang at Huqiu. When the monastics and laypeople of Gusu heard of his lofty style, they immediately went to the commandery to recommend and invite him to reside at Juebao in the city. Huo'an heard of it and said, 'My late teacher Ci'an instructed me: "In the future, when you encounter Old Longevity, halt." Now it matches like the two halves of a tally.' He then joyfully accepted the appointment, for Juebao had formerly been named Old Longevity Hermitage." (Hear-say of Huqiu)
