佛祖統紀 10.61

10.61

法師行靖與行紹。皆錢唐人。同依壽禪師出家。通練律部。同居石壁寺（去杭二十里在龍山之西）時韶國師法道大振。初往從之。國師觀其法器。即使往學三觀於螺溪之席。二師既偕往。講求大義旦夜不息。未幾所學已成乃復回石壁為眾講說。前後五十年。確守山林之操。未嘗出遊閭里。吳中宿學皆服其高潔。嵩明教論之曰。出家於壽公。學法於寂公。見知於韶公。三皆奇節異行不測人也。二師皆得以親事之豈不偉歟。

Dharma Master Xingjing and Dharma Master Xingshao were both men of Qiantang. Together they left the household life under Chan Master Shou, thoroughly training in the vinaya texts. They dwelt together at Shibi Temple (twenty li from Hangzhou, to the west of Dragon Mountain). At that time, the Dharma-way of National Preceptor Shao flourished greatly, and they first went to follow him. The National Preceptor, observing that they were vessels of the Dharma, promptly sent them to study the Threefold Contemplation at the seat of Luoxi. After the two masters went together, they investigated the great tenets day and night without rest. Before long, their studies were accomplished, and they then returned to Shibi to lecture and expound for the assembly. For fifty years, before and after, they resolutely maintained the conduct of the mountain forests and never went wandering into villages and neighbourhoods. Senior scholars of the Wu region all submitted to their lofty purity. Song Mingjiao discussed them, saying: "They left home under Master Shou, studied the Dharma under Master Ji, and were recognized and understood by Master Shao. All three were men of extraordinary virtue and uncommon conduct who were unfathomable. That the two masters were both able to personally serve them—is this not magnificent?"
