佛祖統紀 11.21

11.21

鏡菴曰。道大德尊。智高辯富。作大法主。為世所宗。而於出處飲啄之緣。猶未得其自在。住上竺幾二十年。居靈山僅及一月。然則結緣之論。雖大賢有所未免。

Jing'an says: Great in the Way and revered in virtue, lofty in wisdom and abundant in eloquence, he acted as a great Dharma leader and was revered by the world. Yet regarding the conditions of emerging into the world, retirement, eating, and drinking, he still did not attain complete ease. He resided at Upper Tianzhu for nearly twenty years, but dwelt at Lingshan for barely a month. Thus, regarding the doctrine of forming karmic affinities, even great worthies cannot entirely escape it.
