佛祖統紀 11.34

11.34

法師若愚。海鹽人。馬氏。賜號法鑑。學教於辯才。號稱夙成。郡以南屏興教延之不就。奉辯才杖屨。間居龍井者六年。後於湖之仙潭。營長堂接待。建大閣造西方像。結道族念佛。嘗數百人。三十年中預會者多蒙佛接之瑞。靖康丙午九月。謂其徒曰。吾夢神人告曰。汝同學則章。得普賢行願三昧。已生淨土。彼方待汝曷可淹留。即命眾諷觀經甫畢。乃云。聖相現前吾其往矣。即留偈曰。空裏千華羅網。夢中七寶蓮池。踏得西歸路穩。更無一點狐疑。闍維得舍利數百粒。塔於東廡。初入道夢白衣女授七十二策。後壽果及其數（此下本紀。遺失一人。如杲在子琳後）。

Dharma Master Ruoyu was a native of Haiyan, of the Ma family, and bestowed with the name Fajian. He studied the doctrine under Biancai, and was reputed to have matured early. The commandery invited him to head Xingjiao Monastery at Nanping, but he did not accept. Serving Biancai's staff and shoes, he lived in retirement at Longjing for six years. Later, at Xiantan in Huzhou, he built a communal hall for hospitality, erected a large pavilion, made images of the Western [Paradise], and gathered Dharma companions to recite the Buddha’s name, often amounting to several hundred people. Over thirty years, many who participated in the assemblies were graced with the auspicious sign of the Buddha receiving them. In the ninth month of the bingwu year of Jingkang [1126], he said to his disciples: “In a dream a spirit told me: ‘Your fellow student Zezhang has attained the Samādhi of Samantabhadra's Conduct and Vows and has already been reborn in the Pure Land. He is waiting for you there; how can you linger?’ ” He then ordered the assembly to recite the Contemplation Sūtra; just as they finished, he said: “The holy appearance has manifested before me; I shall go!” He then left a verse saying: “In the sky, a netted canopy of a thousand flowers; / In a dream, the seven-jeweled lotus pond. / Treading securely upon the path of returning west, / There is not a single speck of doubt remaining.” Cremation yielded several hundred relics, which were enshrined in a stūpa in the eastern corridor. When he first entered the Way, he dreamed of a woman in white who gave him seventy-two divining sticks; later his life span indeed matched that number. (Below this, the basic annals omitted one person: Rūgao was after Zilin.)
