佛祖統紀 14.41

14.41

法師蘊慈。四明慈溪人。賜號圓覺。初依壽安弼師。既而復謁慈辯。其學大成。時門下十高弟。師為說法第一。初居西湖菩提。遷會稽圓通。崇寧初。能仁虛席。以師為請。有文首座能行人。各然二指禱佛冥被。師既至。一眾說服。智因暑熱。講散偃息臥榻。適首座至白曰。此山師席。講退之頃不入懺室則居禪堂。未有高枕自安者。師媿謝曰。敢不承教。自此祈寒盛暑不敢少懈。每當如廁則沐浴更衣。雖行道遇雪必手掬以為淨。著十類說權實指迷。世行其文。

Dharma Master Yunci was a native of Cixi in Siming, bestowed the title Yuanjue. At first he relied on Master Bi of Shou'an, and subsequently visited Cibian, whereupon his learning achieved great perfection. At that time, among the ten senior disciples, the Master was foremost in preaching the Dharma. He initially resided at Bodhi on West Lake, then moved to Yuantong in Kuaiji. At the beginning of the Chongning period, the seat at Nengren became vacant, and they requested the Master. Head Monk Wen and Practitioner Neng each burned two fingers, praying for the Buddha’s unseen protection. When the Master arrived, the entire assembly was thoroughly convinced. Once, due to the summer heat, after the lecture was dismissed, he reclined and rested on his couch. Just then the head monk came and reported, “In the master’s seat on this mountain, at the time the lecture concludes, if one does not enter the repentance chamber, one dwells in the meditation hall; there has never been one who comfortably pillows his head in ease.” The Master shamefully apologized, “Dare I not accept your instruction?” From then on, through severe cold and intense heat, he did not dare slacken in the least. Whenever he went to the privy, he would bathe and change clothes; even when walking the path of practice amidst snow, he would scoop it with his hands to use for purification. He composed *Ten Categories Expounding the Expedient and the Real to Point Out Delusion*, and his writings circulated in the world.
