佛祖統紀 21.4

21.4

雜傳之作。將以錄諸師之未醇正者。故淨覺以背宗錄。神智以破祖錄。草菴以失緒錄。或曰。法智之世。先後為異說者有之矣。豈當盡以雜傳處之乎。然昭圓之於四明。無師資世系之相攝。後人概以山外指之。亦足懲之矣。至若法智子孫時為逆路之說者。未若淨覺神智之為甚也。彼祝之而不類。我且指二人為首云（祝職救反事見楊子）。

The composition of the Miscellaneous Biographies is intended to record those among the various masters who were not unadulterated and orthodox. Thus Jìngjué is recorded for turning his back on the lineage; Shénzhì is recorded for attacking the Patriarch; and Cǎo'ān is recorded for losing the transmission. Some may say: 'In the time of Fazhi, there were those who maintained differing views both earlier and later; should they all be relegated to the Miscellaneous Biographies?' However, between Zhāoyuán and Siming, there was no mutual inclusion in master-disciple lineage; later people broadly referred to them as 'Off-Mountain' (Shānwài), which was already sufficient to reprove them. As for Fazhi's descendants who occasionally made contrary statements, none were as egregious as Jìngjué and Shénzhì. They were invoked as kin yet were not of the same kind, so for now I designate these two men as the foremost. (For *zhu* [praying/invoking], the pronunciation is *zhi* and *jiu* reversed; the matter is found in Yangzi.)
