21.6

記曰。何山更為禪居。而塔地轉為菜圃。厥後寺眾有夢。師謂塔處灌溉非便。求遷之。及開龕。色身不壞舍利盈滿。遂具禮易葬焉。此與東山神照遷塔事極相類。皆於當時藏全身。而特示靈瑞於二百年之後也。異哉。

The Record states: Mount He was later converted into a Chan dwelling, and the stupa site was turned into a vegetable plot. Subsequently, someone in the monastery assembly had a dream in which the Master said that irrigating at the stupa site was inconvenient and requested to be relocated. When the shrine was opened, his physical body was undamaged and relics were overflowing. Thereupon, with complete ritual decorum, they reburied him. This is extremely similar to the relocation of the stupa of Shénzhào of Dōngshān: both had their whole bodies entombed at the time, and exceptionally revealed spiritual wonders after two hundred years. How extraordinary!
