26.29

法師道昞。頴川人。陳氏。幼出家為遠公弟子。該通經律兼明莊老。志節孤峻言與行合。念佛三昧究心無間。義熙十四年豫章太守王虔入山謁敬。請為山中主。用紹遠公之席。眾以道源法嗣咸知宗仰。元嘉十二年集眾念佛就座而化。春秋七十一。

Dharma Master Daobing, surnamed Chen, was a native of Yingchuan. In his youth, he renounced the householder's life to become a disciple of Master Yuan. He comprehensively mastered the scriptures and Vinaya, and was also well-versed in the teachings of Zhuangzi and Laozi. His integrity was solitary and lofty, and his words matched his deeds. He investigated the mindfulness-of-Buddha samādhi incessantly. In the fourteenth year of the Yixi reign era, Wang Qian, the Governor of Yuzhang, entered the mountain to pay his respects and invited the Master to be the leader of the mountain, succeeding to Master Yuan's seat. Because he was the source of the Way and the Dharma successor, the assembly all revered and followed him. In the twelfth year of the Yuanjia reign era, he gathered the assembly to recite the Buddha's name and passed away on his seat. His age was seventy-one.
