27.117

了義號木訥。鍾離少師之曾孫。十五舉進士。過金陵見保寧璣公聞法開悟。即從剃落隨所至處扁曰昨夢。念念西方未甞間斷。祥公赴黃蘗挽其偕行。一夕祥夢。師來別云。西歸矣復見佛菩薩授以金臺。越三日炷香宴坐含笑而化。甞詣五臺忽覺。隨眾菩薩後行道。有紫綬金章二人從其後。師詰其名。一僧引至殿旁觀玉牌金書王古葛繁二名字。

Liaoyi, styled Mune, was the great-grandson of Junior Preceptor Zhongli. At fifteen he passed the imperial examinations. Passing through Jinling, he met Master Ji of Baoning, heard the Dharma, and attained awakening. Thereupon he shaved his head and was ordained. Wherever he stayed, he inscribed the placename "Yesterday's Dream". In thought after thought, he reflected on the Western Direction without interruption. When Master Xiang went to Huangbo, he pulled him along to accompany him. One night, Xiang dreamed that the Master came to bid farewell, saying: "I am returning to the West," and again saw the Buddhas and bodhisattvas bestow upon him a golden pedestal. After three days, [the Master] lit incense, sat in meditation, smiled, and passed away. He had once visited Mount Wutai, where he suddenly became aware that he was following behind an assembly of bodhisattvas circumambulating the way. There were two men with purple ribbons and gold seals following behind him. The Master asked their names; a monk led him to the side of the hall to view a jade plaque inscribed in gold letters with the two names: Wang Gu and Ge Fan.
