佛祖統紀 29.18

29.18

法師法順。萬年杜氏。十八出家。師因聖僧道珍受學定法。凡世間聾瘂。遇之者必能聞能語。至於驅園圃蟲誡惡性馬。德及異類所不可測。唐太宗詔問。朕苦勞熱。師之神力何以蠲除。師曰。聖德御宇微恙奚憂。但頒大赦聖躬自安。上從之疾遂瘳。因錫號曰帝心。師每遊歷郡國勸念阿彌陀佛。著五悔文讚詠諍土。路逢神樹鬼廟即焚毀之。正觀十四年十一月十五日。坐亡於南郊義善寺。雙烏入房異香留室。塔肉身於樊川北原。有弟子謁五臺。抵山麓見老人。語曰。文殊今往終南山。杜順和上是也。弟子趨歸。師已長往。至今關中以是日作文殊忌齋。師著法界觀門一卷。妄盡還源觀一卷。專弘華嚴。以授雲華智儼。儼授賢首法藏。其教遂行（此中當有智儼法師傳。本紀原文遺失）。

Dharma Master Fashun belonged to the Du clan of Wannian. He went forth from home at the age of eighteen. The Master studied and received the method of meditation from the holy monk Daozhen. Whenever deaf or mute worldly people encountered him, they were without fail able to hear or speak. Even to driving insects from orchards and admonishing vicious horses, his virtue extended to non-human beings beyond measure. Emperor Taizong of the Tang summoned him and asked: 'We suffer from heat exhaustion. By what divine power of the Master can it be dispelled?' The Master said: 'Your Majesty's sagely virtue governs the realm; why worry over a petty ailment? Simply issue a great amnesty, and your sagely person will naturally become well.' The Sovereign followed his advice, and the illness was thereupon cured. Consequently, he bestowed upon him the title 'Heart of the Emperor' (Dixindi). The Master regularly traveled through commanderies and kingdoms urging people to recite the name of Amitābha Buddha. He composed a Fivefold Repentance text and praised the Pure Land. Whenever he came upon sacred trees or spirit shrines along the way, he burned and destroyed them. On the fifteenth day of the eleventh month in the fourteenth year of the Zhenguan era, he passed away while sitting at Yishan Monastery in the southern suburbs. A pair of birds entered his room, and an extraordinary fragrance lingered therein. His mummified body was entombed in a pagoda on the Northern Plain of Fanchuan. A disciple went to pay homage at Mount Wutai, and upon reaching the foot of the mountain met an old man who told him: 'Mañjuśrī has now gone to Mount Zhongnan; the upādhyāya Du Shun is he.' The disciple hurried back, but the Master had already passed away. Down to the present, the Guanzhong region observes a memorial vegetarian feast for Mañjuśrī on this day. The Master authored the Gate of the Contemplation of the Dharmadhātu in one fascicle, and the Contemplation of the Ending of Delusion and Returning to the Source in one fascicle, exclusively propagating the Avataṃsaka. He transmitted it to Zhiyan of Yunhua, and Zhiyan transmitted it to Fazang of Xianshou; its teaching thereupon flourished. (Here there should be a biography of Dharma Master Zhiyan, but the original text of the Basic Annals has been lost.)
