七年。中天竺三藏明友來譯大乘莊嚴論。李百藥序之云。大小乘學悉以此論為本。於此不通未可弘法○勅僧道停致敬父母○寒山子者。隱居天台之寒巖。時入國清寺。有拾得者。因豐干禪師。於赤城路側得之。可十歲。委問無家。付庫院養之。三年令知食堂。常收菜滓於竹筩。寒山若來即負而去。或長廊叫喚快活。寺僧逐罵輒撫掌大笑。閭丘胤初為台州刺史。臨途頭痛。遇豐干言。從天台國清來。為噀水治疾。須臾即愈。胤問。天台有何賢士。師曰。見之不識。識之不見。若欲見之不得取相。寒山文殊遁迹國清。拾得普賢狀如貧子。胤至郡即詣國清問豐干院。僧道翹引至空房。多見虎迹云。禪師在日唯舂米供眾。夜則唱歌自樂。又問寒山拾得引至竈。前見二人向火大笑。胤前禮拜。二人喝胤曰。豐干饒舌彌陀不識。禮我何為。二人即把手而笑。走向寒巖更不返寺。胤乃令道翹於村墅人家屋壁竹石之上。錄歌詩三百餘首傳於世云。

In the seventh year, the Tripiṭaka Master from Central India, *Prabhāmitra (Mingyou), came and translated the Mahāyāna-sūtrālaṃkāra. Li Baiyao's preface to it states: 'The studies of both the Great and Lesser Vehicles all take this treatise as their foundation; if one does not master this, one cannot propagate the Dharma.' An edict ordered monks and Daoists to cease paying homage to their parents. As for Master Hanshan, he lived in seclusion at the Cold Rock of Tiantai, occasionally entering Guoqing Monastery. As for Shide, Chan Master Fenggan found him by the roadside at Chicheng; he was about ten years old. Upon inquiry, he had no family, so he was committed to the storehouse compound to be reared. Three years later, he was put in charge of the refectory. He regularly collected leftover vegetables in a bamboo tube; when Hanshan came, he would carry it away on his back. Sometimes they would shout and carouse along the long corridors; when the monastery monks chased and scolded them, they would always clap their hands and laugh loudly. When Lüqiu Yin was first appointed Prefect of Taizhou, he suffered a headache along the road. He met Fenggan, who said that he came from Guoqing on Tiantai and treated his illness by spurting water; in an instant, he was cured. Yin asked, 'What worthy scholars are there in Tiantai?' The Master said, 'If you see them, you will not recognize them; if you recognize them, you will not see them. If you wish to see them, you must not grasp at appearances. Hanshan is Mañjuśrī hiding his traces in Guoqing; Shide is Samantabhadra, appearing like a beggar.' When Yin arrived in the prefecture, he promptly went to Guoqing and inquired after Fenggan's courtyard. The monk Daoqiao led him to the empty room, where many tiger tracks were seen. It was said, 'When the Chan Master was alive, he only hulled rice to supply the assembly; at night, he would sing songs to amuse himself.' He then inquired after Hanshan and Shide, and was led to the hearth. Before it, he saw the two facing the fire and laughing heartily. Yin stepped forward and bowed down in homage. The two shouted at Yin, saying, 'Fenggan has a wagging tongue! If you do not recognize Amitābha, what is the use of bowing to us?' The two held hands and laughed, ran toward Cold Rock, and never returned to the monastery. Yin then ordered Daoqiao to transcribe more than three hundred of their poems from the walls, rocks, and bamboos of village cottages and households, which were transmitted to the world.
