42.35

四年。勅杭州鹽官齊安禪師院。賜名齊豐寺。初帝為光王。武宗忌之。拘於後苑。將見殺。中官仇士良詐稱光王墜馬死。因脫身遁去。至香嚴閑禪師會下。剃髮作沙彌。同遊廬山。閑師題瀑布云。穿雲透石不辭勞。遠地方知出處高。閑方停思。沙彌續之云。溪㵎豈能留得住。終歸大海作波濤。閑始知非常人。後至鹽官海昌見齊安禪師。自稱有光。安奇之。即命為書記。時黃檗運禪師為首座。一日拜佛光。問之曰。不著佛求用禮何為。運便掌。又問。不著佛求常作如是事。運又掌。光曰。太粗生。運又掌。曰者裏說恁麼粗細。安師一朝謂之曰。時節至矣。毋滯蟠泥。乃以佛法為囑。未幾武宗崩。百官迎王即位。屢遣使以師禮召安。安力辭。及終勅諡悟空禪師。上賜黃檗為粗行禪師。裴休奏改為斷際（雪竇頌黃檗云大中天子曾輕觸。三度親遭弄爪牙。是也）○日本國遣沙門常曉。入中國求釋迦密教。

In the fourth year, the courtyard of Chan Master Qi'an of Yanguan in Hangzhou was granted the name Qifeng Monastery by imperial decree. Earlier, when the Emperor was the Prince of Guang, Emperor Wuzong harbored jealousy toward him and confined him to the rear garden, intending to have him killed. The eunuch Qiu Shiliang falsely claimed that the Prince of Guang had died falling from a horse, whereupon [the prince] escaped and fled. He arrived in the assembly of Chan Master Xiangyan Xian, shaved his head, and became a novice. They traveled together to Mount Lu. Master Xian inscribed a poem on a waterfall: 'Piercing clouds and penetrating rock, it spares no toil; / Only from afar is it known that its source is high.' As Xian paused in thought, the novice continued it: 'How could mountain brooks and ravines retain it? / In the end it returns to the great ocean to raise billows.' Xian only then realized he was no ordinary man. Later he arrived at Haichang in Yanguan and met Chan Master Qi'an, calling himself Youguang. An marveled at him and at once appointed him as scribe. At that time, Chan Master Huangbo Yun was the chief seat. One day, [the prince] saw [Huangbo] bowing to the Buddha; Guang questioned him, saying, 'One does not seek through the Buddha; why make use of bowing?' Yun gave him a slap. He asked again, 'If one does not seek through the Buddha, why constantly do such a thing?' Yun slapped him again. Guang said, 'How excessively coarse!' Yun slapped him once more, saying, 'What coarseness or fineness is there to talk about here?' One day Master An said to him, 'The time has arrived; do not linger coiled in the mud.' He then entrusted him with the Buddhadharma. Before long, Emperor Wuzong passed away, and the hundred officials welcomed the Prince to ascend the throne. Repeatedly he sent emissaries to summon An with the rites of a teacher, but An firmly declined. Upon his passing, he was posthumously granted the title Chan Master Wukong. The Emperor conferred upon Huangbo the title 'Chan Master of Coarse Conduct.' Pei Xiu memorialized to have it changed to 'Duanji' (Xuedou's verse on Huangbo says: 'The Emperor of the Dazhong era once brushed against him lightly, / And thrice directly suffered his brandishing of claws and fangs'—this refers to this). The State of Japan dispatched the śramaṇa Jōgyō to enter the Central Kingdom to seek the esoteric teachings of Śākya.
