43.23

陳摶居華山。錢若水未第去謁之。摶邀入山齋。見老僧擁納附火。若水揖之。僧開目而已。坐久摶問。何如。僧曰。無仙骨法。若水退摶戒之曰。三日後可復來。如期而往。摶曰。始吾見子神觀清粹。謂可以學仙。故請決於老僧。僧言。他無仙骨。但可作貴公卿。於急流中勇退耳。問僧何人。摶曰。吾師麻衣道者也（湘山野錄○洞微志中云。僧是白閤道者宗裔）○沙門建盛自西竺還。詣闕進貝葉梵經。同梵僧曼殊室利偕來。室利者中天竺王子也。詔館於相國寺。持律甚精。都人施財盈屋。並無所用○勅高品張從信。往益州雕大藏經板。

When Chen Tuan resided on Mount Hua, Qian Ruoshui went to visit him before he had passed the examinations. Tuan invited him into his mountain study, where he saw an old monk wrapped in a patched robe sitting near the fire. Ruoshui bowed to him, but the monk merely opened his eyes. After sitting for a long time, Tuan asked, 'How is he?' The monk said, 'He has no frame for the bones of an immortal.' Ruoshui withdrew, and Tuan cautioned him, saying, 'You may return after three days.' When he went as appointed, Tuan said: 'At first, seeing that your spirit and demeanor were pure and unblemished, I thought you could study immortality, so I sought a determination from the old monk. The monk said that you lack the bones of an immortal, but may become a noble minister of state, bravely retiring mid-stream.' When asked who the monk was, Tuan said: 'He is my teacher, the Daoist of the Hemp-Clothed [Master]' (Xiangshan yelu; the Dongwei zhi states that the monk was the Daoist of the Baige [Monastery], Zongyi). / The śramaṇa Jiansheng returned from Western Tianzhu, proceeded to the imperial court, and presented palm-leaf Sanskrit sūtras. He arrived accompanied by the Indian monk Mañjuśrī. This Śrī was a prince of Central Tianzhu. By imperial decree he was lodged at Xiangguo Temple; he held to the vinaya with great precision. The people of the capital bestowed wealth upon him until it filled the room, yet he made no use of it at all. / An imperial decree commanded the High-ranking Attendant Zhang Congxin to go to Yizhou to carve the printing blocks for the Great Tripiṭaka.
