佛祖統紀 45.63

45.63

四年。蘇軾在黃州。作趙先生舍利記言。南海有潘冕者陽狂不測。人謂之潘盎。蓋俚人謂心風為盎也。盎與京師言法華偈頌往來。言云。盎即日光佛也。有趙棠者。初為幕官。因棄仕從盎遊。盎謂盡得我道。盎既隱去。棠亦坐化。焚其屍得舍利數升。軾與棠子昶遊。得四十八粒。

In the fourth year, while in Huangzhou, Su Shi composed the 'Record of Master Zhao's Śarīra', which said: In the South Sea there was a certain Pan Mian who feigned madness in an inscrutable manner; people called him Pan Ang, for the local folk called madness ang. Ang exchanged verses and gāthās with Master Yan Fahua in the capital. Yan said, 'Ang is the Sun-Light Buddha.' There was a certain Zhao Tang who was originally a clerical assistant, but abandoned official life to follow Ang. Ang said that he had completely attained his Way. After Ang disappeared into seclusion, Tang also passed away while sitting. When his corpse was cremated, several sheng of śarīra were obtained. Shi associated with Tang's son Chang, and obtained forty-eight grains.
