佛祖統紀 9.57

9.57

王固。字子堅。陳光大初為侍中。進金紫光祿大夫。終身不茹葷。夜則坐禪晝誦佛典。嘗聘魏。因宴饗請停殺一羊。羊至固前。跪拜若謝。又宴昆明池。魏以南人嗜魚。大設網罟。固以佛法禁之。一鱗不獲。大師講法華於瓦官。固預法會。即坐開悟。宛同宿學。

Wang Gu, courtesy name Zijian, served as Palace Attendant at the beginning of the Guangda era of the Chen and was promoted to Jinzi Grand Master for Splendid Happiness. Throughout his life he never ate meat; by night he sat in meditation, and by day he chanted Buddhist scriptures. He once went on an embassy to the Wei. During a banquet, he requested that the slaughter of a sheep be halted; the sheep came before Gu and knelt down as if giving thanks. Furthermore, at a banquet by Lake Kunming, because southerners relish fish, the Wei set out many large nets; Gu restrained them with the Buddha-Dharma, and not a single scale was caught. When the Great Master lectured on the Lotus at Waguan, Gu joined the Dharma assembly; he was awakened upon his very seat, appearing just like one who had studied it in past lives.
