45.63
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.
