15.7

（四　子亥）　荊州城東天皇道悟禪師。協律郎符載撰碑。其略云。姓張氏。婺州東陽人。十四出家。依明州大德祝髮。二十五受戒於杭州竹林寺。初參國一服勤五年。大曆十一年隱于大梅山。建中初謁江西馬祖。二年參石頭。乃大悟。遂隱當陽紫陵山。後於荊南城東有天皇寺。頃因火廢。僧靈鑑將謀修復。乃曰。苟得悟禪師為化主必能福我。時江陵尹右僕射裴公稽首問法。致禮迎至。師素不迎送。客無貴賤皆坐而揖之。裴愈加敬。石頭之道貽盛于此。師患背痛。臨終大眾問疾。師驀召典座近前。師曰。會麼。對曰。不會。師拈枕子拋於地上。即便告寂。壽六十。坐三十五夏。法嗣三世。曰惠真。曰幽間。曰文賁。實元和二年四月十三日也。

(4. Zihai [807]) Chan Master Daowu of Tianhuang [Monastery] east of Jingzhou city. The harmonizer of the pitch-pipes Fu Zai wrote his stele inscription, which roughly says: His surname was Zhang, and he was a native of Dongyang in Wuzhou. He left home (pravrajyā) at the age of fourteen, shaving his head under a Venerable in Mingzhou. At twenty-five, he received the precepts at Zhulin Monastery in Hangzhou. At first he studied under Guoyi, serving him with diligence for five years. In the eleventh year of Dali, he lived in seclusion on Mount Damei. In the early Jianzhong era, he visited Mazu in Jiangxi, and in the second year, he studied under Shitou and attained great awakening. He then lived in seclusion on Mount Ziling in Dangyang. Later, east of the city of Jingnan was Tianhuang Monastery, which had recently been ruined by fire. The monk Lingjian planned to restore it, saying: “If we can get Master [Dao]wu to be the converting abbot, it will surely bring us good fortune.” At that time, the prefect of Jiangling and Right Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs, Lord Pei, bowed and inquired about the Dharma, sending respectful invitations to bring him. The master was not accustomed to welcoming or seeing off visitors; whether guests were noble or lowly, he merely sat and bowed with folded hands. Pei respected him all the more. The way of Shitou flourished here through him. The master suffered from back pain. Nearing the end, the assembly inquired about his illness. The master abruptly summoned the superintendent of meals to step forward, and asked: “Do you understand?” He replied: “I do not understand.” The master took his pillow, threw it to the ground, and thereupon announced his passing. He lived to sixty, with thirty-five summer retreats. His Dharma heirs spanned three generations: Huizhen, Youxian, and Wenben. This was indeed on the thirteenth day of the fourth month in the second year of Yuanhe.
