（癸丑）　大通五年。義烏雙林大士者。姓傅氏名翕法號善惠。年十六納劉氏女妙光為室。生二子普建普願。甞有西域沙門嵩頭陀者。見大士曰。吾與汝毘婆尸佛所同發誓。今兜率宮衣鉢現在。何日當歸。因命臨水觀其影見圓光寶蓋。大士笑謂之曰。爐鞴之所多純錢。良醫之門足病人。度生為急何思彼樂乎。居無幾常見釋迦金粟定光三如來放光襲其身。大士喜曰。吾得首楞嚴三昧。即舍田宅及賣妻子。得錢五萬以設法施會。遂於松山之頂。因雙檮樹剏寺而居。故名雙林。日自營作夜則行道。有偈云。空手把鋤頭。步行騎水牛。人從橋上過。橋流水不流。復一日於山頂。繞連理雙樹行道。感七佛相隨。釋迦前引維摩接後。唯釋尊頻顧大士共語。由是異迹日顯。是年正月十五日。遣弟子傅暀致書於朝。其辭曰。

(Kuichou) In the fifth year of Datong, the Great Being (Mahāsattva) of Shuanglin in Yiwu was surnamed Fu, named Xi, and had the Dharma title Shanhui. At the age of sixteen, he took Liu Miaoguang as his wife, and had two sons, Pujian and Puyan. There was once a Western Regions śramaṇa, the dhūta Song, who met the Great Being and said, 'You and I took a vow together in the presence of Vipaśyin Buddha. Now the robes and bowl are present in Tuṣita Palace; on what day will you return?' He then bade him approach the water and look at his reflection, whereupon he saw a halo and a jeweled canopy. The Great Being smiled and said to him, 'Where the furnace and bellows are, there are many pure coins; at the gate of a skilled physician, patients abound. Saving living beings is urgent; why yearn for that bliss?' Before long, he frequently saw the three Tathāgatas—Śākyamuni, Suvarṇaprabhāsa, and Dīpaṃkara—emitting light that enveloped his body. The Great Being rejoiced and said, 'I have attained the Śūraṅgama Samādhi.' He then renounced his fields and residence and sold his wife and children, obtaining fifty thousand cash to stage an assembly of Dharma-giving. Thereupon, atop Mount Song, by twin tulu trees, he founded a monastery and dwelt there, hence named Shuanglin ('Twin Groves'). By day he worked and by night he practiced the Path. He composed a verse: 'Empty-handed, holding a hoe; / Walking on foot, riding a water buffalo. / A person passes over the bridge; / The bridge flows, but the water does not flow.' Another day, while circumambulating the intertwined twin trees on the mountain peak practicing the Path, he moved the Seven Buddhas to follow him, with Śākyamuni leading in front and Vimalakīrti following behind; only the Bhagavān Śākyamuni frequently looked back and conversed with the Great Being. From this, his extraordinary signs became increasingly evident. On the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, he sent his disciple Fu Wang to deliver a letter to the court. Its text read:
