律師靈澈　字源澄。居越州雲門寺。一時公卿負才望。若劉長卿嚴維皇甫曾皆投刺結友。澈詩與皎然僧標齊名。澈著律宗行源二十一卷。蚤遊京師。聲譽顯著。終老于越焉。相國權德輿作序餞之。有觀其容鑒其詞知其心不待境靜而靜之之語。憲宗元和十一年入滅。有文集二十卷。尚書劉禹錫為序。後人稱之曰。越之澈洞氷雪（本傳）。

Vinaya Master Lingche: His style name was Yuancheng. He resided at Yunmen Monastery in Yuezhou. For a time, ministers and dignitaries of talent and prestige, such as Liu Changqing, Yan Wei, and Huangfu Zeng, all presented their visiting cards and formed friendships with him. Che's poetry was equally famous with that of Jiaoran and Sengbiao. Che composed the Lüzong xingyuan (Sources of Vinaya School Practice) in twenty-one fascicles. In his youth he traveled to the capital, his reputation resplendent, and he ended his days in Yue. Prime Minister Quan Deyu composed a preface to see him off, in which were the words: 'Observing his countenance and examining his words, one knows that his mind does not wait for quiet surroundings to be quiet.' He entered extinction in the eleventh year of Yuanhe of Xianzong. He had a literary collection of twenty fascicles, prefaced by Minister Liu Yuxi. Later generations praised him, saying: 'Che of Yue was penetrating as ice and snow' (Benguan).
