甲戌大中八年。終南山初有一僧結菴習定。一日有猴竊其伽黎衣。披而宴坐。隨有群猴皆習定坐。有脫去者今有五獼猴塔。至是宣宗御製讚曰。嗟汝獼猴能入定。心猿不動幾千春。罷攀紅樹三冬菓。休弄碧潭孤月輪。雙眼已隨青嶂合。兩眉猶對百花顰。自從坐脫終南(山名永興軍今京兆)後。悟了浮生多少人(林間錄)。
The jiaxu year, the eighth year of Dazhong. Originally, on Mount Zhongnan, a monk had built a hut to practice meditation. One day, a monkey stole his saṅghāṭī robe, put it on, and sat in quiet contemplation. Thereupon, a troop of monkeys all practiced seated meditation. Among them, some shed their mortal coils; today there are the Five Monkeys' Stupas. Coming to this time, Emperor Xuanzong personally composed a panegyric saying: / "Ah, you monkeys, able to enter samādhi! / The monkey of the mind remains motionless for how many thousands of springs? / Cease clinging to the three winter fruits of the red trees; / Rest from playing with the solitary moon wheel in the blue pool. / Your pair of eyes has closed along with the green peaks; / Your two brows still furrow toward the hundred flowers. / Ever since sitting and shedding your bodies in Zhongnan (the name of a mountain in Yongxing Army, now Jingzhao), / How many people have awakened to this fleeting life?" (from the Linjian lu).
