藤蘿尊者 溫州瑞安本寂禪院僧無繹。因武宗會昌沙汰隱於東北谷。結庵禪定。閱十年藤蘿纏繞。儼然不動。人號之藤蘿尊者。後人立嗣至今奉祀之(出永寧編)。

Venerable Vine. The monk Wuyi of Benji Chan Cloister in Ru'an, Wenzhou, because of Emperor Wuzong's Huichang purge, concealed himself in the northeast valley. He built a hut and sat in meditation. After ten years had passed, wisteria vines were wrapped around him, yet he remained solemnly unmoved. People called him "Venerable Vine." Later generations established a line of successors and to this day offer sacrifices to him (from the Yongning bian).
