楞嚴經疏　嘉興（秀州也）長水法師。名子璿。秀州人。初依本州洪敏法師學楞嚴經。至動靜二相了然不生有省。聞滁州瑯琊山覺禪師道望。趨往參見。及門值其陞座。遂問曰。清淨本然云何忽生山河大地。覺厲聲曰。清淨本然云何忽生山河大地。璿當下豁然大悟。擬稟嗣之。覺禪師謂之曰。汝宗不振久矣。宜勵志扶持以報佛恩。璿如教。後住長水。眾幾一千。以賢首宗教疏楞嚴經十卷。御史中丞王隨序之行于世（長水疏記）。瑯琊山廣照禪師。名慧覺。嗣汾陽昭禪師。

The Śūraṅgama Sūtra Commentary: Dharma Master Changshui, named Zixuan, of Jiaxing (which is Xiuzhou) was a native of Xiuzhou. At first, he relied on Dharma Master Hongmin of his home prefecture to study the Śūraṅgama Sūtra; when he came to the passage 'the two marks of movement and stillness are clearly unborn,' he had an awakening. Hearing of the spiritual reputation of Chan Master Jue of Mount Langya in Chuzhou, he hastened there to pay respects. Reaching the gate, he coincided with the master ascending the hall; he then asked: 'If it is fundamentally pure and so of itself, how do the mountains, rivers, and the great earth suddenly arise?' Jue said with a stern voice: 'If it is fundamentally pure and so of itself, how do the mountains, rivers, and the great earth suddenly arise?' Zixuan had a great awakening right then, and intended to receive transmission from him. Chan Master Jue said to him: 'Your school has not flourished for a long time; you should strengthen your resolve to uphold it in order to repay the Buddha's kindness.' Zixuan followed his instruction. Later, he resided at Changshui, where his followers numbered nearly a thousand. Based on the Xianshou school, he commented on the Śūraṅgama Sūtra in ten fascicles. Censor-in-Chief Wang Sui wrote a preface for it, and it was circulated in the world (Changshui shu ji). Chan Master Guangzhao of Mount Langya, named Huijue, was a Dharma heir of Chan Master Zhao of Fenyang.
