高僧傳 1.39

1.39

輔字世偉，南陽人，張衡之後。雖有才解，而酷不以理，橫殺天水太守封尚，百姓疑駭，因亂而斬焉。管蕃亦卒以傾險致敗。後少時有一人，姓李名通，死而更蘇云：「見祖法師在閻羅王處，為王講《首楞嚴經》，云：『講竟，應往忉利天。』又見祭酒王浮，一云道士基公，次被鎖械，求祖懺悔。」昔祖平素之日，與浮每爭邪正，浮屢屈，既瞋不自忍，乃作《老子化胡經》，以誣謗佛法，殃有所歸，故死方思悔。孫綽《道賢論》以法祖匹嵆康，論云：「帛祖釁起於管蕃，中散禍作於鍾會，二賢並以俊邁之氣，昧其圖身之慮，栖心事外，輕世招患，殆不異也。」其見稱如此。

Fu, styled Shiwei, was a man of Nanyang, a descendant of Zhang Heng. Though gifted with talent and understanding, he was cruel and unreasonable, having arbitrarily slain the Grand Administrator of Tianshui, Feng Shang; the people were suspicious and terrified, and in the confusion he was beheaded. Guan Fan also ultimately perished through his own deceit and treacherous nature. Shortly thereafter, there was a man named Li Tong, who died and revived, saying: 'I saw the Dharma Master Bo Yuan in King Yama's presence, expounding the Śūraṅgama-sūtra for the king, and he said: "When the discourse is finished, he shall proceed to the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven." I also saw the Libationer Wang Fu—another source says the Daoist priest Master Ji—fettered in chains, seeking Bo Yuan to make confession.' Formerly, in ordinary times, Bo Yuan had often disputed truth and falsehood with Fu; Fu was repeatedly bested, and in his uncontrollable wrath he composed the Laozi huahu jing (Scripture on Laozi Converting the Barbarians) to slander the Buddhadharma. When the retribution came due, only after death did he think of repentance. Sun Chuo's Daoxian lun matched Fazu to Ji Kang, stating: 'Bo Yuan's disaster arose from Guan Fan, while the disaster of the Master of the Center was wrought by Zhong Hui; both worthies, with their brilliant and transcendent spirits, neglected the preservation of their persons. Lodging their minds beyond mundane matters, they held the world lightly and brought calamity upon themselves; they were scarcely different.' Such was the praise he received.
