高僧傳 10.52

10.52

釋僧慧，姓劉，不知何許人。在荊州數十年。南陽劉虬立陟屺寺，請以居之。時人見之已五六十年，終亦不老。舉止趨爾，無甚威儀。往至病人家，若瞋者必死，喜者必差，時咸以此為讖。凡未相識者，並悉其親表存亡。慧嘗至江邊，告津吏求度。吏迫以舟小，未及過之。須臾已見慧在彼，兩岸諸人咸歎神異。中山甄恬、南平車曇同日請慧。慧皆赴之。後兩家檢覆，方知分身。

Shi Senghui was surnamed Liu, and it is unknown where he came from. He lived in Jingzhou for several decades. Liu Qiu of Nanyang built Zhiqi Temple and invited him to dwell there. The people of the time had seen him for fifty or sixty years, yet in the end he never aged. His deportment was brisk and casual, without much dignified demeanor. When he visited a sick person's home, if he looked angry they were sure to die, and if joyful they were sure to recover; the people of the time all took this as an omen. Of all those he had not yet met, he fully knew whether their relatives and cousins were alive or dead. Hui once came to the riverbank and told the ferry warden that he sought to cross. The warden, pressed because the boat was small, had not yet ferried him across. In an instant, people already saw Hui on the other side; everyone on both banks marveled at his spiritual wonder. Zhen Tian of Zhongshan and Che Tan of Nanping invited Hui on the same day. Hui attended both. Later, when the two families investigated, they realized he had bilocated.
