高僧傳 10.55

10.55

釋慧通，不知何許人也。宋元嘉中，見在壽春，衣服趨爾，寢宿無定，遊歷村里，飲讌食噉不異恒人。常自稱鄭散騎，言未然之事，頗時有驗。江陵有邊僧歸者，遊賈壽春。將應反鄉，路值慧通，稱欲寄物。僧歸時自負重擔，固以致辭。遂強置擔上，而了不覺重。行數里，便別去，謂僧歸曰：「我有姊。在江陵作尼，名惠緒，住三層寺，君可為我相聞，道尋欲往。」言訖忽然不見。顧視擔上，所寄物亦失。

Shi Huitong—it is unknown where he came from. During the Yuanjia reign of the Song, he was seen in Shouchun; his clothing was hurried and casual, his lodging unfixed, and he roamed through villages and hamlets, drinking, feasting, and eating no differently from ordinary people. He constantly called himself Cavalier Attendant Zheng, speaking of future events, which were quite often verified. In Jiangling there was a man named Bian Senggui who traveled for trade in Shouchun. When about to return home, he met Huitong on the road, who said he wished to entrust an item to him. Senggui was carrying a heavy burden himself at the time and firmly declined. Huitong then forcibly placed it on the carrying pole, yet it was not felt to be heavy at all. After walking several miles, they parted, and Huitong said to Senggui: 'I have an elder sister who is a nun in Jiangling, named Huixu, residing at Sanceng Temple; could you send word to her for me, saying that I wish to visit soon?' Having spoken, he suddenly vanished. Looking back at the carrying pole, the entrusted item was also gone.
