高僧傳 10.71

10.71

誌知名顯奇四十餘載，士女恭事者數不可稱。至天監十三年冬，於臺後堂謂人曰：「菩薩將去。」未及旬日，無疾而終。屍骸香軟，形貌熙悅。臨亡然一燭，以付後閣舍人吳慶。慶即啟聞。上歎曰：「大師不復留矣。燭者，將以後事屬我乎？」因厚加殯送，葬于鍾山獨龍之阜。仍於墓所立開善精舍。勅陸倕製銘辭於塚內，王筠勒碑文於寺門。傳其遺像，處處存焉。

Zhi was renowned and manifested wonders for more than forty years, and the men and women who reverently served him were beyond count. In the winter of the thirteenth year of Tianjian, he said to someone in the rear hall of the palace: 'The bodhisattva is about to depart.' Before ten days had passed, he died without illness. His corpse was fragrant and pliable, and his countenance cheerful and delighted. Facing death, he lit a candle and handed it to the attendant of the rear chamber Wu Qing. Qing immediately reported it. The Emperor sighed: 'The Great Master will not remain any longer! As for the candle, does he entrust future affairs to me?' He therefore provided a lavish funeral and buried him on the Dulong mound of Mount Zhong. A Kaishan Cloister was further established at the tomb site. Lu Chui was ordered by imperial decree to compose an inscription inside the tomb, and Wang Yun carved an epitaph at the temple gate. His portrait was transmitted and preserved in many places.
