11.63

生時體黑,死更潔白。於是依得道法闍維之。薪𧂐始然,便有五色烟起,殊香芬馥。州將王玄載乃為之讚曰:「大覺眇無像,懸應貴忘靖。一念會道場,空過萬劫永。信心虛東想,遇聖藻西影。妙趣澄三界,傳神四禪境。俗物故參差,真性理恒炳。韜光寄浮世,遺德方化逈。」

In life his body was dark, but in death it became exceptionally white and pure. Thereupon they cremated him according to the rites for one who had attained the Way. As soon as the firewood was lit, five-colored smoke arose with an extraordinary fragrance. The provincial governor Wang Xuanzai composed a eulogy for him, saying: / 'The Great Awakened One is subtle and formless, / His profound response prizes forgotten tranquility. / In a single thought matching the bodhimaṇḍa, / Transcending in vain myriad kalpas everlasting. / With faithful heart emptying eastern musings, / Encountering the sage cleanses western reflections. / The wondrous realm purifies the three realms, / Conveying the spirit to the spheres of the four dhyānas. / Worldly things are by nature irregular, / But true nature's principle is ever bright. / Cloaking his radiance, he lodged in the floating world; / His lingering virtue now transforms what is far and wide.'
