高僧傳 11.80

11.80

然禪用為顯，屬在神通。故使三千宅乎毛孔，四海結為凝酥；過石壁而無壅，擎大眾而弗遺。及夫悠悠世道，碌碌仙術。尚能停波止雨，呪火燒國，正復玄高逝而更起，道法坐而從化，焉足異哉？若如欝頭藍弗，竟為禽獸所惱；獨角仙人，終為扇陀所亂。皆由心道雖攝，而與愛見相應。比夫螢爝之於日月，曾是為匹乎？

Yet when the application of dhyāna becomes manifest, it pertains to spiritual penetrations. Thus, it can cause the three thousand[-fold world system] to abide within a single pore, and the four seas to curdle into ghee; one can pass through stone walls without hindrance, and lift the great multitude without dropping anyone. Even with the drifting ways of the world and mediocre immortal arts, one can still halt waves, stop rain, or chant mantras to ignite fires that incinerate kingdoms. If then Xuan’gao died and arose again, or Daofa sat and passed away, how could that be considered strange? If one is like Udraka-Rāmaputra, who was ultimately harassed by birds and beasts, or the Single-Horned Immortal, who was in the end corrupted by Śāntā, it is all because although their mental path was restrained, it was still conjoined with craving and views. Compared to a firefly's torch set against the sun and moon, could they ever be equals?
