高僧傳 12.41

12.41

釋慧慶，廣陵人。出家止廬山寺。學通經律，清潔有戒行。誦《法華》、《十地》、《思益》、《維摩》，每夜吟諷，常聞闇中有彈指讚歎之聲。嘗於小雷遇風波，船將覆沒，慶唯誦經不輟，覺船在浪中，如有人牽之，倏忽至岸。於是篤厲彌勤。宋元嘉末卒，春秋六十有二。

Shi Huiqing was a native of Guangling. He left household life and stayed at the temple on Mount Lu. He was learned in both the sūtras and vinaya, pure and upright in his preceptual conduct. He recited the Lotus, the Daśabhūmika, the Viśeṣacintā, and the Vimalakīrti. Whenever he chanted at night, the sound of snapping fingers and praise was always heard in the darkness. Once at Xiaolei he encountered wind and waves, and the boat was about to capsize. Huiqing merely recited sūtras without cease, and felt the boat amid the waves as if someone were pulling it, arriving at the shore in an instant. Thereupon he urged himself on with even greater diligence. He died toward the end of the Yuanjia reign period of the Song, at the age of sixty-two.
