高僧傳 12.60

12.60

釋慧彌，姓楊氏，弘農華陰人。漢太尉震之後裔也。年十六出家。及具戒之後，志修遠離，迺入長安終南山。巖谷險絕，軌迹莫至，彌負錫獨前，猛虎肅兕無擾。少誦《大品》，又精修三昧，於是剪茅結宇，以為栖神之宅。時至則持鉢入村，食竟則還室禪誦，如此者八年。

Śramaṇa Huimi, surnamed Yang, was a native of Huayin in Hongnong, and a descendant of the Han Grand Commandant Yang Zhen. At the age of sixteen, he went forth from the household. After receiving full ordination, his resolve was to cultivate seclusion; he then entered the Zhongnan Mountains in Chang'an. The crags and valleys were precipitous and inaccessible, untrodden by human tracks. Mi, carrying his tin staff, ventured forth alone, unmolested by fierce tigers and majestic rhinoceroses. In his youth he recited the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra and also diligently cultivated samādhi. Thereupon he cut reeds to build a hut to serve as an abode to rest his spirit. When the time arrived, he would hold his bowl and enter the village; when his meal was done, he returned to his room for dhyāna and recitation. He did this for eight years.
