高僧傳 2.51

2.51

蒙遜有從弟沮渠安陽矦者，為人強志疎通，涉獵書記。因讖入河西，弘闡佛法，安陽乃閱意內典，奉持五禁，所讀眾經，即能諷誦，常以為務學多聞，大士之盛業。少時，求法度流沙，至于闐，於瞿摩帝大寺遇天竺法師佛馱斯那，諮問道義。斯那本學大乘，天才秀發，誦半億偈，明了禪法，故西方諸國。號為「人中師子」。安陽從受《禪祕要治病經》，因其梵本，口誦通利。既而東歸向邑，於高昌。得《觀世音》、《彌勒》二觀經各一卷。及還河西，即譯出《禪要》，轉為晉文。及偽魏吞併西涼，乃南奔于宋，晦志卑身，不交人世，常遊塔寺，以居士身畢世。

Mengxun had a paternal cousin, the Marquis of Anyang, Juqu Anyang. By nature resolute and open-minded, he had dipped into books and records. Because Dharmakṣema entered Hexi and propagated the Buddhadharma, Anyang turned his attention to the inner scriptures, upheld the five precepts, and was able to recite aloud whatever sūtras he read. He always considered devotion to learning and broad listening to be the magnificent work of a Great Being. In his youth, seeking the Dharma, he crossed the shifting sands and reached Khotan, where at the great Gomati Monastery he met the Indian Dharma Master Buddhasena and inquired about the principles of the Way. Sena originally studied the Mahāyāna, possessed outstanding natural talent, recited half a hundred million verses, and clearly understood dhyāna methods; hence the various western countries called him the "Lion Among Men." Anyang received the Chan miyao zhibing jing from him, and relying on its Sanskrit text, recited it fluently from memory. Soon afterward he returned east toward his home town, and in Gaochang obtained one fascicle each of the two contemplation sūtras, Guanyin and Mile. When he returned to Hexi, he immediately translated the Chan yao, rendering it into the Jin language. When the illegitimate Wei annexed Western Liang, he fled south to the Song. Concealing his ambitions and humbling himself, he did not mingle with the secular world, but constantly visited stupas and temples, ending his days as an upāsaka.
