高僧傳 3.11: 釋曇無竭

3.11

釋曇無竭，此云法勇，姓李，幽州黃龍人也。幼為沙彌，便修苦行，持戒誦經，為師僧所重。嘗聞法顯等躬踐佛國，乃慨然有忘身之誓。遂以宋永初元年，招集同志沙門僧猛，曇朗之徒二十五人，共齎幡蓋供養之具，發跡北土，遠適西方。

Shi Tanwujie, here translated as Fayong, had the surname Li and was a native of Huanglong in Youzhou. When he was young as a novice, he practiced austerities, maintained the precepts, and chanted the sūtras, being held in high regard by his master and the saṃgha. Having heard that Faxian and others had personally trodden the Buddha-lands, he sighed with emotion and made a vow to disregard his own life. Thus, in the first year of the Yongchu era of the Song, he gathered together twenty-five like-minded śramaṇas such as Sengmeng and Tanlang, and together bearing banners, canopies, and offering paraphernalia, they set out from the northern lands and traveled far to the west.
