高僧傳 3.43

3.43

初止鍾山道林精舍，沙門寶誌崇其禪法，沙門僧含請譯《藥王藥上觀》及《無量壽觀》，含即筆受。以此二經是轉障之祕術，淨土之洪因，故沈吟嗟味，流通宋國。平昌孟顗，承風欽敬，資給豐厚，顗出守會稽，固請不去，後移憩江陵。元嘉十九年，西遊岷蜀，處處弘道，禪學成群，後還卒於江陵，春秋六十矣。

He first stayed at the Daolin Hermitage on Mount Zhong, where the śramaṇa Baozhi revered his dhyāna teachings, and the śramaṇa Senghan requested him to translate the Sūtra on the Contemplation of the Two Bodhisattvas Bhaiṣajyarāja and Bhaiṣajyasamudgata and the Sūtra on the Contemplation of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life (Amitāyus), with Han transcribing the text by brush. Regarding these two sūtras as secret arts for transforming obstacles and vast causes for the Pure Land, he savored and reflected upon them, circulating them throughout the Song state. Meng Yi of Pingchang admired his virtue and provided him with generous supplies. When Yi went out to serve as the governor of Kuaiji, he firmly invited him to go along, but he refused; later, he moved to rest in Jiangling. In the nineteenth year of the Yuanjia era, he traveled west to Min and Shu, propagating the Way everywhere, and students of dhyāna gathered in flocks. Later, he returned and died in Jiangling at the age of sixty.
