高僧傳 5.20

5.20

竺僧朗，京兆人也。少而遊方，問道長，還關中，專當講說。嘗與數人同共赴請，行至中途，忽告同輩曰：「君等寺中衣物，似有竊者。」如言即反，果有盜焉，由其相語，故得無失。朗常蔬食布衣，志耽人外。以偽秦符健皇始元年移卜泰山，與隱士張忠為林下之契，每共遊處。忠後為符堅所徵，行至華陰山而卒。朗乃於金輿谷崑崙山中別立精舍，猶是泰山西北之一巖也。峯岫高險，水石宏壯。朗創築房室，製窮山美，內外屋宇數十餘區。聞風而造者百有餘人，朗孜孜訓誘，勞不告倦。

Zhu Senglang was a native of Jingzhao. In his youth he traveled widely, inquiring about the Way as he grew older; upon returning to Guanzhong, he devoted himself to preaching and expounding. Once, when he went with several others to answer an invitation, half-way there he suddenly told his companions: "The clothing and possessions in your temple seem to be targeted by a thief." Returning as he said, they indeed found a thief; thanks to his warning, nothing was lost. Lang constantly ate plain vegetables, wore coarse cloth, and set his will beyond worldly matters. In the first year of Huangshi of Fu Jian of the illegitimate Qin [Dynasty], he moved to Mount Tai, where he formed a bond in the forest with the recluse Zhang Zhong, frequently roaming and staying together. Zhong was later summoned by Fu Jian, but died on reaching Mount Huayin. Lang then established a separate hermitage in Mount Kunlun in Jinyu Valley, which was one of the northwest crags of Mount Tai. Its peaks were high and perilous, its waters and rocks grand and majestic. Lang constructed dwellings, exhausting the natural beauties of the mountain, with more than several tens of rooms inside and out. More than a hundred people came, drawn by his renown, and Lang instructed and guided them diligently, never complaining of weariness.
