高僧傳 5.33

5.33

翼嘗隨安在檀溪寺，晉長沙太守騰含，於江陵捨宅為寺。告安求一僧為綱領，安謂翼曰：「荊楚士庶，始欲師宗，成其化者，非爾而誰！」翼遂杖錫南征，締構寺宇，即長沙寺是也。後互賊越逸，侵掠漢南，江陵闔境，避難上明，翼又於彼立寺。群寇既盪，復還江陵，修復長沙寺。丹誠祈請，遂感舍利，盛以金瓶，置于齋座。翼乃頂禮立誓曰：「若必是金剛餘蔭，願放光明。」至于中夜，有五色光彩從瓶漸出，照滿一堂。舉眾驚嗟，莫不以翼神感。當于爾時，雖復富蘭等見，亦迴偽歸真也。

Yi once accompanied Dao'an at Tanxi Temple. Teng Han, the Jin grand administrator of Changsha, relinquished his residence in Jiangling to make it a temple. He asked Dao'an for a monk to serve as its leader. Dao'an said to Yi: "The scholar-officials and commoners of the Jing-Chu region are just beginning to seek a master; who else but you can accomplish their conversion?" Yi then took up his staff and went south to establish the temple buildings; this was Changsha Temple. Later, when the wandering bandit Hu Yueyi invaded and plundered the south of the Han River, the entire territory of Jiangling took refuge at Shangming, and Yi founded a temple there as well. Once the band of brigands was cleared away, he returned to Jiangling and restored Changsha Temple. Through his sincere prayers, he was eventually blessed with the response of a relic, which was placed in a golden flask upon the fasting seat. Yi then bowed with his head to the ground and made a vow, saying: "If this is truly a surviving trace of the Diamond One, may it emit light." When midnight came, a five-colored radiance gradually emerged from the flask and filled the entire hall with light. The whole congregation was amazed and sighed, and all attributed it to Yi's spiritual efficacy. At that time, even those with views like those of Pūraṇa [Kāśyapa] abandoned error and returned to truth.
