高僧傳 5.43

5.43

竺法曠，姓睪，下邳人，寓居吳興，早失二親，事後母以孝聞。家貧無蓄，常躬耕壟畔，以供色養。及母亡，行喪盡禮，服闋出家，事沙門竺曇印為師。印明叡有道行，曠師事竭誠，迄受具戒。棲風立操，卓爾殊群，履素安業，志行淵深。印嘗疾病危篤，曠乃七日七夜祈誠禮懺，至第七日，忽見五色光明照印房戶，印如覺有人以手按之，所苦遂愈。

Zhu Fakuang, whose secular surname was Gao, was a native of Xiapi who resided in Wuxing. Having lost both parents early, he was known for his filial piety in serving his stepmother. His family was poor with no savings, and he often tilled the fields personally along the dikes to provide for her with a cheerful countenance. When his mother died, he conducted the mourning with complete propriety. After the mourning period ended, he left the household and served the śramaṇa Zhu Tanyin as his master. Yin was bright and discerning, with virtuous practice; Kuang served him with utter sincerity until he received full ordination. His demeanor and conduct were lofty, standing out far above the crowd; he lived simply and was content in his vocation, with profound aspiration and conduct. Once when Yin was critically ill, Kuang prayed with sincere repentance for seven days and seven nights; on the seventh day, a five-colored light suddenly appeared shining upon the door of Yin's chamber, and Yin felt as though someone were pressing on him with a hand, whereupon his ailment was cured.
