高僧傳 6.17

6.17

盧循初下據江州城，入山詣遠。遠少與循父嘏同為書生，及見循，歡然道舊，因朝夕音問。僧有諫遠者曰：「循為國寇，與之交厚，得不疑乎！」遠曰：「我佛法中情無取捨，豈不為識者所察？此不足懼。」及宋武追討盧循，設帳桑尾，左右曰：「遠公素王廬山，與循交厚。」宋武曰：「遠公世表之人，必無彼此。」乃遣使齎書致敬，并遺錢米，於是遠近方服其明見。

When Lu Xun first came down and occupied the city of Jiangzhou, he entered the mountain to visit Huiyuan. In his youth, Huiyuan had been a fellow student with Xun's father, Xia. Upon seeing Xun, he gladly conversed about the past, and consequently they exchanged inquiries day and night. A monk admonished Huiyuan, saying: 'Xun is an enemy of the state; interacting with him so warmly, could you not incur suspicion?' Huiyuan said: 'Within our Buddhadharma, the mind makes no picking and choosing; how could discerning people fail to observe this? There is nothing to fear.' When Emperor Wu of Song pursued and attacked Lu Xun, setting up his camp at Sangwei, his attendants said: 'Master Huiyuan has long held sway over Mount Lu and has close ties with Xun.' Emperor Wu of Song said: 'Master Huiyuan is a man beyond the mundane world; he certainly harbors no partiality.' He then dispatched an envoy carrying a letter to express his respect and sent gifts of money and rice. Thereupon, those far and near submitted to his clear insight.
