高僧傳 6.43

6.43

永貞素自然，清心剋己，言常含笑，語不傷物，耽好經典，善於講說，蔬食布衣，率以終歲。又別立一茅室於嶺上，每欲禪思，輒往居焉。時有至房者，並聞殊香之氣。永屋中常有一虎，人或畏者，輒驅令上山，人去後，還復馴伏。永嘗出邑，薄晚還山，至烏橋。烏橋營主醉，騎馬當道，遮永不聽去。日時向晚，永以杖遙指馬，馬即驚走，營主倒地，永捧慰還營，因爾致疾。明晨往寺，向永悔過。永曰：「非貧道本意，恐戒神所為耳。」白黑聞知，歸心者眾矣。

Huiyong was upright and simple by nature, pure of mind and self-restrained; whenever he spoke he smiled, and his words never harmed living beings. He was devoted to the scriptures, skilled at lecturing, and lived on vegetarian food and coarse cloth throughout the entire year. He also separately built a thatched hut on the mountain ridge; whenever he wished to engage in dhyāna contemplation, he went to reside there. Occasionally when someone arrived at his room, they all smelled an extraordinary fragrance. In Huiyong's room there was always a tiger; whenever someone was afraid, he would drive it to go up the mountain; after the visitor left, it would return and submit tamely once more. Huiyong once went out to town and returned to the mountain toward dusk, reaching Wu Bridge. The commander of the Wu Bridge garrison was drunk, riding a horse across the middle of the road and blocking Huiyong from passing. The day was drawing toward evening; Huiyong pointed his staff at the horse from afar, and the horse immediately bolted in fright, throwing the commander to the ground. Huiyong carried and comforted him back to the camp, where the commander subsequently fell ill. The next morning he went to the temple to repent his fault to Huiyong. Huiyong said: 'It was not this poor monk's original intention; I fear it was the doing of the precept-protecting deities.' Both monastics and laity heard of this, and those who took refuge in him were numerous.
