### [7.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.50)

至年十歲出家，學不從師，悟自天發。後隨父之樊、鄧，遇見關中僧䂮道人，忽喚䂮名。䂮曰：「童子何以呼宿老名？」諦曰：「向者忽言阿上，是諦沙彌，為眾僧採菜，被野猪所傷，不覺失聲耳。」䂮經為弘覺法師弟子，為僧採菜，被野猪所傷。䂮初不憶此，迺詣諦父。諦父具說本末，并示書鎮、麈尾等。䂮迺悟而泣曰：「即先師弘覺法師也。師經為姚萇講《法華》，貧道為都講，姚萇餉師二物，今遂在此。」追計弘覺捨命，正是寄物之日，復憶採菜之事，彌深悲仰。

> When he was ten years old, he underwent pravrajyā; in his study he did not follow a master, but his awakening arose naturally. Later, accompanying his father to Fan and Deng, he happened to meet the monk Chaodao from the Guanzhong region and suddenly called out Chao's name. Chao said, "Why does a young boy call out the name of an elder?" Tandi said, "Just now, I suddenly blurted out 'Upādhyāya!' It was when I, the novice Tandi, was gathering vegetables for the saṃgha and was injured by a wild boar; I inadvertently cried out, that is all." Chao had previously been a disciple of Dharma Master Hongjue and, while gathering vegetables for the saṃgha, had indeed been injured by a wild boar. Chao did not remember this at first, so he went to Tandi's father. Tandi's father recounted the circumstances in full and showed him the paperweights, fly-whisk, and other objects. Chao then realized and wept, saying, "He is indeed my late teacher, Dharma Master Hongjue. My teacher once lectured on the Lotus Sūtra for Yao Chang, and I served as the chief respondent (dujiang); Yao Chang gifted my teacher two items, and now they are actually here!" Calculating back to when Hongjue relinquished his life, it was precisely the day the items were entrusted. Chao also remembered the matter of gathering vegetables, and his sorrow and reverence deepened all the more.
