### [8.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.8.76)

初順之疾甚，不食多日，一時中竟忽索齋飲。弟子曇和以順絕穀日久，密以半合米雜煮以進順。順咽而還吐，索水洒漱。語和云：「汝永出雲門，不得還住。」其執節清苦皆此之類。臨終之日，房內頗聞異香，亦有見天蓋者。遺命露骸空地，以施蟲鳥。門人不忍行之，乃窆于寺側。弟子等立碑頌德，陳郡袁昂製文，法華寺釋慧舉又為之墓誌。順所著〈法事贊〉及〈受戒〉、〈弘法〉等記，皆行於世。

> Earlier, when Zhishun's illness worsened, he did not eat for many days. Once, right at midday, he suddenly asked for a fasting drink. His disciple Tanhe, because Zhishun had abstained from grain for a long time, secretly mixed half a ge of rice into the broth and offered it to Zhishun. Zhishun swallowed it but then vomited it up, asked for water to rinse his mouth, and said to He: "You must leave Yunmen forever and not dwell here again." His adherence to pure and austere discipline was entirely of this sort. On the day of his death, an extraordinary fragrance was strongly scented within his room, and some saw a heavenly canopy. His dying instruction was that his corpse be exposed in an open field to be given to insects and birds. His disciples could not bear to carry this out, so they buried him beside the temple. His disciples and others erected a stele eulogizing his virtue; Yuan Ang of Chen Commandery composed the text, and Shi Huiju of Fahua Temple also composed an epitaph for him. Zhishun's works, including the "Praise of Dharma Rites" and records on "Receiving Precepts" and "Propagating the Dharma," all circulate in the world.
