高僧傳 9.18

9.18

石邃荒酒，將圖為逆，謂內竪曰：「和上神通，儻發吾謀，明日來者，當先除之。」澄月望將入覲虎，謂弟子僧慧曰：「昨夜天神呼我曰：『明日若入，還勿過人。』我儻有所過，汝當止我。」澄常入必過邃。邃知澄入，要候甚苦。澄將上南臺，僧慧引衣。澄曰：「事不得止。」坐未安便起。邃固留不住，所謀遂差。還寺歎曰：「太子作亂，其形將成。欲言難言，欲忍難忍。」迺因事從容箴虎，虎終不解。俄而事發，方悟澄言。

Shi Sui was reckless and drunken, and was plotting rebellion. He said to the palace eunuchs: "The Master has supernormal powers; if by chance he exposes my plot, when he comes tomorrow, we must get rid of him first." On the fifteenth of the month, as Deng was about to enter to pay court to Hu, he said to his disciple Senghui: "Last night a deva called to me, saying: 'If you enter tomorrow, on your return do not visit anyone.' If I should happen to visit anyone, you must stop me." Deng had always visited Sui whenever he entered. Sui knew Deng was entering and waited eagerly for him. When Deng was about to ascend the Southern Terrace, Senghui pulled his robe. Deng said: "The matter cannot be stopped." Before he had even settled into his seat, he got up. Sui tried firmly to detain him, but could not keep him, and his plot was thereby thwarted. Returning to the monastery, Deng sighed, saying: "The Crown Prince is creating rebellion; its shape is about to form. Wishing to speak of it, it is difficult to speak; wishing to endure it, it is difficult to endure." He then subtly admonished Hu on various occasions, but Hu never understood. Soon after, the matter came to light, and only then did he comprehend Deng's words.
