9.43

開能救眼疾。時秦公石韜就開治目。著藥小痛,韜甚憚之,而終得其効。佛圖澄曰:「此道士觀國興衰,若去者,當有大災。」至石虎太寧元年,開與弟子南度許昌。虎子姪相殺,鄴都大亂。至晉昇平三年。來之建業,俄而至南海,後入羅浮山。獨處茅茨,蕭然物外。春秋百餘歲,卒于山舍。勅弟子以屍置石穴中,弟子迺移之石室。

Daokai was able to cure eye ailments. At that time, Duke of Qin Shi Tao went to Daokai to treat his eyes. Applying the medicine caused a little pain, which Tao dreaded very much, but in the end he obtained its efficacy. Fotudeng said, 'This Daoist observes the rise and fall of the state; if he departs, there will be a great calamity.' In the first year of the Taining era of Shi Hu, Daokai and his disciples went south, crossing to Xuchang. Hu's sons and nephews slaughtered one another, and the capital of Ye fell into great chaos. In the third year of the Shengping era of the Jin, he came to Jianye, and soon after reached Nanhai, later entering Mount Luofu. Living alone in a thatched hut, he remained serenely detached from worldly matters. At the age of more than a hundred years, he died at his mountain abode. He instructed his disciples to place his corpse in a stone cave, and the disciples moved it into a stone chamber.
