高僧傳 9.50

9.50

竺佛調者，未詳氏族，或云天竺人。事佛圖澄為師，住常山寺積年。業尚純樸，不表飾言，時咸以此高之。常山有奉法者，兄弟二人，居去寺百里。兄婦疾篤，載至寺側，以近醫藥。兄既奉調為師，朝晝常在寺中諮詢行道。異日調忽往其家。弟具問嫂所苦，并審兄安否。調曰：「病者粗可，卿兄如常。」調去後，弟亦策馬繼往。言及調旦來，兄驚曰：「和上旦初不出寺，汝何容見？」兄弟爭以問調。調笑而不答，咸共異焉。

Zhu Fotiao: his clan and lineage are not known; some say he was a native of Tianzhu. He served Fotudeng as his teacher and lived at Changshan Temple for many years. His conduct was simple and unadorned, and he did not show forth ornamented speech; people of the time all esteemed him for this. In Changshan there were two brothers who honored the Dharma, living a hundred li from the temple. The elder brother's wife fell gravely ill, and she was brought by cart to the vicinity of the temple to be near medical care. Since the elder brother took Fotiao as his teacher, he spent morning and day in the temple consulting on the practice of the Way. One day, Fotiao suddenly went to their home. The younger brother asked in detail about his sister-in-law's illness, and inquired whether his brother was at peace. Fotiao said, 'The sick woman is somewhat better, and your brother is as usual.' After Fotiao left, the younger brother also spurred his horse and went along. When he mentioned that Fotiao had come that morning, the elder brother said in astonishment, 'The Upādhyāya did not leave the temple at all this morning; how could you have seen him?' The brothers contended in questioning Fotiao about it. Fotiao smiled without answering, and all marveled at him.
