宋高僧傳 1.21

1.21

釋義淨字文明，姓張氏，范陽人也。髫齓之時，辭親落髮，遍詢名匠，廣探群籍，內外閑習，今古博通。年十有五，便萌其志，欲遊西域，仰法顯之雅操，慕玄奘之高風。加以勤無棄時，手不釋卷，弱冠登具，愈堅貞志。

Śramaṇa Yijing, courtesy name Wenming, was of the Zhang clan and a native of Fanyang. In his childhood, he bid farewell to his parents and shaved his hair. He consulted widely with famous masters and extensively probed the multitude of texts, becoming well-versed in both internal and external learning and broadly knowledgeable in both ancient and modern times. At the age of fifteen, the aspiration sprouted within him to travel to the Western Regions, admiring the noble conduct of Faxian and longing for the lofty character of Xuanzang. Furthermore, he was so diligent that he never wasted time, never laying aside his book. Upon coming of age, he received upasampadā, which strengthened his upright aspiration all the more.
