宋高僧傳 10.6

10.6

釋志滿，姓康氏，洛陽人也。幼少之年，屬其家命沙門陳佛會，滿意樂不捨，遂投頴川龍興寺出家。聞洛下神會禪師法席繁盛，得了心要。南遊到黃山靈湯泉所，結茅茨而止。後采黃連，鄉人見滿喜躍，滿問：「此何處耶？」鄉人曰：「黃連山，屬宣城也。願師鎮此，柰何虎豹多害？」滿曰：「虎亦有佛性。」乃焚香祝厭之，由茲弭息，遂成大禪院。後示寂，春秋九十一。永貞元年入塔焉。

Śramaṇa Zhiman, whose lay surname was Kang, was a native of Luoyang. When he was young, his family hired the śramaṇa to hold a Buddhist gathering; Man was delighted and would not leave it, whereupon he went to Longxing Temple in Yingchuan to go forth from the household. Hearing of the flourishing Dharma seat of Chan Master Shenhui in Luoyang, he attained the essentials of the mind. Traveling south, he arrived at the location of the Lingtang Spring on Mount Huang, where he built a thatched hut and stayed. Later, while gathering Chinese goldthread (coptis), the locals were overjoyed to see Man. Man asked, "What place is this?" The locals said, "This is Mount Huanglian, belonging to Xuancheng. We wish the Master would abide here, but what can be done about the tigers and leopards that cause so much harm?" Man said, "Tigers also have the Buddha-nature." He then burned incense and said prayers to subdue them. From this they ceased, and it eventually became a great Chan monastery. Later he showed his demise at the age of ninety-one. In the first year of the Yongzhen reign era (805), he was interred in a stūpa.
