宋高僧傳 11.35

11.35

釋圓智，俗姓張，豫章海昏人也。總丱之年，頓求出離，禮涅槃和尚，躬執鉼屨。爰登戒地，誓叩禪門，見乎藥山，示其心決。後居長沙道吾山，海眾相從，猶蜂蟻之附王焉。以太和九年乙卯九月十一日長逝，享年六十七。闍維，得不灰之骨數片，腦蓋一節，特異而清瑩，其色如金，其響如銅。乃建塔于石霜山，勅諡脩一大師寶相之塔。得其道者則普會焉。智公初領悟藥山宗旨，儼師誨之曰：「吾無寶玉大弓以為分器，今賞汝犢鼻一腰，雖云微末，而表親褻歟？」南嶽僧玄泰著碑頌。

Shi Yuanzhi's secular surname was Zhang, and he was a native of Haihun in Yuzhang. In the years of his youth with hair in tufts, he suddenly sought transcendence, paying respects to the Upādhyāya Niepan and personally carrying his water jar and shoes. Thereupon ascending the precept platform, he vowed to knock at the gate of dhyāna; meeting Yaoshan, his mind's doubts were resolved. Later he resided at Mount Daowu in Changsha, where assemblies as vast as the sea followed him, like bees and ants clinging to their queen. On the eleventh day of the ninth month in the yimao year, the ninth year of the Taihe era, he passed away at the age of sixty-seven. At his cremation, several fragments of bone that did not turn to ashes and a section of skull cap were found, remarkably distinct, pure, and translucent, its color like gold and its resonance like bronze. A stupa was then erected on Mount Shishuang, and an imperial decree bestowed the posthumous title Grand Master Xiuyi and named the stupa Baoxiang ('Precious Form'). The one who attained his Way was Puhui. When Zhi first realized Yaoshan's tenets, Master Yan instructed him: 'I have no precious jade or great bow to give as a parting gift, but now I bestow upon you a single loincloth. Though it may be called slight, does it not symbolize intimacy?' The monk Xuantai of Mount Nanyue composed a stele and eulogy for him.
