宋高僧傳 11.6

11.6

次成都府元和聖壽寺釋南印，姓張氏。明寤之性，受益無厭，得曹溪深旨，無以為證。見淨眾寺會師，所謂落機之錦，濯以增研，銜燭之龍，行而破暗。印自江陵入蜀，於蜀江之南壖，薙草結茆，眾皆歸仰，漸成佛宇，貞元初年也。高司空崇文平劉闢之後，改此寺為元和聖壽，初名寶應也。印化緣將畢，於長慶初示疾入滅。營塔葬於寺中。會昌中毀塔，大中復於江北寶應舊基上創此寺，還名「聖壽」。印弟子傳嗣有義俛，復興禪法焉。

Next is Shi Nanyin of Yuanhe Shengshou Temple in Chengdu Prefecture, surnamed Zhang. His nature was bright and perceptive, and he was insatiable in seeking benefit. He obtained the profound purport of Caoxi, yet had no means to confirm it. He went to see Master Hui of Jingzhong Temple, where he was like brocade freshly off the loom, washed to enhance its splendour, or a candle-bearing dragon moving along to disperse the dark. Nanyin entered Shu from Jiangling, and on the southern bank of the Shu River, he cut the grass and built a thatched hut. The multitude all turned to him in reverence, and it gradually became a Buddhist sanctuary; this was in the early years of Zhenyuan. After Sikong Gao Chongwen pacified Liu Pi, he changed this temple's name to Yuanhe Shengshou; it was originally named Baoying. As Nanyin's conditions for conversion were drawing to a close, he manifested illness and entered extinction in the early years of Changqing. A stūpa was erected and he was buried within the temple. During the Huichang era the stūpa was destroyed, and during the Dazhong era this temple was re-established on the old foundation of Baoying north of the river, reverting to the name "Shengshou". Among Nanyin's disciples who transmitted his lineage was Yimian, who revived the Chan method.
