宋高僧傳 12.14

12.14

釋義玄，俗姓邢，曹州南華人也。參學諸方，不憚艱苦。因見黃檗山運禪師，鳴啄同時，了然通徹。乃北歸鄉土，俯徇趙人之請，住于城南臨濟焉。罷唱經論之徒，皆親堂室，示人心要，頗與德山相類。以咸通七年丙戌歲四月十日示滅。勅諡慧照大師，塔號澄虛。言教頗行于世，今恒陽號臨濟禪宗焉。

Shi Yixuan, whose secular surname was Xing, was a native of Nanhua in Caozhou. He practiced and studied across various regions, not shunning hardships. Upon meeting Chan Master Yun of Mount Huangbo, tapping and pecking occurred at the very same instant, and he thoroughly penetrated. He then returned north to his native soil, condescending to comply with the request of the people of Zhao, and took up residence at Linji south of the city. Those who had ceased lecturing on scriptures and treatises all came close to his chamber; he demonstrated the mind-essence to people, in a manner quite similar to Deshan. On the tenth day of the fourth month in the bingxu year, the seventh year of Xiantong, he manifested extinction. By imperial order he was bestowed the posthumous title Great Master Huizhao, and his pagoda was called Chengxu. His spoken teachings circulated widely in the world; today Hengyang is called the Linji Chan school.
