宋高僧傳 13.25

13.25

釋全付，吳郡崑山人也。幼隨父商於豫章，聞禪寂之說，乃有厭世之志。白求出家，父慍形於色。慍止，復白者三，父異其誠，率略許之。遂詣江夏，投清平大師。問曰：「爾來何求？」付曰：「志求法也。」清平師憐其幼而抱器，撫以納之。夙興夜寐，殊於群童。及長，為之落飾，尋登戒度。奉師彌謹，檢身彌至，問法無厭飫，見性不齷齪，清平頷而許之。一旦，謂人曰：「吾聞學無常師，吾非匏瓜，豈繫于此而曠于彼乎？」遂辭師而抵宜春之仰山，禮南塔涌禪師。應對言語，深認仰山之勢，頓了直下之心。仰山囅然器重之。拳拳伏膺，棲神累載。後遊于廬陵，安福縣宰楊公建應國禪院，請付居之。禪徒子來，堂室畟滿。楊宰罷任，其鄉人復於鴿湖山建院，迎以居之。廉使上聞，錫名曰清化禪院，禪徒麕至，請問者牆進，皆不我屈，豈多讓于前輩乎？有同里僧謂付曰：「父母之鄉，胡可棄也？任緣徇世，願師歸歟！」遂別鴿湖而還故國。時吳越文穆王錢氏命升階，賜之衣衾鉢器，有加禮焉。丁酉歲，錢城戍將。闢雲峯山，建清化禪院，召以居之。次忠獻王錢氏遣使錫以紫袈裟，付上章累讓，再賜之，又讓之，遂改以納衣。付曰：「吾非榮其賜而飾讓也，恐後人之倣吾而逞欲矣。」尋賜號曰純一禪師，又固讓之。付不以情忘情，故情真；不以道求道，故道直。所居院之殿宇堂室，人競崇建之。鑄鐘千餘斤。新額曰雲峯清化禪院，雲水之侶輻湊，睠睠不欲捨旃。開運四年丁未歲秋七月示疾，謂眾曰：「生也法起，歿也法滅，起滅非言論所及也。」安然而逝，有大雨疾風，以震林木拔矣。享年六十六，臘四十有五。歸窆於山之北塢，弟子應清等十餘人奉師遺訓，不墜其道焉。僧主彙征為塔銘，建隆二年立。

Śramaṇa Quanfu was a native of Kunshan in Wu commandery. When young, he accompanied his father trading in Yuzhang; hearing discourses on dhyāna quietude, he developed the aspiration to renounce the world. He requested permission to leave household life, but his father showed anger in his expression. Once the anger subsided, he asked again three times; his father marveled at his sincerity and roughly consented. He then went to Jiangxia and took refuge under Grand Master Qingping. Qingping asked him: "What do you seek by coming here?" Fu replied: "My aspiration is to seek the Dharma." Master Qingping felt sympathy that he possessed great capacity at such a young age, so he comforted and received him. Rising early and retiring late, he stood out from the other boys. When he reached adulthood, Qingping tonsured him, and soon after he mounted the platform to receive full ordination. He attended upon his master with increasing diligence and examined himself with utmost rigor; in inquiring into the Dharma he was never sated, and in seeing the nature he was broad-minded. Qingping nodded and approved of him. One day, he said to someone: "I have heard that learning has no fixed teacher. I am no bitter gourd—how could I be tied to this place and neglect that one?" He thereupon took leave of his master and reached Yangshan in Yichun, where he paid homage to Chan Master Nanta Yong. In their verbal exchanges, he deeply grasped the momentum of Yangshan and instantly realized the mind right beneath his feet. Yangshan smiled and valued his capacity. Holding it faithfully in his breast, he dwelt in spirit there for several years. Later he traveled to Luling, where Magistrate Yang of Anfu county founded the Yingguo Chan Cloister and invited Fu to reside in it. Chan followers came like sons; the halls and chambers were packed full. When Magistrate Yang completed his term of office, the local people built another cloister on Mount Gehu and welcomed him to dwell there. The surveillance commissioner reported this to the court, and the name Qinghua Chan Cloister was bestowed. Chan followers arrived in swarms, and those who came forward to question him pressed in like a wall; none failed to submit before him—how could he yield much to the ancients? A monk from his native village said to Fu: "How can one abandon the homeland of one's parents? Follow conditions and yield to the world; may the Master return!" He thereupon bade farewell to Gehu and returned to his home state. At that time, King Wenmu Qian of Wuyue ordered him to ascend the dais, bestowed robes, bedding, and bowls upon him, and showed him exceptional respect. In the dingyou year, the garrison commander of the Qian City cleared Mount Yunfeng, built the Qinghua Chan Cloister, and summoned him to reside there. Subsequently, King Zhongxian Qian sent an envoy to bestow a purple kāṣāya; Fu submitted a memorial repeatedly declining it. When it was bestowed a second time, he declined it again, and the king subsequently changed it to a patched robe. Fu said: "It is not that I glory in his gift and put on an act of declining it; I fear only that later generations will imitate me to indulge their desires." Soon after, he was granted the title of Chan Master Chunyi, which he again steadfastly declined. Fu did not use worldly emotion to forget worldly emotion, and therefore his emotion was true; he did not use the Way to seek the Way, and therefore his Way was upright. People vied with one another to erect the halls and chambers of the cloister where he lived. They cast a bell of over a thousand catties. The new plaque read "Yunfeng Qinghua Chan Cloister." Companions of clouds and waters gathered like spokes at a hub, gazing fondly and unwilling to leave. In the seventh month of the autumn of the fourth year of Kaiyun, a dingwei year, he showed illness and addressed the assembly: "Arising is the arising of phenomena; dying is the ceasing of phenomena. Arising and ceasing are not what words can reach." He peacefully passed away; there was heavy rain and fierce wind that shook and uprooted trees in the forest. He enjoyed sixty-six years of age and forty-five years of saṅgha age. He was interred in the northern ravine of the mountain. More than ten disciples, including Yingqing, upheld their master's bequeathed instructions, so that his Way did not fall into decline. The saṅgha director Huizheng composed his stupa inscription, which was erected in the second year of Jianlong.
