宋高僧傳 13.27

13.27

釋善靜，俗姓王氏，長安金城人也。父朗，唐威州刺史。母李氏因夢聖容照爛金色，遂爾娠焉。及生岐嶷。殆乎知學，博通群言，因掌書奏于神策軍，中尉器重之。忽厭浮幻，潛詣終南豐德寺，禮廣度禪師，時年二十七也。洎乎削染受具，天復中南遊樂普，見元安禪裔，乃融心要。北還化徒于故里，結廬于終南雲居山，道俗歸之如市。又起遊峨嵋，禮普賢銀色世界。迴興元，連帥王公禮重留之，後還故鄉，已黍離矣。留守王公營永安禪院以居之。以開運丙午歲冬鳴椎集僧囑累，還方丈，東向，右脇而化，俗壽八十九，僧臘六十。黑白之眾若喪嚴親。明年正月八日，茶毘於城南，獲舍利數千粒。漢乾祐三年庚戌八月八日，遷塔于長安義陽鄉，石塔巋然。初，靜率多先覺，往遊僰道，避昭宗之蒙塵。又生平洗沐，舍利隕落，皆收，祕不許弟子示人。又嘗禪寂次，窓外無何有白鶴馴狎于庭，若有聽法之意。靜令人驅斥之。凡此殊徵，有而不有。晉昌軍府主郭公歸信焉，營構禪院，命以居之。翰林學士魚崇諒為塔銘述德焉。次杭州龍華寺釋靈照，本高麗國人也。重譯而來，學其祖法，入乎閩越，得心於雪峯。苦志參陪，以節儉勤于眾務，號照布納焉。千眾畏服，而言語似涉島夷。性介特，以恬淡自持。初住齊雲山，次居越州鑑清院。嘗秖對副使皮光業，語不相投，被舉擯徙龍興焉。及湖州太守錢公造報慈院請住，禪徒翕然。吳會間僧捨三衣披五納者，不可勝計。忠獻王錢氏造龍華寺，迎取金華梁傅翕大士靈骨道具，寘于此寺樹塔，命照住持焉。終于此寺，遷塔大慈山之峯。

Śramaṇa Shanjing, whose secular surname was Wang, was a native of Jincheng in Chang'an. His father, Lang, was the prefect of Wei Prefecture under the Tang. His mother, Lady Li, dreamed that a holy countenance shone with dazzling golden light, and thereupon conceived him. When born, he was remarkably precocious. By the time he was old enough to study, he was broadly versed in various texts; because he took charge of memorials in the Shence Army, the palace commander valued his capacity. Suddenly weary of floating illusions, he secretly went to Fengde Temple on Mount Zhongnan to pay homage to Chan Master Guangdu, being twenty-seven years old at the time. After shaving his head and receiving full ordination, he traveled south to Lepu during the Tianfu era, met the Chan descendant of Yuan'an, and synthesized the essentials of mind. He returned north to transform disciples in his native place, building a hut on Mount Yunju in Mount Zhongnan, where monastics and laypeople flocked to him like a marketplace. He then set out to travel to Mount Emei to pay homage to the silver world of Samantabhadra. Returning to Xingyuan, the military commissioner, Duke Wang, treated him with great respect and detained him; later, when he returned to his home prefecture, it was already desolate ruins. The regent, Duke Wang, built the Yong'an Chan Cloister for him to reside in. In the winter of the bingwu year of Kaiyun, he sounded the mallet to assemble the monks for final instructions. Returning to the abbot's quarters, he faced east and passed away lying on his right side, at eighty-nine years of secular age and sixty years of saṅgha age. The assembly of monastics and laypeople mourned as if they had lost a strict father. On the eighth day of the first month of the following year, he was cremated south of the city, and several thousand relics were obtained. On the eighth day of the eighth month of the gengxu year, the third year of Qianyou under the Later Han, his stupa was moved to Yiyang village in Chang'an; the stone stupa stands loftily. Initially, Jing was often prescient: he once traveled to Badao to avoid the flight of Emperor Zhaozong. Moreover, whenever he bathed throughout his life, relics would fall from him; he gathered them all and kept them secret, not allowing his disciples to show them to others. Also, once while he was in dhyāna quietude, after a while a white crane appeared outside the window, tame in the courtyard, as if having the intention to listen to the Dharma. Jing ordered someone to chase it away. All such extraordinary signs he treated as existing yet non-existent. Duke Guo, governor of Jingchang Army, took refuge with faith, built a Chan cloister, and bade him reside there. Academician of the Hanlin Academy Yu Chongliang composed the stupa inscription recounting his virtues. Next was Śramaṇa Lingzhao of Longhua Temple in Hangzhou, who was originally a native of the kingdom of Goryeo. He came via multiple interpreters to study the ancestral Dharma, entered Min and Yue, and attained the mind under Xuefeng. Striving with determined resolution in his training, he was frugal and diligent in community affairs, so that he was called "Zhao the Patch-robed." A thousand disciples submitted in awe, though his speech seemed like that of the island barbarians. By nature he was upright and aloof, maintaining himself in quiet placidity. At first he dwelt on Mount Qiyun, and next at Jianqing Cloister in Yue Prefecture. Once, when conversing with Deputy Commissioner Pi Guangye, their words did not accord, and he was denounced and banished to Longxing. Later, when Prefect Qian of Huzhou built the Baoci Cloister and invited him to dwell there, Chan followers gathered like clouds. The monks in the Wu-Kuai region who discarded the three robes to wear the five-patch robe were beyond count. King Zhongxian Qian built Longhua Temple, welcomed and fetched the sacred bones and ritual implements of the Great Being Fu Xi of Liang from Jinhua, placed them in this temple to erect a stupa, and appointed Zhao as abbot. He passed away at this temple, and his stupa was relocated to a peak of Mount Daci.
