宋高僧傳 14.25

14.25

釋崇業，不知何許人也。初同弋陽道岸學毘尼於文綱之法集。業之服勤，淬礪罔怠，黌肆之間推居元長。與淄州名恪齊名，挺拔剛毅過之，美聲洋洋達於禁闥。睿宗聖真皇帝操心履道，勅以舊邸造安國寺。有詔業入承明熏修，別殿為帝授菩薩戒。施物優渥，僉迴捨修菩提寺殿宇，抑由先不畜盈長之故也。開元中微疾，囑弟子曰：「吾化窮數盡，汝曹堅以防川，無令放逸！」語訖，終於所居寺之別院。業即南山之嗣孫矣。

Śramaṇa Chongye: it is not known where he was from. Initially, together with Daowan of Yiyang, he studied the vinaya in the Dharma assembly of Wengang. In serving with diligence, Chongye sharpened and polished himself without slacking, and among the academy he was esteemed as the foremost. He shared renown with Ke of Zizhou, yet surpassed him in uprightness and fortitude; his fine reputation spread widely, reaching the imperial palace. Emperor Shengzhen, Ruizong, set his mind on walking the Way, and by imperial decree converted his former residence into Anguo Temple. There was an imperial edict ordering Chongye to enter the Chengmian Palace to cultivate spiritual practice, and in a separate hall he conferred the bodhisattva precepts upon the emperor. The donations offered were exceedingly bountiful, but he yielded them all to repair the halls of Bodhi Temple, precisely because he had never hoarded surplus wealth. During the Kaiyuan era, he had a slight illness and instructed his disciples, saying: "My transforming task is exhausted and my span is ended. You must hold firmly like a dyke against a river, and allow no laxity!" Having finished speaking, he passed away in a separate courtyard of the temple where he resided. Chongye was thus the dharma grandson of Nanshan.
