宋高僧傳 19.12

19.12

釋安靜，本西域人也。開元十五年振錫東遊，至定陶，直問：「丁居士何在？」鄉人報之曰：「終已三載，葬在郊外。」且曰：「是人也乃在家菩薩，專勤梵行，甞禮事嵩山普寂禪師，云已得甚深法。將終，合掌加趺而坐，儼然而絕。曹城諸寺院鐘磬不擊自鳴也。」靜至墳所，躬自發之。時五色雲氣騰噴而上，遂取其骨——皆金色，連環若鎖，可五丈許——，鏗然響亮，擐杖頭而行。別樹塔重葬，眾咸驚歎。少頃，靜瞥然滅沒焉。

Śramaṇa Anjing was originally a man of the Western Regions. In the fifteenth year of the Kaiyuan era (727), he shook his khakkhara staff and traveled eastward, arriving at Dingtao. He directly inquired, "Where is Upāsaka Ding?" The locals informed him, "He passed away three years ago and was buried in the outskirts." They also said, "This man was a lay bodhisattva who diligently practiced brahma-conduct. He once paid homage to and served Dhyāna Master Puji of Mount Song, and was said to have attained the profound Dharma. When he was about to die, he sat cross-legged with joined palms and solemnly expired. In the various monasteries and cloisters of the city of Cao, the bells and lithophones sounded on their own without being struck." Jing went to the burial site and personally excavated it. At that moment, five-colored clouds billowed forth and shot upwards. He then retrieved the bones—all golden in color, interlocking like a chain, about fifty feet in extent—which clattered with a clear, resonant sound. Hanging them on the tip of his staff, he walked away. He erected a separate stūpa to rebury them, at which the multitude was awed and marvelled. Shortly thereafter, Jing vanished in the blink of an eye.
