宋高僧傳 19.24

19.24

釋封干師者，本居天台山國清寺也。剪髮齊眉，布裘擁質，身量可七尺餘。人或借問，止對曰「隨時」二字而已，更無他語。樂獨舂穀，役同城旦，應副齋炊。甞乘虎直入松門——眾僧驚懼——，口唱《唱道歌》，時眾方皆崇重。及終後，於先天年中在京兆行化，非恒人之常調，士庶見之，無不傾禮。以其躡萬迴師之後，微亦相類，風狂之相過之，言則多中。先是國清寺僧厨中有二苦行曰寒山子，曰拾得，多於僧厨執爨，爨訖，二人晤語，潛聽者多不體解。亦甚顛狂，糺合相親，蓋同類相求耳。時閭丘胤出牧丹丘，將議巾車——苦頭疼羌甚，醫工寡効。邂逅干造，云：「某自天台來謁使君。」且告之患，干曰：「君何慮乎？」便索淨器，吮水噴之，斯須覺體中頗佳。閭丘異之，乃請干一言定此行之吉凶。曰：「到任記謁文殊。」閭丘曰：「此菩薩何在？」曰：「國清寺厨執爨洗器者是。」及入山寺，問曰：「此寺曾有封干禪師？」曰：「有。」「院在何所？寒山、拾得復是何人？」時僧道翹對曰：「封干舊院即經藏後，今閴無人，止有虎豹時來此哮吼耳。寒、拾二人見在僧厨執役。」閭丘入干房，唯見虎跡縱橫。又問「干在此有何行業？」曰：「唯事舂穀，供僧粥食，夜則唱歌諷誦不輟。」如是再三歎嗟。乃入厨。見二人燒柴木，有圍爐之狀。閭丘拜之，二人連聲咄吒，後執閭丘手褻之若孾孺，呵呵不已。行曰：「封干饒舌。」自此二人相携手出松門，更不復入寺焉。干又甞入五臺巡禮，逢一老翁，問曰：「莫是文殊否？」翁曰：「豈可有二文殊？」干禮之未起，恍然失之。

Master Shi Fenggan originally lived at Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai. His hair was cut level with his eyebrows, his body was wrapped in a coarse cloth robe, and his stature was over seven feet tall. If anyone asked him a question, he only replied with the two words "as the time requires," and said nothing else. He took pleasure in pounding grain alone, his labor resembling that of a wall-building convict, and he supplied the provisions for the vegetarian meals. Once, he rode a tiger straight into the pine gate—all the monks were terrified—and sang the "Song of Chanting the Way," after which the community came to revere and honour him. After his demise, he taught in the capital during the Xiantian era; his demeanor was not the ordinary conduct of common men, and among scholars and commoners who saw him, none failed to bow in reverence. Because he followed in the footsteps of Master Wanhui, he was somewhat similar to him, though in aspects of crazy behaviour he surpassed him, while his predictions were mostly fulfilled. Earlier, in the kitchen of Guoqing Temple, there were two ascetic practitioners, one named Hanshanzi and the other named Shide. They often tended the fires in the monastic kitchen; when the cooking was done, the two would converse together, but those who secretly listened mostly could not comprehend them. They were also exceedingly crazy and erratic, yet bonded in close companionship, like drawing to like. At that time, Lüqiu Yin was appointed governor of Danqiu. Just as he was preparing his carriage, he suffered intensely from a severe headache, and physicians had had little effect. By chance, Fenggan arrived and said: "I have come from Tiantai to pay my respects to the envoy." When told of the ailment, Fenggan said: "Why should you worry, sir?" He immediately asked for a clean vessel, sucked up some water, and sprayed it over him; in an instant, Lüqiu felt greatly relieved in body. Lüqiu marveled at this and asked Fenggan for a word to determine the fortune of his journey. Fenggan said: "When you arrive at your post, remember to pay homage to Mañjuśrī." Lüqiu asked: "Where is this bodhisattva?" He replied: "He is the one tending the fires and washing vessels in the kitchen of Guoqing Temple." When Lüqiu entered the mountain temple, he asked: "Did this temple ever have a Dhyāna Master Fenggan?" They replied: "Yes." "Where is his courtyard? And who are Hanshan and Shide?" At that time, the monk Daoqiao replied: "Fenggan's former courtyard is right behind the scripture repository; now it is deserted and empty, with only tigers and leopards occasionally coming to roar there. The two men, Hanshan and Shide, are currently performing manual labor in the monastic kitchen." Lüqiu entered Fenggan's room and saw only tiger tracks crisscrossing the floor. He further asked: "What practices and conduct did Fenggan have while here?" Daoqiao said: "He only engaged in pounding grain to supply the monks' congee and meals, and at night he would sing songs and intone verses without ceasing." Lüqiu sighed in admiration repeatedly. He then entered the kitchen, where he saw the two men burning firewood, appearing as if gathered around a hearth. Lüqiu bowed to them, whereupon the two men shouted and rebuked him repeatedly; afterward, they took Lüqiu's hand and toyed with him as if he were an infant, laughing heartily without stopping. As they walked away, they said: "Fenggan was too talkative!" From then on, the two held hands and walked out of the pine gate, never returning to the temple again. Fenggan had also once gone on pilgrimage to Mount Wutai, where he met an old man and asked: "Could you be Mañjuśrī?" The old man said: "Can there possibly be two Mañjuśrīs?" Before Fenggan could rise from his prostration, the old man suddenly vanished.
