宋高僧傳 19.27

19.27

拾得者，封干禪師先是偶山行至赤城道側，仍聞兒啼，遂尋之，見一子可數歲已來，初謂牧牛之竪。委問端倪，云：「無舍，孤棄于此。」封干携至國清寺，付與典座僧。或人來認，必可還之。後沙門靈熠攝受之，令知食堂香燈。忽於一日，見其登座，與像對槃而飡。復呼憍陳如曰「小果聲聞」。傍若無人，執筯大笑，僧乃驅之。靈熠咨尊宿等，罷其堂任，且令厨內滌器，洗濯纔畢，澄濾食滓，以筒盛之。寒山來，必負而去。又護伽藍神廟，每日僧厨下食，為烏鳥所取狼藉。拾得以杖扑土偶三二下，罵曰：「汝食不能護，安護伽藍乎？」是夕神附夢與闔寺僧曰：「拾得打我。」明日諸僧說夢符同，一寺紛然，始知非常人也。時牒申州縣，郡符下云：「賢士隱遁，菩薩應身，宜用旌之。」號拾得為賢士。又於寺莊牧牛，歌詠呼天。當其寺僧布薩時，拾得驅牛至僧集堂前，倚門撫掌大笑曰：「悠悠者聚頭。」時持律首座咄曰：「風人何以喧礙說戒？」拾得曰：「我不放牛也，此群牛者多是此寺知僧事人也。」拾得各呼亡僧法號，牛各應聲而過，舉眾錯愕，咸思改往修來，感菩薩垂跡度脫。時道翹纂錄寒山文句於寺土地神廟壁，見拾得偈詞，附《寒山集》中。

As for Shide, Dhyāna Master Fenggan had earlier been walking in the mountains near the roadside of Chicheng, when he heard a child crying. Following the sound, he found a boy of a few years old, whom he at first thought was a cowherd. Inquiring into his background, the boy said: "I have no home and was abandoned here alone." Fenggan carried him back to Guoqing Temple and handed him over to the cellarer monk, saying that if anyone came to claim him, he must be returned. Later, the śramaṇa Lingyi took him in and placed him in charge of the incense and lamps in the refectory. Suddenly one day, he was seen mounting the seat, facing the statues to share their food from the trays. He further called out to Kauṇḍinya, saying: "Small-fruited śrāvaka!" Behaving as if no one were there, he held his chopsticks and laughed heartily, whereupon the monks drove him away. Lingyi consulted the elders, relieved him of his duties in the hall, and assigned him to wash vessels in the kitchen. As soon as the washing was done, he would strain the leftover food and put it into a tube. Whenever Hanshan came, he would certainly carry it away on his back. Furthermore, at the shrine of the monastery-protecting deity, whenever food was served in the monastic kitchen each day, it was messily snatched by crows and birds. Shide struck the clay idol two or three times with a stick and scolded it: "You cannot even protect your own food; how can you protect the saṅghārāma?" That night, the deity possessed the dreams of all the monks in the temple, saying: "Shide beat me." The next day, when the monks related their dreams, they all coincided, causing an uproar throughout the temple, and only then did they realize he was no ordinary man. At that time, a report was sent to the prefecture and county, and the commandery issued an official directive: "A worthy living in seclusion, a responsive manifestation of a bodhisattva; he should be commended." They referred to Shide as the "Worthy." Furthermore, when herding cattle at the temple's estate, he would sing and call out to Heaven. Once, while the monks of the temple were holding their upoṣadha, Shide drove the cattle to the front of the hall where the monks were gathered, leaned against the door, clapped his hands, and laughed heartily, saying: "The idlers are gathering their heads!" At that time, the vinaya-holding rector scolded him: "Why does a madman noisily disrupt the recitation of the precepts?" Shide said: "I am not herding cattle; this herd of cattle mostly consists of former officers who managed saṅgha affairs in this temple!" Shide then called out the Dharma names of each deceased monk, and the cattle passed by one by one in response to the names. The entire assembly was astonished, and all resolved to reform the past and cultivate the future, moved by the bodhisattva's traces shown for their deliverance. At that time, Daoqiao compiled Hanshan's writings on the wall of the temple's Earth God shrine, and seeing Shide's verses, he appended them to the "Hanshan Collection."
