宋高僧傳 2.15

2.15

畏性愛恬簡，靜慮怡神，時開禪觀，獎勸初學。奉儀形者蓮華敷於眼界，稟言說者甘露潤於心田，超然覺明，日有人矣。法侶請謁，唯尊奉長老寶思惟三藏而已，此外皆行門人之禮焉。一行禪師者，帝王宗重，時賢所歸，定慧之餘，陰陽之妙，有所未決，亦咨稟而後行。

Śubhakarasiṃha's nature loved tranquility and simplicity, quieting contemplation and harmonizing his spirit; from time to time he opened dhyāna contemplation and encouraged beginners. For those who beheld his deportment, lotus flowers bloomed within their field of vision; for those who received his instructions, sweet dew moistened their heart's field, and daily there were individuals of transcendent awakening and clarity. Among fellow companions of the Dharma who requested an audience, he venerated only the Elder Tripiṭaka Master Ratnacinta; with all others, he observed the etiquette of master and disciple. As for Dhyāna Master Yixing, who was revered by the monarchs and turned to by the worthy of the time, whenever he had something unresolved beyond samādhi and prajñā regarding the subtleties of yin and yang, he also consulted and received instruction from Śubhakarasiṃha before putting it into practice.
