宋高僧傳 2.31

2.31

後隱泰嶽，凡經四秋。將詣洛中，屬昏李陵夷，法綱嚴峻，僧無徒侶，弗許遊方。於是杖錫出山，孑焉超邁，恐羅刑憲，靜念觀音。少選之間，有僧歘至，皓然白首，請與偕行。迨至銅街，暨於金地，俯仰之際，莫知所在。咸謂善逝之力，有感斯見。未幾，因避難三蜀，居于多寶寺。好事者素聞道譽，乃命開筵《攝論》、《維摩》，聽者千數。

Later he lived in seclusion on Mount Tai for four autumns. When he was about to head to Luoyang, the Li house was in chaotic decline, and the laws governing the clergy were severe; monks without traveling companions were not permitted to journey abroad. Thereupon, leaning on his staff, he left the mountain, proceeding alone into the distance; fearing he might violate the penal laws, he mindfully reflected on Avalokiteśvara. In a short while, a monk suddenly arrived, with pure white hair, who asked to travel along with him. When they reached the Bronze Streets and arrived at the monastic precincts, in the twinkling of an eye, the monk was nowhere to be found. All said this was the power of the Sugata, manifesting in response to sincere devotion. Before long, Daoyin went to the three regions of Shu to avoid troubles, residing at Duobao Temple. Enthusiastic devotees had long heard of his renown in the Way, and thus invited him to open lectures on the *Mahāyānasaṃgraha* and the *Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa*, with listeners numbering in the thousands.
