宋高僧傳 21.15

21.15

釋永安，眉州洪雅人也。身裁么麼，面色黧䵟，言音鄙惡，而識量寬舒，大抵不可貲也。大中八年三月中，詣成都，云造謁府帥白公敏中，請奏寺額。以其足跛，肩輿而至。人皆未甞見其登圊而旋溺也，故時呼為無漏師。安置聖壽寺中且十日，白中令俾差僧五、六，晝夜互守之而伺察焉。內外飲食，亦略同常人，而無解衣去二行之意。詳其十辰之積，便旋何所，畢不可知。司徒白公奏額到日，便辭歸眉郡。判官盧求見之，謂為小沙彌耳，人云：「此師年已八十餘矣！」

Shi Yongan was a native of Hongya in Meizhou. His stature was diminutive, his complexion dark and sallow, and his voice crude and harsh, yet his capacity for discernment was broad and relaxed, largely impossible to measure. In the middle of the third month of the eighth year of the Dazhong era, he went to Chengdu, saying that he would visit Duke Bai Minzhong, the Commander of the Prefecture, to request an imperial plaque for his temple. Because he was lame, he arrived in a sedan chair. No one had ever seen him visit a privy or relieve himself, so people at the time called him the 'Flawless Master' (Āsravakṣaya). He was accommodated in Shengshou Temple for about ten days; Minister Bai ordered five or six monks to watch and observe him day and night by turns. His eating and drinking were roughly the same as ordinary people, yet he had no intention of loosening his robes to discharge either of the two wastes. Taking note of what had accumulated over ten days, where he had relieved himself was utterly unknown. On the day the plaque memorialized by Duke Bai, the Minister of Education, arrived, he took his leave and returned to Meizhou. The administrative assistant Lu Qiu saw him and took him for a mere novice; someone said: 'This master is already over eighty years old!'
