宋高僧傳 22.24

22.24

釋宗合，閩越人也，遊嶽泛湘，以求知識焉。其為僧也，介立而寡慾，群居終日，唯笑而已。南楚之人且多信重。後居延壽院，故諫議大夫賈公玼判軍府，聞之，往謁見，言話不接。輿人議曰「得道之人，豈入恒量度中耶？」賈乃堅請往文殊院住持。爾日登座，聊舉禪要而散。明日，告眾曰：「有故暫出，諸賢不宜留難。」其裝束若行脚狀，渡彭䗍，至黃州驛前，屹然立終。遐邇奔競觀禮。時馬鋪使臣為營喪務，造塔於立終處，則開寶二年也，今號真身院是歟。又澠池大安寺釋道因，不知何許人也。遊處澠池、瀍、㵎之間，自言：「出家人守儉，則少干人。與畜類為同行，則無是非盈耳。」甞養一烏犬，出入起臥，不相忘捨。每食以鐵鉢就火而炊，糜熟，與犬同食。或前或後，行止奇異，人莫能測。一旦僧亡，犬亦坐斃。今大安寺塑其像，而肉身兩存，開寶中也。洛下崇信，香華滿龕焉。

Shi Zonghe was a native of Minyue. He traveled among the sacred peaks and drifted upon the Xiang River to seek good friends (kalyāṇamitra). As a monk, he stood aloof with few desires; though dwelling among the crowd all day, he would only smile. The people of Southern Chu largely had faith in and esteemed him. Later he resided at Yanshou Cloister. The late Grand Master of Remonstrance Lord Jia Ci was in administrative charge of the military commandery; hearing of him, he went to visit him, but no words were exchanged. The bystanders discussed it, saying, 'How could a man who has attained the Way be measured by ordinary standards?' Jia then firmly requested him to serve as abbot of Wenshu Cloister. On that day he ascended the seat, merely cited the essentials of Chan, and dispersed the assembly. The next day, he informed the assembly, 'Due to a certain matter, I must briefly depart; worthy ones, you should not make it difficult for me to leave.' In attire like that of an itinerant traveler, he crossed the Pengli, arrived before the courier station of Huangzhou, and died standing upright like a towering rock. From near and far people hurried to observe and pay homage. At that time, an emissary of the courier relay managed the funeral affairs and built a pagoda at the place where he died standing, which was the second year of the Kaibao era; today it is called Zhengshen Cloister. There was also Shi Daoyin of Da'an Temple in Mianchi, whose origin was unknown. He wandered between Mianchi, the Chan, and the Jian rivers, and said of himself, 'If a renunciant maintains frugality, he will seldom trouble others. By keeping company with beasts, there are no rights and wrongs filling one's ears.' He once kept a black dog; in coming and going, rising and resting, they never parted from each other. Whenever he ate, he used an iron bowl over the fire to cook; when the porridge was cooked, he ate together with the dog. Going ahead or behind, his conduct was bizarre, and no one could fathom him. One morning the monk died, and the dog also sat and perished. Today Da'an Temple has sculpted their statues, and both their bodily remains are preserved; this was during the Kaibao era. In Luoyang people revere and believe in them, and incense and flowers fill their shrine.
