宋高僧傳 23.15

23.15

釋全豁，俗姓柯氏，泉州人也。少而挺秀，器度宏遠而疎略。禮清源誼公為師。往長安，造西明寺，照公與受滿足法。即於左街保壽寺聽尋經律，決擇綱宗，垂成講導，振錫南指。詣武陵德山。藥病相應，更無疑滯。後居所隣洞庭——地曰臥龍——，乃築室而投憩焉。徒侶影隨。又居唐年山，山有石巖巉崒，立院號巖頭歟。凡所施用，皆削繁總，兀然而坐，任眾圍繞，曰：「汝何不思惟？家中有多少事，實於逆順之境證得超越之相者。」豁值光啟已來，中原多事，諸侯角立，狂賊來剽掠，眾皆迴避，豁惟晏如。賊責弗供饋，忿怒俾揮刃之，曾無懼色。當光啟丁未歲夏四月八日。門人權葬，葬後收焚之，獲舍利七七粒。僖宗賜諡曰清嚴，塔號出塵。葬事，檀越田詠兄弟率財營構，南嶽釋玄泰撰碑頌德。提唱斗峻，時號巖頭法道，難其領會焉。

Śramaṇa Quanhuo, whose secular surname was Ke, was a native of Quanzhou. In his youth he was remarkably gifted, his capacity magnanimous yet informal. He took Master Yi of Qingyuan as his preceptor. Traveling to Chang'an, he went to Ximing Temple, where Master Zhao conferred the full precepts upon him. He then listened to and studied the scriptures and vinaya at Baoshou Temple on the Left Street, resolving the essential doctrines; when on the verge of lecturing and guiding others, he shook his staff and headed south. He went to Mount Deshan in Wuling. Medicine and illness answered each other, leaving him without any doubt or stagnation. Later, his residence bordered Dongting Lake—at a place called Wolong (Crouching Dragon)—where he built a hut to rest. Disciples followed him like shadows. He also dwelt at Mount Tangnian, which had rugged and towering crags, and established a cloister named Yantou (Crag Peak). In all that he employed, he pruned away complications; sitting upright and motionless, letting the assembly surround him, he would say: "Why do you not reflect? How many affairs are there within one's own house that truly allow one to realize a state transcending both adversity and prosperity?" Huo lived during the turbulent period from the Guangqi era [885–888 CE] onward, when the Central Plains saw many troubles, the warlords stood in rivalry, and raving bandits came to plunder. While the assembly all took flight, Huo alone remained at ease. The bandits blamed him for not supplying them with provisions and, enraged, made him face their swinging blades; he showed not the slightest fear. This took place on the eighth day of the fourth month in the summer of the dingwei year of the Guangqi era [887 CE]. His disciples buried him temporarily; after the burial, they retrieved and cremated him, obtaining forty-nine śarīra. Emperor Xizong bestowed the posthumous title "Qingyan" (Pure and Stern), and named the stūpa "Chuchen" (Transcending the Dust). For the funeral affairs, the donor Tian Yong and his brothers pooled funds to construct the facilities, and Śramaṇa Xuantai of Nanyue composed a stele inscription praising his virtues. His instruction was precipitous and towering; at the time it was known as the Yantou method, difficult to grasp.
