宋高僧傳 24.17

24.17

釋思睿，姓王氏，太原人也。夙通禪理，復貫律宗，慈悲仁讓，忤無慍容。睿素嬰羸瘵，乃立志法筵，專祈藥上，恪勤不懈。尋見感徵，忽心力勇銳，辯猶瓶注。因誦《十輪經》，日徹數紙，翌日倍之，後又倍之，自爾智刃不可當矣。開元中杖錫嵩少問道。時義福禪師禪林密緻，造難其人，一言相入，若石投水。既飲甘露，五載而還。趺坐居定，日不解膝，遠邇擊問，求其玄理，如堵牆焉。春秋六十六，卒于所住院。

Śramaṇa Sirui, whose secular surname was Wang, was a native of Taiyuan. From early on he was thoroughly versed in the principles of dhyāna and was also proficient in the Vinaya school. He was compassionate, benevolent, and yielding, never showing anger when crossed. Sirui had long suffered from emaciation and consumption, so he set his resolve upon the Dharma seat and devoted himself to praying to Bhaiṣajyasamudgata, diligent and untiring. Soon signs of supernatural resonance appeared: his mental vigor suddenly became fierce and sharp, and his eloquence flowed like water poured from a pitcher. Consequently, when reciting the Daśacakra-sūtra, he could master several sheets a day; the next day it doubled, and later doubled again. From then on, the blade of his wisdom was irresistible. During the Kaiyuan era, he took his staff to Mount Song and Mount Shaoshi to seek the Way. At that time, Dhyāna Master Yifu's community of dhyāna practice was rigorous and secluded, and it was difficult for visitors to gain admittance, yet with a single word they harmonized, like a stone dropped into water. Having drunk the sweet nectar, he returned five years later. He sat cross-legged in concentration, not unbending his knees throughout the day; people near and far came to inquire and seek his profound principles, crowding around him like a wall. He died in his residence cloister at the age of sixty-six.
