宋高僧傳 24.54

24.54

釋智燈，不知何許人也。矜莊己行，嚴厲時中，守護戒科，恒持《金剛般若》，勤不知倦。貞元中，遇疾而死。弟子啟手猶熱，不即入木。經七日還蘇，云：「初見冥中若王者，以念經故，合掌降階，因問訊曰：『更容上人十年在世，勉出生死。』因問：『人間眾僧中後食薏苡仁為藥食，還是已否？』曰：『此大違本教。』燈報云：『律中有正、非正開遮之條如何？』王曰：『此乃後人加之，非佛意也。』」遠近聞之，渚宮僧至有中後無有飲水者。

Śramaṇa Zhideng: it is not known where he was from. He was solemn in his own conduct and strict at all times, guarding the rules of the precepts and constantly reciting the Diamond Sūtra, untiring in his diligence. During the Zhenyuan era, he fell ill and died. When his disciples felt his hands, they were still warm, so they did not immediately place him in a coffin. After seven days he revived, saying: "At first I saw in the underworld someone like a king, who, because I recited the sūtra, joined his palms, descended the steps, and made inquiries, saying: 'The Venerable shall be granted another ten years in the world; strive to escape birth and death.' He then asked: 'When the monks in the human realm eat Job's tears seeds after noon as medicinal food, is this permissible or not?' I replied: 'This greatly contravenes the original teaching.' Deng then reported: 'What about the rules in the Vinaya regarding proper and improper allowances and prohibitions?' The king said: 'These were added by later people; they are not the Buddha's intention.'" When people near and far heard this, among the monks of Zhugong there were even those who would not drink water after noon.
