宋高僧傳 24.9

24.9

釋慧悟，未詳氏族。隱太白山中，持誦《華嚴經》，服餌松术。忽於一時見一居士來云相請。居士騰身入空，令悟於衣襟中坐，攝以飛行。至一道場，見五百異僧翔空而至，悟奄就末行。居士語曰：「師受持《華嚴》是佛境界，何得於小聖下坐？」遂却引於半千人之上。齋訖，居士曰：「本所齋意在師一人，雖有五百羅漢來食，皆臨時相請耳。」齋訖，遂送還本處，有如夢覺。即高宗永徽年中也。

Shi Huiwu, whose family clan is unknown. He dwelt in seclusion on Mount Taibai, intoning and reciting the Avataṃsaka-sūtra and ingesting pine and atractylodes. Suddenly, at one time, he saw a layman come to invite him. The layman leaped into the sky, had Wu sit in the lapel of his robe, and flew away holding him. Upon arriving at a daoist sanctuary, he saw five hundred extraordinary monks soaring through the sky to arrive. Wu quickly took a seat at the very end of the row. The layman said to him: 'Master, upholding the Avataṃsaka is the realm of the Buddhas; how could you sit below lesser sages?' He then led him to sit above the five hundred. After the feast concluded, the layman said: 'The original intention of the feast was for the Master alone; although five hundred arhats came to eat, they were all merely invited for the occasion.' When the feast was over, he sent him back to his original place, as if waking from a dream. This was during the Yonghui era of Gaozong.
