宋高僧傳 25.25

25.25

亡名，長慶中自遠而至，狀輒麁暴。見寺中淨人，咄曰：「與吾將錢沽酒。」寺僧見之，怒其勿遮戒檢，辱我僧坊，其何以堪。遂奪其瓶，擊寺外柏樹，瓶則鏗然已碎，其酒凝滯不流，著樹如綠玉焉，搖之不散，嗅之無臭。寺僧驚怪，顧客「何為？」客曰：「某常持《金剛般若》，須預飲此物一杯，則諷吟瀏亮，率以為常，非此不可。上人勿怪。」寺僧遲迴之際愀然。其客將器就樹盛之，其酒盡落器中，略無孑遺——觀者如堵。奄然流啜，斯須器窳而酣暢。不知其僧往復何所。

His name is lost. During the Changqing era he arrived from afar, rough and violent in bearing. Seeing a pure man (an attendant) in the temple, he shouted, 'Take my money and buy wine for me!' When the monks of the temple saw this, they were infuriated that he paid no heed to the vinaya restraints and disgraced their monastery, wondering how they could endure it. They snatched his jug and smashed it against a cypress tree outside the temple; the jug shattered with a clatter, but the wine coagulated and did not flow, clinging to the tree like green jade; shaking it could not scatter it, and smelling it yielded no odor. Astonished and bewildered, the temple monks turned to the visitor and asked, 'What is this?' The visitor replied, 'I constantly uphold the Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā, and I must drink a cup of this beforehand, so that my chanting may be clear and resonant; this has become my regular practice, and it cannot be done otherwise. Venerable sirs, do not take offense.' The temple monks hesitated, looking chagrined. The visitor brought a vessel to the tree to catch it, and the wine fell completely into the vessel without a drop left behind—onlookers stood packed like a wall. Suddenly he swallowed it down, and in an instant the vessel was empty and he was merry and content. It is unknown where this monk went to and from afterward.
