宋高僧傳 25.27

25.27

釋靈幽，不知何許人也。僻靜淳直，誦習惟勤。偶疾暴終，杳歸冥府。引之見王，問「修何業？」答曰：「貧道素持《金剛般若》，已有年矣！」王合掌屢稱善哉，俾令諷誦。幽吮脣播舌，章段分明。念畢，王曰：「未盡善矣。何耶？勘少一節文。何貫華之線斷乎？師壽命雖盡，且放還人間十年，要勸一切人受持斯典。如其真本，即在濠州鍾離寺石碑上。」如是已，經七日而蘇。幽遂奏奉勅令寫此經真本，添其句讀，在「無法可說，是名說法」之後是也。

Śramaṇa Lingyou was a man whose origin is unknown. Reclusive, pure, and upright, he was diligent only in recitation and study. Falling ill, he died suddenly and descended deep into the underworld. He was led to see the King [of the Underworld], who asked, 'What practice have you cultivated?' He answered, 'This poor monk has long upheld the Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā for many years!' The King joined his palms, repeatedly exclaimed 'Excellent!', and ordered him to recite it. Lingyou moved his lips and tongue, the sections and passages coming out distinctly. When he finished reciting, the King said, 'It is not yet completely perfect. Why? Upon verification, it lacks one section of text. Why has the thread stringing the flowers snapped? Although your lifespan has ended, Master, I shall release you back to the human realm for ten years, desiring that you urge all people to receive and uphold this scripture. As for its authentic text, it is found upon the stone stele at Zhongli Temple in Haozhou.' Having said this, seven days elapsed before Lingyou revived. Lingyou then submitted a memorial and received an imperial edict ordering that the authentic text of this scripture be copied, adding the phrases and punctuation marks; it is precisely located after 'There is no Dharma that can be spoken; this is called speaking the Dharma.'
