宋高僧傳 27.17

27.17

見是中景異，聞名士多居，如歸故鄉，戀而不能捨去。既行道化，盛集禪徒。浙東廉使元相國稹聞之，始為卜築。次陸中丞臨越知之，助其完葺。三年欝成大院，五年而佛事興。然每為往來禪侶談說心要，後終于山院。大和七年，時白樂天在河南保釐為記，劉賓客禹錫書之。

Seeing that the scenery here was extraordinary and hearing that many renowned gentlemen had resided here, Jiran felt as though he had returned to his old hometown; enamored, he could not bring himself to leave. As he put the transformation through the Way into practice, dhyāna disciples gathered in great numbers. When Yuan Zhen, Chancellor and Surveillance Commissioner of Zhedong, heard of this, he first divined and constructed a dwelling for him. Next, Vice Censor-in-Chief Lu, when governing Yue, learned of it and assisted in repairing and completing it. In three years a great cloister grew abundantly, and in five years Buddhist affairs flourished. Jiran constantly spoke of the essential points of the mind to the dhyāna companions who came and went, and later he ended his days at the mountain cloister. In the seventh year of the Dahe era, when Bai Letian (Bai Juyi) was in Henan defending the peace, he composed a record of it, and Liu Yuxi, Adviser to the Heir Apparent, wrote it out.
