宋高僧傳 27.34

27.34

釋曇休，字德敷，姓李氏。器度宏廓，志行修勅。納法已來，未容少缺。習通漸教，頗至精微。《四分律相部疏》宗，蔚成淵府，初機請學，皆到甚深。休於講訓之餘，紏繩寺任。伊寺者，梁所創，年涉四百，雖觀閣巋然，且櫨梲傾弛。休革故有方，締構無隙，特加壯麗，輪焉！奐焉！又護國經樓迨諸棟宇，悉見鼎新。次以寺之門樓也——則長安四年故曇一律師之經始也——，既而頹廢，仍重整覆，一同創制。復慊永徽中康僧會法師應身堂座卑庳，乃募人釐變舊規，咸通年中也。休之一言，檀信響應。後終于住寺，今之大善伽藍是也。

Śramaṇa Tanxiu, whose courtesy name was Defu, was surnamed Li. His capacity and demeanor were broad and expansive, and his resolve and conduct were well-disciplined. From the time he took the monastic vows, he never allowed the slightest defect. He mastered the gradual teachings, reaching great subtlety and refinement. In the Xiangbu commentary tradition on the Dharmaguptaka-vinaya, he became an abundant repository of learning; beginners who sought his instruction all reached profound heights. In the intervals of his lecturing and instructing, Tanxiu supervised the affairs of the temple. This temple had been founded under the Liang dynasty, and four hundred years had elapsed; though its towers and pavilions stood lofty, the brackets and king-posts were leaning and loose. Tanxiu was skilled at reforming the old; his constructions were free of defects, made especially magnificent—grand and splendid! Moreover, the State-Protecting Sūtra Tower and the various halls and buildings were all renovated. Next was the temple's gate tower—which had originally been initiated in the fourth year of Chang'an by the late Vinaya Master Tanyi—which had subsequently fallen into ruin; he rebuilt and re-roofed it, restoring it entirely as originally founded. Furthermore, displeased that the hall seat for the manifestation body of Dharma Master Kang Senghui from the Yonghui era was low and mean, he solicited people to alter the old structure during the Xiantong era. At a single word from Xiu, the faithful patrons responded like an echo. Later he passed away at his resident temple, which is present-day Dashan Monastery.
