宋高僧傳 29.11

29.11

釋僧達，姓王氏，會稽人也。稚齒英奇，不參戲弄，於龜山妙喜道場出俗——其寺南梁初建。後樂遊方，見黃梅忍禪師，若枯苗得雨，隨順修禪，罔有休懈。遇印宗禪師，重磨心鑑。光州見道岸律師，更勵律儀。四眾依歸，如水宗海。開元七年示疾而終，春秋八十二云。

Śramaṇa Sengda, surnamed Wang, was a man of Kuaiji. In his youth he was outstanding and extraordinary, not engaging in childish games. He abandoned the secular world at the Miaoxi Bodhimaṇḍa on Mount Gui—this temple was first built in the Southern Liang. Later, he enjoyed wandering abroad. When he met Dhyāna Master Ren of Huangmei, it was like parched sprouts receiving rain; following his guidance he cultivated dhyāna, never slacking. Meeting Dhyāna Master Yinzong, he polished his mind-mirror once again. In Guangzhou he saw Vinaya Master Dao'an and further encouraged himself in vinaya deportment. The fourfold assembly took refuge in him like streams returning to the sea. In the seventh year of the Kaiyuan reign era, he manifested illness and passed away, at the age of eighty-two.
