宋高僧傳 29.31

29.31

釋道隱，姓王氏，彭原人也。風宇高峙，情性宏淡。少脫塵勞，誓從沖漠。既循師範，因願遊方，得荷澤師頓明心要。迨旋鄉土，道聲洋洋，慕其法者，若登華陰之市也。匪召員臻，檀施豐洽，欝成精舍焉。以大曆十三年三月晦囑累四部從，於中夜趺坐而終，春秋七十二，法臘三十五。弟子辯真建塔緘藏焉。今師、資二座全身不朽矣。議者以為得道真正，其器亦然，譬猶鍊丹之鼎，藥成鼎亦化金矣。在《華嚴》有：「諸菩薩成就如虛空忍，得無來身，以無去故；得不生身，以不滅故；得不聚身，以無散壞故。」其隱師之謂歟！

Shi Daoyin, surnamed Wang, was a native of Pengyuan. His bearing stood loftily, and his disposition was expansive and serene. In his youth he cast off worldly toil and vowed to follow the tranquil void. After following a teacher's model, he wished to travel abroad, and with Master [Shen]hui of Heze he suddenly illuminated the essential mind. When he returned to his home region, his reputation for the Way resounded far and wide; those who admired his Dharma were like people flocking to the market of Huayin. Without being summoned they gathered in full, their donations abundant, and a magnificent monastery was established. On the last day of the third month of the thirteenth year of Dali, he gave his final instructions to the fourfold assembly, and in the middle of the night sat cross-legged and passed away, at the age of seventy-two, with a dharma age of thirty-five. His disciple Bianzhen built a stūpa to inter him. Today, the bodies of both master and disciple remain undecayed. Commentators consider that when one attains the Way truly, their physical vessel is also like this—comparable to a cauldron for smelting elixir: when the medicine is complete, the cauldron also transforms into gold. In the *Avataṃsaka* it is said: “Bodhisattvas accomplish the forbearance like space; they attain a body that does not come, because it does not go; they attain a body that is not born, because it does not perish; they attain a body that does not assemble, because it does not disperse and disintegrate.” Does this not refer to Master Yin!
