29.33

釋道晤者,不知何許人也。高趣放蕩,識量難貲。末住永嘉陶山側精舍,則隱居修《真誥》之所也。大曆中,代宗為陶真君樹此精舍,晤於此進修靡怠,人亦傾仰。一夕跏趺而卒,身肉無沮,如入三昧,議不焚葬。後五年,忽舉右手,狀若傳香。州官民庶異之,以事奏,勅賜紫袈裟,諡曰實相大師。至今塔中,州民祈禱,旛華填委焉。

Shi Daowu; it is not known where he was from. His lofty aspirations were untrammeled, and his capacity was difficult to gauge. In his later years he lived in a hermitage beside Mount Tao in Yongjia, which was where the Hermit [Tao Hongjing] had compiled the *Declarations of the Perfected* (Zhen’gao). During the Dali era, Emperor Daizong established this hermitage for the Perfected Lord Tao; Daowu progressed in cultivation here without indolence, and people looked up to him. One evening he died seated cross-legged, his flesh undecayed as if in samādhi, so it was resolved not to cremate or bury him. Five years later, he suddenly raised his right hand, as if offering incense. The prefectural officials and common people were astonished, and reported the matter to the throne; an imperial decree bestowed a purple kāṣāya and the posthumous title Grand Master Shixiang (True Mark). To this day in his stūpa, the prefectural people pray, and banners and flowers are piled high.
