宋高僧傳 1.35

1.35

There was no principle Vajrabodhi did not penetrate, and no matter he did not verify; as for sūtras, treatises, monastic precepts, esoteric incantations, and other writings, he would analyze and explain them upon inquiry, like a bell responding when struck. Whenever anyone came to his gate, once Vajrabodhi saw their face, he never forgot them. As for speech, silence, activity, or rest, he remained serene and unchanging; in joy, anger, adversity, or favor, he showed no altered expression. Those who gazed upon and paid homage to him could not fathom his depths, and naturally submitted to him.
