法華傳記 4.26

4.26

釋慧豫。黃龍人。來遊京師。止靈根寺。少而務學。遍訪眾師。善談論美風則。每聞臧否人物。輒塞耳不聽。或時以異言聞止。瓶衣卛素曰以一中自畢。精懃標節。以救苦為先。誦法華涅槃等。又習禪業。精於五門。甞寢見有三人來扣戶。並衣冠鮮潔。執持華蓋。豫問覓誰。答云。法師應死。故來奉迎。豫曰。小事未了。可申一年不。答云可爾。至明年滿一周而卒。齊永明七年。五十有七。

Śramaṇa Huiyu was a native of Huanglong. He came to travel in the capital and resided at Linggen Temple. From his youth he applied himself to study, visiting all the masters far and wide; he was skilled in discussion and had an admirable demeanor. Whenever he heard others praising or criticizing people, he would invariably stop his ears and not listen, or at times he would use other words to put a stop to it. His water bottle and robes were simple and plain, and he sustained himself with a single meal at noon. Diligent in his resolute discipline, he made rescuing the suffering his foremost priority. He recited the Lotus Sūtra, the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, and others. He also practiced dhyāna, being proficient in the five gates. Once, while resting, he saw three people come and knock at his door, all with pristine garments and caps, holding flower canopies. Yu asked: 'Whom are you seeking?' They replied: 'The Dharma Master is due to die; therefore we have come to receive you.' Yu said: 'There are minor matters not yet settled. Can it be postponed for one year?' They replied: 'It may be so.' When the next year completed one full cycle, he died. It was the seventh year of the Yongming era of the Qi; he was fifty-seven.
