法華傳記 6.24

6.24

釋曇義。并州人也。幼而出家。住十力寺。堅持禁戒。推諸世務。苦節頭陀。常居五臺山。願依文殊大師策修勝業。每日誦法華兩遍。讀華嚴一帙。以此為恒。如此因修積有年稔。後與弟子曇訓。遊歷諸臺。因至南臺。見一比丘尼誦經口放光。義既發願。誦法華華嚴。精誠感通。自口放光。光中隨音韻。化佛出現。臨終之時。具說此事云。唯獨自明了。餘人所不見。此言有驗矣。

Śramaṇa Tanyi was a native of Bingzhou. He went forth as a youth, dwelt at Shili Monastery, firmly maintained the prohibitive precepts, cast aside secular affairs, and practiced austere dhūta. Constantly dwelling on Mount Wutai, he vowed to rely on the Great Master Mañjuśrī to cultivate superior practices. Daily he chanted the Lotus Sūtra twice and read one fascicle case of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, making this his constant practice. In this manner, he cultivated and accumulated merit over many years. Later, he traveled with his disciple Tanxun through the various peaks. Coming to the South Peak, he saw a nun whose mouth emitted light as she chanted the scriptures. Since Tanyi had made vows to chant the Lotus and the Avataṃsaka, his sincere devotion resonated: his own mouth emitted light, and amidst the light, transformation Buddhas appeared following the cadence of his voice. Near his death, he recounted this matter in full, saying, "Only I clearly saw it; other people did not see it." These words were indeed verified.
