元祖輝。住四明郡城佛閣。逢人但云。阿彌陀佛。說亦說不得。人因號說不得和尚。鄞縣尉王用享夫婦。敬事之。一日詣其家別云。吾明日行矣。及明眾集。即入龕端坐。求甘瓜啖盡一枚。念佛而化。

Zuhui of the Yuan resided at the Buddha Pavilion in the city of Siming Commandery. Meeting anyone, he would only say, “Amitābha! It cannot even be spoken!” People consequently called him the “Cannot-Be-Spoken Monk.” Wang Yongxiang, the county commandant of Yin, along with his wife, venerated and served him. One day he went to their house to bid farewell, saying, “Tomorrow I will depart.” When morning came and the assembly gathered, he entered his shrine, sat upright, asked for a sweet melon, ate the whole thing, recited the Buddha's name, and passed away.
