廣州文殊院圓明禪師福州人。姓陳氏。本參大溈得旨。後造雪峯請益法無異味。又甞遊五臺山覩文殊化現。乃隨方建院以文殊為額。開寶中前樞密使李崇矩巡護南方。因入師院覩地藏菩薩像。問僧曰。地藏何以展手。僧曰。手中珠被賊偷却也。李却問師。既是地藏為什麼遭賊。師曰。今日捉下也。李乃謝之。淳化元年示滅。壽一百三十有六。

> Chan Master Yuanming of the Wenshu Cloister in Guangzhou was a native of Fuzhou. His family name was Chen. Originally he studied under Dahui and attained the principle; later he visited Xuefeng to request instruction, and the Dharma was of no different flavour. He also once travelled to Mount Wutai, where he beheld the manifestation of Mañjuśrī. He then established a monastery in accordance with the locality, using "Mañjuśrī" as its name plaque. During the Kaibao era, the former Commissioner of Military Affairs Li Chongju inspected the south. Entering the Master's cloister, he saw an image of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva and asked a monk, "Why does Kṣitigarbha stretch out his hand?" The monk said, "The jewel in his hand was stolen by a thief." Li then asked the Master, "Since he is Kṣitigarbha, why was he robbed?" The Master said, "Today I have seized \[the culprit\]." Li then thanked him. He showed his demise in the first year of the Chunhua era, at the age of one hundred and thirty-six.
