杭州千光王寺瓌省禪師溫州陶山人也。姓鄭氏。幼歲出家精究律部。聽天台文句棲心於圓頓止觀。後閱楞嚴文理宏𤀹未能洞曉。一夕誦經既久就案。若假寐夢中見日輪自空降開口吞之。自是倏然發悟。差別義門渙然無滯。後聞國城永明法席隆盛。專申參問。永明唯印前解無別指喻。即以忠懿王所遣衲衣授之表信。後住湖西嚴淨院。開寶三年衢州刺史翁晟仰重師道。乃開西山創大禪苑。太宗皇帝改賜寶雲寺額。請師居之。學者臻萃。師上堂曰。諸上座佛法無事。昔之日月今之日月。昔日風今日風。昔日上座今日上座。莫道舉亦了說亦了。一切成現好珍重。師開寶五年壬申七月示疾不求醫。三日前有寶樹浴池現。師曰。凡所有相皆是虛妄。二十七日晡時集眾言別安坐而逝。壽六十有七。闍維舍利門人建塔。

Chan Master Guisheng of Qianguangwang Temple in Hangzhou was a native of Taoshan in Wenzhou. His surname was Zheng. Having gone forth from household life in his youth, he made a meticulous study of the Vinaya section. Listening to the Tiantai Sentences, he settled his mind on the perfect and sudden cessation-and-contemplation. Later, reading the Śūraṅgama-sūtra, its literary principles were so grand and profound that he was unable to penetrate and understand them. One evening, having chanted the sūtra for a long time, he leaned against his desk. While dozing, he saw in a dream the sun disc descend from the sky; he opened his mouth and swallowed it. From this he was suddenly awakened, and the gates of differentiated meanings dissolved without obstruction. Later, hearing that the Dharma seat of Yongming in the capital city was flourishing, he went specifically to inquire and study. Yongming merely authenticated his prior understanding without offering any other pointers or allegories; he then bestowed upon him the patchwork robe presented by King Zhongyi as a token of trust. Later, [Guisheng] resided at the Yanjing Cloister west of the lake. In the third year of the Kaibao era, the Prefect of Quzhou, Weng Sheng, held the Master's way in high esteem, whereupon he opened up the West Mountain and founded a great Chan monastery. Emperor Taizong changed and bestowed the temple plaque as Baoyun Temple, inviting the Master to dwell there. Students gathered like clouds. The Master ascended the hall and said, "Sthaviras, the Buddhadharma has nothing to do. The sun and moon of the past are the sun and moon of today. The wind of the past is the wind of today. The sthaviras of the past are the sthaviras of today. Do not say that bringing it up is finishing it or that speaking of it is finishing it. Everything is fully manifest. Take care!" In the fifth year of Kaibao, the renshen year, in the seventh month, the Master showed illness and sought no physician. Three days prior, jeweled trees and a bathing pool appeared. The Master said, "All that has marks is unreal and false." On the twenty-seventh day at the hour of late afternoon, he gathered the assembly, spoke words of farewell, and passed away sitting peacefully. His age was sixty-seven. After the cremation, his disciples collected the relics and erected a pagoda.
