### [6.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2078.6.11)

復曰。汝善傳之。無使其絕。吾往游羅浮。非久乃還。更二載遂復山谷。月餘盛會州人與其說法。已而立化於大樹之下。當隋大業丙寅之二年也。是時隋室方亂。未遑塔之。至唐天寶五載。會趙郡李常移官於舒。乃發壙焚之。得舍利立窣堵波於其化所。初璨尊者以風疾出家。及居山谷疾雖愈而其元無復黑髮。故舒人號為赤頭璨。然其奇見異德。誠不測人也。先是其所居頗多蛇獸為害。及尊者至皆絕。一日有神光遽發其寺。甘露泫於山林。時人怪之。以而相問。尊者曰。此佛法將興舍利欲至之先兆耳。其後京國大獲舍利。遂頒天下。果置塔於山谷寺。其感効皆此類也。唐明皇諡曰鑒智禪師。塔曰覺寂。其後宰相房琯為其碑。序之甚詳。

> He further said, “Transmit it well; do not let it be cut off. I am going to wander to Luofu, and will return before long.” After two more years, he returned to Shangu. For more than a month, he held a grand gathering of the people of the prefecture and preached the Dharma to them. Then, he passed away while standing under a large tree. It was the second year, the bingyin year, of the Daye era of the Sui. At that time, the Sui house was in turmoil, and there was no leisure to build a stūpa for him. In the fifth year of the Tianbao era of the Tang, it happened that Li Chang of Zhaojun was transferred to an official post in Shu. He opened the tomb and cremated him, obtained relics, and erected a stūpa at the place of his passing. Earlier, Venerable Can had gone forth because of a wind illness; when he resided at Shangu, although the illness was cured, his head no longer grew black hair. Therefore, the people of Shu called him Red-Headed Can. Yet with his extraordinary insight and remarkable virtue, he was truly an unfathomable man. Prior to this, where he lived, snakes and beasts had caused much harm; when the Venerable arrived, they all vanished. One day, a divine light suddenly shone forth from his monastery, and sweet dew dripped upon the mountain forests. People of the time thought it strange and asked each other about it. The Venerable said, “This is merely an omen that the Buddha Dharma is about to flourish and relics are about to arrive.” Afterward, the imperial capital obtained relics on a large scale, which were subsequently distributed throughout the realm, and indeed a stūpa was established at Shangu Monastery. His responsive manifestations were all of this kind. Emperor Minghuang of the Tang bestowed the posthumous title Chan Master Jianzhi, and his stūpa was named Jueji. Later, Prime Minister Fang Guan composed his stele, prefacing it in great detail.
