傳法正宗記 7.5

7.5

大鑒之二世。曰清源行思禪師。吉州安域人也。初於大鑒之眾最為首冠。大鑒甞謂之曰。從上以衣與法偕傳。蓋取信於後世耳。今吾得人何患乎不信。我受衣來常恐不免於難。今復傳之慮起其諍。衣鉢宜留鎮山門。汝則以法分化一方無使其絕。思尋歸其鄉邑。居清源山之靜居寺。最為學者所歸。其法嗣一人。曰南嶽石頭希遷者。

In the second generation of Dajian was Chan Master Qingyuan Xingsi, a man of Anyu in Jizhou. At first, among Dajian's assembly, he was the foremost head. Dajian once said to him, "From antiquity, the robe and the Dharma have been transmitted together, simply to win trust in later generations. Now that I have found the right person, why worry about lack of trust? Ever since I received the robe, I have always feared being unable to avoid troubles; if I transmit it again now, I fear it will give rise to disputes. The robe and bowl should remain to protect the mountain gate. You, then, should spread the Dharma to transform one region, not allowing it to be cut off." Xingsi soon returned to his home county and resided at Jingju Monastery on Mount Qingyuan, where students flocked to him most. He had one Dharma heir: Shitou Xiqian of Nanyue.
