皇唐已來有僧名解脫。在巖窟亡來三十餘年。身肉不壞似如入滅盡定。復有一尼。亦入定不動。各經多年。聖迹伽藍菩薩聖僧。仙人仙華屢屢人見。具在別篇。豈得不信。

Ever since the imperial Tang, there has been a monk named Jietuo who died in a rock cave over thirty years ago, whose physical body does not decay, appearing as though he has entered the cessation attainment (nirodhasamāpatti). There is also a nun who has likewise entered absorption and remains motionless, each spanning many years. Sacred traces, monasteries, bodhisattvas, holy monks, immortals, and immortal flowers have repeatedly been seen by people, as recorded fully in separate chapters. How could one not believe?"
