梁山陰雲門寺有釋智順。本姓徐。琅瑘臨沂人。秉禁無疵陶練眾經。齊竟陵文宣王。特深禮異。以天監六年卒于山寺。春秋六十一。初順疾甚不食多日。一時中竟忽索薺飲。弟子曇和。以順絕穀日久。密以半合米雜煮以進。順咽而還吐索水洗漱。語和云。汝永出雲門寺。不得還住。其執節精苦皆此類也。臨終之日房內頗聞異香。亦有見天華天蓋者（右五驗出梁高僧傳）。

Under the Liang, at Yunmen Temple in Shanyin, there was Shi Zhishun, whose original lay surname was Xu, a native of Linyi in Langye. He upheld the prohibitions without blemish and had cultivated and mastered the various scriptures. King Wenxuan of Jingling under the Qi treated him with exceptionally profound respect. In the sixth year of the Tianjian era, he died at the mountain monastery at the age of sixty-one. At first, Shun was critically ill and did not eat for many days. Just after the noon hour, he suddenly asked for a broth of water chestnuts. His disciple Tanhe, considering that Shun had abstained from grain for a long time, secretly boiled half a ge of rice into it and presented it. Shun swallowed it, but then vomited it back out, demanded water to rinse his mouth, and said to He, "You must leave Yunmen Temple forever and may not return to dwell here." His austere adherence to discipline was entirely of this sort. On the day of his death, an extraordinary fragrance was strongly scented within his room, and some also saw heavenly flowers and heavenly canopies.
