隋西京大禪定寺道場釋靈幹。俗姓李氏。金城逖道人也。而立性翹仰恭攝成節。三業護持均禁遮性。仁壽二年奉勅送舍利於雒州。置塔於漢王寺。初遶塔所屢放神光。風起燈滅。而通夕明亮不須燈照。又感異香從風而至。道俗通見。四月八日下舍利時。寺院之內樹葉皆萎。烏鳥悲噭。及填平滿還如常日。以大業八年正月二十九日卒於本寺。春秋七十有八（右二驗出唐高僧傳）。

Śramaṇa Shi Linggan of the Bodhimaṇḍa of Da Chanding Temple in the Western Capital under the Sui dynasty, surnamed Li in secular life, was a native of Tidao in Jincheng. Resolute in nature, he looked up with reverence and restrained himself with respectful discipline. Guarding the three karmic paths, he treated the prohibitions against innate sins and conventional offenses alike. In the second year of Renshou, he received an imperial decree to escort śarīra to Luozhou and erect a pagoda at Hanwang Temple. At first, as they circumambulated the pagoda site, divine light was repeatedly emitted; the wind rose and extinguished the lamps, yet the entire night remained brightly illuminated without need for lamplight. Furthermore, an extraordinary fragrance was sensed arriving with the wind, witnessed by both monastics and layfolk alike. On the eighth day of the fourth month, when the śarīra were lowered, the tree leaves in the temple compound all withered, and crows and birds cried mournfully. Once the pit was filled level, all returned to normal. On the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the eighth year of Daye, he died at his own temple at the age of seventy-eight. (The above two proofs are from the Tang Gaoseng Zhuan.)
