' So he built Putong Pagoda (Putong Pagoda, name of the pagoda) to the west of the temple. He also repaired the pagoda of Zen Master Dayuan (Dayuan Zen Master, personal name), and erected two pavilions to cover the ancient and modern steles. Because of the power of Zen Master Dayuan, his followers requested the court to grant the name 'Jinghui' (Jinghui, name of the pagoda) to the Zhenying Zen Master Pagoda (Zhenying Zen Master Pagoda, name of the pagoda). The land of Shengxi Village (Shengxi Village, place name) had been seized by neighbors for several generations, and no one dared to ask about it for nearly a hundred years. The master said, 'This land was donated by Duke Pei of Tang Dynasty (Duke Pei of Tang Dynasty, personal name) to support monks from all directions. Why do they encroach on it arbitrarily? Not returning the land is trapping people in Naraka (Naraka, hell).' So he sent the person in charge to file a complaint with officials at all levels, and finally recovered two hundred acres of land, which was reported to the court by a monk every year to support Ruimei (Ruimei, place name).", "The abbot of Yuquan Temple (Yuquan Temple, temple name) died on Longya Mountain (Longya Mountain, place name), and the people in the mountain did not allow him to be buried there. His disciple held the ashes and wept bitterly. The master took pity on him, so he sent someone to Weishan (Weishan, place name) to choose a burial site to build a pagoda. People in the monastery all believed that the master had the virtue of secretly using his abilities, which was reflected in his giving and taking, but all of this was based on benevolence and righteousness. Both Taoists and laypeople were moved by his virtuous administration. In the sixth year of Zhenghe (1116), the court ordered him to be appointed as the abbot of Jiaoshan (Jiaoshan, place name) in Zhenjun (Zhenjun, place name). The master had always been unwilling to go east, so he resigned from the position of abbot and returned to the hermitage in Luanxi (Luanxi, place name). Soon, the court issued an edict again, ordering him to return to Weishan. In the eight years from when he first took office to when he left and then returned to Weishan, all kinds of abandoned undertakings were restored. If he had not come back by vow, how could he have achieved such accomplishments? The Zen teachings of Xuedou (Xuedou, place name) and Tianyi (Tianyi, place name) were greatly revitalized by the master, and the monasteries all turned to him. Building temples was probably just his game.", "Now the disciples who inherit the Dharma, from Nantai Dingzhao (Nantai Dingzhao, personal name) and Liaoshan Faguang (Liaoshan Faguang, personal name) onwards, are emerging in large numbers, distributed like chess pieces in famous mountains and temples, and are still flourishing." ] } ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 义谓余曰沩山之雄夸非空印老师莫能办之精神非文字莫足以传愿求文以昭后世不得辞系以辞曰。 有异比丘清而狂相山趼足穷衡湘黄才掬溪行嗅尝笑云水作青莲香梯空𣏾险屡仆僵寝宿雾露冲虎狼水与石斗声舂撞谁挽千乘行羊肠霄然洞开云水乡横峰侧岭争回翔咨嗟曰此古道场山灵乃今发天藏泥草吟啸久彷徉无人告语空夕阳翩然曳杖还江南道经新吴山郁苍登山作礼僧中王骨面气宇凌八荒侍其侧者矫鸾皇祐公杰出尤堂堂袖中肉山倾置旁瓶踢一笑戏取将懒安寂子尤敦庞佐于耨耕立禅房九世沉溺为津梁分灯延联世相望既绝复续暗而彰轼公貌臞中方刚漆瞳照人俨而庄食堂十年折绳床有大长老续遗芳派出天衣嗣吴江烬余为子整颓纲机锋击电谁敢当宗风回顾已举扬以印印空成文章凛然面目如冰霜令人望见折慢幢丛林迩来顿荒凉反袂拭面空叹伤而师声价重四方力能咄嗟办宝坊又取佛日重洗光芙蓉峰峻沩水长功德之利建我皇愿同山呼寿无疆。 密印禅寺僧田记 (中丞司马)郭都贤(资阳人) 大沩山繇黄木江而上循磴陟巘度高出地千仞夷其巅旷若中墅古密印寺如在平楚间寺前稻畦凡数百顷云泉沃壤至高无涸此祖庭之殊胜也然灵祐开山迥绝人境以橡栗充食者七载唐宣宗崇尚浮屠法裴公休以相节镇潭州既奏建厥寺连师李公景让续奏建同庆有大安和尚领众躬耕助道者三十余载志云裴公捐赀置饭僧田三万二千亩乞朝廷贷其租想当然也然而三万二千无考也窃稽同庆至密印凡二十余里环山之奥数十里皆可田古人不敢以将相夺民而购之使缁素殊井无 ```json { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本：", "义（指作者自称）对我说，‘沩山（Weishan，山名，位于今湖南省）的雄伟气魄，非空印老师不能展现；其中的精神内涵，非文字不能充分传达。希望我能写篇文章来昭示后世，不能推辞。’于是我作辞如下：", "有位奇异的比丘，清高而又有些癫狂之态，他攀登山峦，脚上磨出了老茧，走遍了衡山（Hengshan）和湘水（Xiangshui）一带。他用手捧起溪水，品尝嗅闻，笑着说云水有青莲的香味。他攀登高耸的山崖，屡次跌倒，在雾露中睡觉，与虎狼为伴。水流与石头撞击发出巨大的声响，谁能拉动这千辆大车，行走在这羊肠小道上？突然间，眼前豁然开朗，展现出云水环绕的村庄，横亘的山峰和侧立的山岭争相回旋。我赞叹道：‘这真是古老的道场啊，山神今天才把它展现出来，像从天上降下宝藏一样。’他长久地在泥泞的草地上吟唱，没有人告诉他什么，只有空旷的夕阳陪伴着他。他轻快地拄着拐杖返回江南，路过新吴山（Xinwu Mountain），山色苍翠。他登山向僧众之王（指空印老师）行礼，他容貌清瘦，气宇轩昂，气势凌驾于八荒之上。侍奉在他身边的人，如同矫健的鸾鸟和凤凰。祐公（Yougong）和杰出的人才尤堂堂（You Tangtang），从袖中拿出肉山（指食物）放在旁边，用瓶子踢来踢去，笑着取乐。懒安寂子（Lanan Jizi）尤其敦厚朴实，辅佐他耕田，建立禅房，他如同桥梁，救度了九世沉溺于苦海中的众生。他分灯传法，延续着世世代代的相貌，已经断绝的佛法又重新延续，在黑暗中显现光明。轼公（Shigong）容貌清瘦，内心刚强，漆黑的眼珠炯炯有神，庄严肃穆。他在食堂里住了十年，绳床都磨断了。有位大长老继承了他的遗风，从天衣（Tianyi，指天衣义怀禅师）一脉分出，继承了吴江（Wujiang）的禅法。他在灰烬中孕育了新的生命，整理了颓废的纲纪，他的机锋如闪电般迅猛，谁敢抵挡？他的宗风回顾往昔，已经发扬光大，用空印来印证空性，写成文章。他凛然的面目如同冰霜一般，令人望见就折服了傲慢之心。丛林近年来已经荒凉，人们反过来用袖子擦拭眼泪，空自叹息。而老师的声望却重于四方，他有能力在谈笑间兴办宝坊，又重新洗刷了佛日的荣光。芙蓉峰（Furong Peak）高耸，沩水（Weishui River）长流，功德利益归于我皇（指当时的皇帝），愿同山一起呼喊，祝愿皇帝万寿无疆。", "密印禅寺僧田记", "(中丞司马)郭都贤(Guo Duxian，资阳人)", "从大沩山（Da Weishan）沿着黄木江（Huangmu River）向上，沿着石阶攀登，越过高耸的山峰，高出地面千仞，在山顶开阔的地方，像是在平坦的村庄中一样，古老的密印寺（Miyin Temple）就好像在平坦的田野中一样。寺庙前的稻田有几百顷，云泉滋润着肥沃的土地，即使在高处也不会干涸，这真是祖庭的殊胜之处啊！然而，灵祐（Lingyou，沩山灵祐禅师）开山时，与人世隔绝，用橡子和栗子充饥，持续了七年。唐宣宗（Tang Xuanzong 847-859）崇尚佛教，裴休（Pei Xiu）以宰相的身份镇守潭州（Tanzhou），于是上奏朝廷修建这座寺庙。后来，李景让（Li Jingrang）继续上奏朝廷修建同庆寺（Tongqing Temple）。有大安和尚（Da'an Heshan）带领僧众亲自耕田，帮助修道，持续了三十多年。志书上说，裴休捐献钱财，购置了三万二千亩田地作为僧人的饭食田，并请求朝廷免除其租税，这应该是理所当然的。然而，这三万二千亩田地却无从考证。我私下考察，从同庆寺到密印寺，有二十多里路，环绕山区的腹地有几十里，都可以耕种。古人不敢用将相的权力夺取百姓的田地，而是购买田地，使僧人和百姓的井水互不干扰。", "English version:", "Yi (referring to the author himself) said to me, 'The majestic spirit of Weishan (mountain name, located in present-day Hunan Province) can only be demonstrated by Master Kongyin; the spiritual connotation within it can only be fully conveyed through writing. I hope I can write an article to enlighten future generations, and I cannot refuse.' So I composed the following words:", "There was an extraordinary Bhikkhu, noble and somewhat eccentric, who climbed mountains and wore calluses on his feet, traveling all over Hengshan and the Xiangshui area. He cupped the stream water in his hands, tasted and smelled it, and smiled, saying that the clouds and water had the fragrance of blue lotus. He climbed towering cliffs, stumbled many times, slept in the mist and dew, and kept company with tigers and wolves. The water flow collided with the rocks, making a huge sound. Who can pull this thousand-carriage train, walking on this narrow path? Suddenly, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, revealing a village surrounded by clouds and water, with horizontal peaks and side ridges vying to circle around. I exclaimed, 'This is truly an ancient monastery; the mountain god has only revealed it today, like a treasure descending from the sky.' He chanted in the muddy grass for a long time, no one told him anything, only the empty sunset accompanied him. He lightly returned to Jiangnan with his cane, passing by Xinwu Mountain, which was verdant. He climbed the mountain to pay homage to the King of Monks (referring to Master Kongyin), who was thin in appearance, with a lofty spirit, and his aura surpassed the eight wildernesses. Those who served by his side were like agile luan birds and phoenixes. Yougong and the outstanding talent You Tangtang took out the 'meat mountain' (referring to food) from their sleeves and placed it aside, kicking the bottle around and laughing for fun. Lanan Jizi was especially honest and simple, assisting him in farming and building a meditation room. He was like a bridge, saving sentient beings who had been drowning in the sea of suffering for nine generations. He shared the lamp and transmitted the Dharma, continuing the appearance of generations, and the Dharma that had been cut off was renewed, revealing light in the darkness. Shigong was thin in appearance and strong in heart, with dark eyes that were bright and piercing, solemn and dignified. He lived in the dining hall for ten years, and the rope bed was worn out. A great elder inherited his legacy, branching out from the Tianyi lineage (referring to Chan Master Tianyi Yihuai), inheriting the Chan Dharma of Wujiang. He nurtured new life from the ashes, and reorganized the decadent discipline. His sharp wit was as swift as lightning; who dared to resist? His ancestral style looked back on the past and had already been carried forward, using the 'empty seal' to verify emptiness and writing articles. His stern face was like frost, causing people to subdue their arrogance upon seeing him. The monastery has been desolate in recent years, and people turn back to wipe away tears with their sleeves, sighing in vain. But the teacher's reputation is heavier than all directions; he has the ability to build a precious monastery in jest, and has re-washed the glory of the Buddha's sun. Furong Peak is towering, and the Weishui River flows long. May the merits and benefits be attributed to my Emperor (referring to the emperor at the time), and may we shout together with the mountain, wishing the Emperor boundless longevity.", "Record of Monastic Land of Miyin Chan Temple", "(Censor-in-chief Sima) Guo Duxian (from Ziyang)", "Starting from Da Weishan along the Huangmu River, climbing along the stone steps, crossing towering peaks, thousands of feet above the ground, in the open space at the top of the mountain, as if in a flat village, the ancient Miyin Temple is like in a flat field. The rice paddies in front of the temple are several hundred acres, and the clouds and springs nourish the fertile land, which will not dry up even at high altitudes. This is truly the extraordinary place of the ancestral court! However, when Lingyou opened the mountain, he was isolated from the world, and used acorns and chestnuts to fill his stomach for seven years. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (847-859) admired Buddhism, and Pei Xiu, as the prime minister, guarded Tanzhou, so he memorialized the court to build this temple. Later, Li Jingrang continued to memorialize the court to build Tongqing Temple. Da'an Heshan led the monks to cultivate the fields themselves, helping to cultivate the Dao, for more than thirty years.
