English version: On the fifth day of the second month, a thousand-monk Dharma assembly was held at Chongzheng Hall. Lawyer Bing was respectfully invited to be the Bodhisattva Precept Master. The chief secretary Liu Xuan was sent to welcome him (and so on). At that time, Lawyer Bing was holding incense in his hand, but his face was downcast with tears. His given name was Shan Meng (善萠, Shàn Méng, meaning 'good sprout'), but he mistakenly said 'wan' (晚, wǎn, meaning 'late'). Later, when the Great Sui Dynasty swallowed the Chen Dynasty, he finally understood the previous meaning. The 'Imperial Records of the Southern Dynasties' records that the crown prince of the Later Lord was named Shen, and it is a mistake to say that he was named Yuan. When the Sui Dynasty swallowed the Chen Dynasty, he was only fifteen years old. He sat in seclusion, and the attendant Kong Boyu served him. Sui soldiers knocked on the door and entered. Shen sat calmly and comforted them, saying, 'The soldiers must have been tired on the road.' On the day of Jisi in the third month of Zhenming three years, he followed his father, the king, and his relatives into Chang'an. Later, his fate was unknown. A Bhikkhu entered a dream, which was when he dreamed of Lawyer Bing. The character 'Bing' (秉) of Lawyer Bing's name is written as '昞' in the Nanshan biography. '秉' means to hold, and '昞' means bright. The latter character '昞' should be used. The details of the Ten Ground Bodhisattvas are recorded in the Dharma numbers. The Four Reliances, as stated in the Gushan Ode: The Five Grades and Ten Faiths, the initial Ten Faiths are already considered the second reliance, Practice and Direction are considered the third reliance, Equal Enlightenment and Wonderful Enlightenment are considered the fourth reliance, and the Great Master is the initial reliance. The Dharma name received during ordination was Shan Meng, which means that it is like a newly sprouted plant that has not yet grown into a pillar. He received ordination in the second year of Zhenming, and the country was destroyed in the third year. Since he was established as the crown prince, he did not become a pillar of talent. Later, using this matter to infer, it perfectly matched the meaning of 'Meng', so it is said that he finally understood the previous meaning. Emperor Wen of Sui was named Yang Jian, and he accepted the abdication of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He sent Prince Jin, Yang Guang, as the commander-in-chief, and used He Ruobi as the deputy commander to swallow the Chen Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty originally did not have the character 'zou' (走, meaning 'to walk'). After returning to the Tang Dynasty, 'zou' was added to the end. After Jinling was defeated, Lawyer Bing went to Jingxiang with a cane. On the way to Pengcheng, he suddenly dreamed of an old monk who said, 'Please respectfully protect the auspicious image of Tao Kan (陶侃, Táo Kǎn, a Jin Dynasty general).' So he went to Kuangshan and saw the image of Lawyer Yongyuan (永远, Yǒng Yuǎn, a monk's name), verifying the spiritual efficacy of the Yanmen Dharma Master (雁门法师, Yàn Mén Fǎ Shī, a monk from Yanmen). Soon after, Xunyang (浔阳, Xún Yáng, a place name) rebelled, and the temples were burned, but only this mountain was not invaded by the Jin soldiers. The merit of protecting the image must be here. The Later Lord and the officials set out from Jianye (建邺, Jiàn Yè, present-day Nanjing) to Chang'an together. Emperor Wen of Sui temporarily distributed the houses in the capital to them, and repaired everything inside and out, sending envoys to welcome and comfort them. The people of Chen sang and chanted, forgetting that their country had been destroyed. The envoy returned and reported that since the Later Lord... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

已下。大小在路五百里。累不绝。文帝叹曰。一至于此。竹曰䇿。木曰杖。今通举之。荆湘则荆湖北路二州也。盆城亦曰浦。盖枕于浦。今江州也。老僧则远法师。俗姓贾。雁门人也。陶侃者。晋书云。字士行。本南阳人。晋平吴。徙家卢江之浔阳。官至相位。侃作广州刺史。有渔人于海濵每夕见神光现。疑其灵异。因以白侃。乃遣吏寻验。俄见金像凌波。辄船载之。身有铭曰。阿王所造文殊师利像。侃乃送像于武昌县寒溪寺供养。侃后还荆州。欲载像行。像先辇正。应数人可举。及期遂加壮夫百数人。碓然不移。后更加牛车牵至舡。舡乃复没。使者惧。乃送返本寺。惠远法师造东林寺成。执炉向方祈之。其像飘然飞垔而至。大师欲往荆州远凭护像也。憩。暂息也。匡山亦曰卢山。山形四方。故曰匡也。周灵王太子曾在此山结庐。又曰焉东林乃惠远法师所立。西林乃惠求法师所立。二处祠堂皆有图像矣。俄而浔阳反叛者。顺叛相半曰叛。隋虽平陈。陈人未服。其时江南李棱等聚众作叛。又有朱莫间自称南徐刺史。兵据京口。又有晋陵顾世与沉玄懀。凡五处大乱。并元帅扬素驱兵削平。唐武宗毁天下寺院。有僧藏此像于山谷中。宣宗复教。其像隐去不见也。 秦孝王闻风延屈。先师对使而言。虽欲相见。终恐缘差 现代汉语译本： ‘已下’，指（运送佛像的船）已经出发。‘大小在路五百里’，指（运送佛像的船队）规模很大，在水路绵延五百里。‘累不绝’，指（运送的人和物资）络绎不绝。文帝叹息说：‘竟然到了这种地步！’‘竹曰䇿’，竹子做的叫‘䇿’，‘木曰杖’，木头做的叫‘杖’，现在都用上了。‘荆湘则荆湖北路二州也’，荆湘，就是指荆湖北路这两个州。‘盆城亦曰浦’，盆城也叫浦，大概是因为枕靠着浦，就是现在的江州。‘老僧则远法师’，老僧指的是远法师（Huiyuan），俗姓贾，是雁门人。陶侃（Tao Kan），《晋书》记载，字士行，原本是南阳人。晋朝平定吴国后，迁家到卢江的浔阳。官做到相位。陶侃做广州刺史时，有渔人在海边，每晚都看到神光出现，怀疑是神灵显现，因此告诉了陶侃。陶侃于是派官吏去寻找验证，不久就看到一尊金像漂浮在水面上，就用船载了回来。金像身上有铭文说：‘阿王所造文殊师利像’。陶侃于是把佛像送到武昌县的寒溪寺供养。陶侃后来回到荆州，想要把佛像运走，佛像一开始用小车拉，几个人就能举起来。等到要运走的时候，就增加了几百个壮汉，却仍然纹丝不动。后来又加上牛车拉到船上，船竟然沉没了。使者害怕，于是把佛像送回了原来的寺庙。惠远法师（Huiyuan）建造东林寺完成后，手执香炉向某个方向祈祷，那尊佛像就飘然飞到寺庙。大师想要去荆州，希望能依靠佛像的护佑。‘憩’，是暂时休息的意思。匡山也叫卢山，山形四方，所以叫匡。周灵王的太子曾经在这座山结庐。又说东林寺是惠远法师所建，西林寺是惠求法师所建，这两个地方的祠堂都有画像了。不久之后，浔阳发生了叛乱。顺从和叛乱的人各占一半叫做叛。隋朝虽然平定了陈朝，陈朝的人民并没有臣服。当时江南的李棱等人聚集民众作乱，又有朱莫间自称南徐刺史，占据京口。又有晋陵的顾世与沉玄懀，总共有五处发生大的叛乱，都由元帅杨素率兵平定了。唐武宗毁坏天下的寺院，有僧人把这尊佛像藏在山谷中。宣宗恢复佛教后，这尊佛像就隐去不见了。 秦孝王听到（先师）的名声，想要延请屈尊（先师）。先师对使者说，即使想要相见，最终恐怕因为缘分不够而错过。

English version: '已下' (Yi Xia), means the (ship carrying the Buddha statue) has already set sail. '大小在路五百里' (Da Xiao Zai Lu Wu Bai Li), means the (fleet transporting the Buddha statue) was very large, stretching for five hundred miles on the waterway. '累不绝' (Lei Bu Jue), means the (people and materials being transported) were continuous. Emperor Wen sighed and said, 'It has actually come to this!' '竹曰䇿' (Zhu Yue Ce), bamboo-made ones are called '䇿' (Ce), '木曰杖' (Mu Yue Zhang), wood-made ones are called '杖' (Zhang), and now both are being used. '荆湘则荆湖北路二州也' (Jing Xiang Ze Jing Hu Bei Lu Er Zhou Ye), Jing Xiang refers to the two prefectures of Jinghu North Road. '盆城亦曰浦' (Pen Cheng Yi Yue Pu), Pen Cheng is also called Pu, probably because it is located near Pu, which is now Jiangzhou. '老僧则远法师' (Lao Seng Ze Yuan Fa Shi), the old monk refers to Dharma Master Huiyuan (惠遠), whose secular surname was Jia, and he was from Yanmen. Tao Kan (陶侃), according to the Book of Jin, his courtesy name was Shixing, and he was originally from Nanyang. After the Jin Dynasty pacified the Wu Kingdom, he moved his family to Xunyang in Lujiang. He rose to the position of prime minister. When Tao Kan was the governor of Guangzhou, a fisherman saw divine light appearing every night on the seashore, suspecting it was a divine manifestation, so he told Tao Kan. Tao Kan then sent officials to investigate and verify, and soon they saw a golden statue floating on the water, so they loaded it onto a boat and brought it back. There was an inscription on the statue that said: 'Image of Manjushri Bodhisattva made by King A'. Tao Kan then sent the Buddha statue to Hánxī Temple in Wuchang County for worship. Tao Kan later returned to Jingzhou and wanted to transport the statue away, the statue could be lifted by a small cart and a few people at first. When it was time to transport it, hundreds of strong men were added, but it still did not move. Later, ox carts were added to pull it onto the boat, but the boat sank. The messenger was afraid, so he sent the Buddha statue back to its original temple. After Dharma Master Huiyuan (惠遠) completed the construction of Donglin Temple, he held an incense burner and prayed in a certain direction, and the Buddha statue floated and flew to the temple. The master wanted to go to Jingzhou, hoping to rely on the protection of the Buddha statue. '憩' (Qi), means to rest temporarily. Kuang Mountain is also called Lu Mountain, and the mountain shape is square, so it is called Kuang. The prince of King Ling of Zhou once built a hut on this mountain. It is also said that Donglin Temple was built by Dharma Master Huiyuan, and Xilin Temple was built by Dharma Master Huiqiu, and there are portraits in the ancestral halls of these two places. Soon after, a rebellion broke out in Xunyang. Those who obeyed and those who rebelled were half and half, called rebellion. Although the Sui Dynasty pacified the Chen Dynasty, the people of the Chen Dynasty did not submit. At that time, Li Leng and others in Jiangnan gathered people to rebel, and Zhu Mojian claimed to be the governor of Nanxu, occupying Jingkou. There were also Gu Shi and Shen Xuanwei in Jinling, and there were a total of five major rebellions, all of which were pacified by Marshal Yang Su leading troops. Emperor Wuzong of Tang destroyed the temples in the world, and a monk hid this Buddha statue in a mountain valley. After Emperor Xuanzong restored Buddhism, this Buddha statue disappeared. King Xiao of Qin heard of (the Preceptor's) reputation and wanted to invite (the Preceptor) to condescend. The Preceptor said to the envoy that even if he wanted to meet, he was ultimately afraid of missing the opportunity due to insufficient affinity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。既而王人催促。迫不得止。将欲解䌫。忽值大风。累旬之间妖贼卒起。水陆壅隔遂不成行。 秦王。百录中有二书请住安州方等寺。隋文帝五子。一房陵王勇。二炀帝。三秦孝王俊。四越王秀。五汉王谅。妖贼者。炀帝纪云。江南高智惠等相聚作乱。杨素传说祈江贼帅高智惠。自号东杨刺史。舡舰千艘。屯据要害。素计平之也。 至尊昔管淮海。万里廓清。慕义崇贤。归身如舍。遣使招引。束钵赴期。师云。我与大王深有因缘。顺水背风不日而至。菩萨律仪即从禀受。 尚书禹贡云。淮海惟杨州。至尊者乃天子之号也。初受戒时自号晋王。此传后成。故有此呼也。 天台智者大师别传上卷 卍新续藏第 77 册 No. 1535 智者大师别传注 天台智者大师别传下卷 四明沙门 昙照 注 先师初陈寡德。次让名僧。后举同学。三辞不免。仍求四愿。一。虽好学禅。行不称法。年既西夕。迈守绳床。抚臆论心。假名而已。吹嘘在彼。恶闻过实。愿勿以禅法见欺。二。生在边表。长逢离乱。身闇庠序。口拙暄凉。方外虚玄。久非其分。域间樽节。一无可取。虽欲自慎。终恐朴直忤人。愿不责其规矩。三。微欲传灯以报法恩。若身当戒范。应重去就。去就若重。 现代汉语译本：不久，秦王的人催促出发，情况紧急无法停止。正要解开缆绳时，忽然遇到大风。连续数旬，妖贼突然出现，水路都被阻塞，于是无法成行。 秦王（指隋朝的秦孝王俊），《百录》中有两本书请求住在安州方等寺。隋文帝有五个儿子，一是房陵王勇，二是炀帝（杨广），三是秦孝王俊，四是越王秀，五是汉王谅。妖贼，炀帝的纪传中记载，江南的高智慧等人聚集作乱。《杨素传》说祈**率领高智慧，自号东杨刺史，拥有船舰千艘，屯兵占据要害。杨素设计平定了他们。 至尊（指隋文帝）过去管辖淮海地区，使万里之内都得到安定清平。他仰慕道义，崇尚贤能，像对待自己的家一样对待有德之人。派遣使者招引智者大师，大师带着钵如约前往。智者大师说：‘我与大王有很深的因缘，顺水顺风，不用多久就能到达。’菩萨的律仪就是从那时禀受的。 《尚书·禹贡》中说：‘淮海是杨州的地方。’至尊是天子的称号。智者大师最初受戒时自号晋王，这部传记是后来写成的，所以有这样的称呼。 《天台智者大师别传》上卷 卍新续藏第 77 册 No. 1535 《智者大师别传注》 《天台智者大师别传》下卷 四明沙门昙照 注 先师（智者大师）最初说自己德行浅薄，接着推让给有名望的僧人，后来又推举同学，三次推辞都没有被允许。于是请求四个愿望：第一，虽然喜欢学习禅定，但行为与佛法不相符。年纪已经大了，只能勉强守护禅床，抚摸着胸口谈论心性，只是假借名义而已。吹嘘赞扬都在别人那里，厌恶听到过分的赞美。希望不要用禅法来欺骗我。第二，出生在边远地区，长期遭遇离乱，不熟悉官场礼仪，不善于寒暄客套。方外虚玄之事，很久以来就不是我所擅长的；世俗的礼节，我也没有什么可取的。即使想要谨慎小心，最终恐怕还是会因为朴实率直而冒犯他人。希望不要苛责我的行为是否合乎规矩。第三，稍微想要传灯来报答佛法的恩情。如果自身符合戒律规范，应该慎重考虑去留。去留如果很重要，
