English version: For more than ten years, he abandoned sensual pleasures and focused on studying the doctrines of the ancestral masters. When Chan Master Fohui Quan came to N禅 (Nán Chán, Southern Chan Monastery) in Quzhou, he approached the Chan Master every day. Chan Master Quan never tolerated the slightest mistake from him. Later, he governed Qingzhou, and in addition to handling government affairs, he devoted himself to meditation. Suddenly, a great thunderclap shocked him, causing him to awaken suddenly. He composed a verse saying: 'Silently sitting in the public hall, leaning quietly on the desk, the source of the mind is still, clear as water. A thunderclap splits open the top of my head, awakening what I had from before.' Chan Master Quan heard this and said: 'Zhao Yuedao has struck it rich!' (From *Meixi Ji*) Chan Master Yangshan Ji, a native of Shaozhou with the surname Ye. After shaving his head, he dreamed of obtaining a large pearl, its light shining brightly. Upon waking, he said: 'This is the supreme mind treasure. Having obtained it, I should understand the ground of the mind.' Thereupon, he began to travel in all directions. After visiting Chan Master Damyuan, he had already grasped the profound meaning. Later, he visited Chan Master Weishan, and thus entered the inner sanctum. Chan Master Ji asked: 'What is the dwelling place of the true Buddha?' Chan Master Weishan said: 'Use the wondrous function of thinking without thinking, return to the infinite of thinking awareness. When thinking is exhausted, return to the source, the nature and phenomena are eternally abiding, phenomena and principle are not two, the true Buddha is thus, thus, unmoving.' Chan Master Ji immediately had a sudden awakening. When he received the secret seal, he led the assembly to live on Wangmang Mountain. The conditions for teaching had not yet ripened, so he went to Yuanzhou to visit Yangshan. Going up the river, two gods greeted him and asked: 'The deep mountains are extremely dangerous, where does the master come from?' The Chan Master said: 'I want to find a hermitage.' The gods said: 'Your disciples Fuqing have met you, and are willing to donate this mountain for the master to live in.' The Chan Master said: 'Since you are donating it to me, you must have a vast mind, and not see the faults of the monks, then I will accept your donation.' The gods said: 'Okay.' The gods then pointed to the foot of Jiyun Peak and said: 'There is no better place than here.' The Chan Master then built a thatched hut and lived there, eating wood and drinking stream water, sitting upright all day long. Not long after, the two gods came to visit and said: 'The disciples are about to increase, and the place where the disciples live is inconvenient, it should be changed.' At night, a violent wind and rain arose, and the temple was moved thirty *li* (Chinese mile) away to Dutian. The ancient statues and huge pine trees all went with it. That was the fourth month of summer in the third year of Huichang (843 CE). He sensed a strange monk coming through the air, saying: 'I came especially to the Eastern Land to pay homage to Manjusri Bodhisattva, but today I have met a small Sakyamuni.' From then on, the style of the Weiyang (潙仰) school greatly flourished in the world. When the Chan Master was about to pass away, the gods asked for final words. The Chan Master said: 'My illusory, bubble-like body arises and ceases according to conditions. When I came, I had nothing, what more can I seek when I leave?' The gods said: 'When the Buddhas enter Nirvana, the *devas* (gods) and *nagas* (dragons) all request instructions.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。愿毋违我。师以得法之师沩山祐禅师正月八日忌斋为嘱。殆今民人莫敢违。(寺记) 道法师。西京顺昌人。宣和诏改德士。师与林灵素抗。辩邪正。愬于朝廷。忤旨流道州监。防卒曰。此去万里。宜茹荤酒以助色力。师曰。死乃天命。佛禁不可。犯卒乃敬服师。未氐窜所前一日。郡守夜梦佛像荷枷入城。僚属亦有同梦者。翌早师至。大守语人曰。被罪之僧必异人也。未逾月郡人患疾者太半。师凿池祝水。饮者咸愈。于是一方尊事不啻父师。寻令逐便道由长沙。邂逅寂音。音以诗遗曰。道公胆大过身躯。敢逆龙鳞上谏书。只欲袒肩担佛法。故甘引颈受诛锄。三年窜逐心无愧。万里归来貌不枯。他日教门纲纪者。近闻靴笏趁朝趋。时公卿大夫谓师有文武才略。请加冠冤补官序分领兵权恢复故疆。师力辞。朝贤知志不可夺。奏请赐宝觉圆通法济之号。绍兴改元宣入。 上曰 先帝为妖术所惑。废卿形服。朕与卿去其黥涅可乎。师曰。臣虽感 圣恩。 先皇墨宝不忍毁除。 上曰。者僧到老倔强。许自便。绍兴三年师与道士刘若谦诣朝廷。正祈祷道场所班次。其[筣-禾+金]略曰。缘崇宁间林灵素等叨冒资品。紊乱朝纲。由是道压佛班。自建炎之来。所有道士官资已行追毁。既无官荫。当遵 祖宗旧制。伏望朝廷 现代汉语译本：希望不要违背我的意愿。师傅以得法的师傅沩山祐禅师（音译）正月八日忌日斋戒作为嘱托。大概如今百姓没有人敢违背。（寺记） 道法师（法号）。西京顺昌人。宣和（宋徽宗年号，1119-1125年）年间皇帝下诏改其为德士（道士的一种）。道法师与林灵素（北宋末年的道士）抗争，辩论邪正。向朝廷申诉。违背旨意被流放到道州监管。防守的士兵说：‘此去万里之遥，应该吃荤喝酒来增强体力。’道法师说：‘死是天命，佛的戒律不可违犯。’士兵于是敬佩顺服道法师。在到达流放地的前一天，郡守夜里梦见佛像戴着枷锁进入城中，同僚属下也有做同样梦的。第二天早上道法师到达。郡守告诉别人说：‘被定罪的和尚必定是异人啊。’不到一个月郡里的人患病者超过一半。道法师凿池祈祷水，饮用的人都痊愈了。于是一方百姓尊敬侍奉道法师不亚于自己的父母老师。不久朝廷下令让道法师顺便道由长沙返回。在长沙与寂音（法号）相遇，寂音用法诗赠送道法师说：‘道公胆子大过身躯，敢于触犯皇帝的逆鳞上书进谏。只想袒露肩膀担起佛法，所以甘愿引颈受诛杀。三年流放心中无愧，万里归来容貌不枯槁。他日佛教的纲纪者，近来听说穿着官服上朝。’当时公卿大夫认为道法师有文武才略，请求加官进爵补官职分领兵权恢复故土。道法师极力推辞。朝廷贤臣知道道法师的志向不可改变，上奏请求赐予宝觉圆通法济之号。绍兴（南宋高宗年号，1131-1162年）改元（1131年）宣召道法师入朝。皇上说：‘先帝被妖术所迷惑，改变了你的僧人服饰。朕为你去掉脸上的刺字可以吗？’道法师说：‘臣虽然感谢皇上的恩德，但是先皇的墨宝不忍心毁除。’皇上说：‘这个和尚到老都倔强。’允许他自己方便行事。绍兴三年（1133年）道法师与道士刘若谦前往朝廷，匡正祈祷道场的班次。其中的要略是：因为崇宁（北宋徽宗年号，1102-1106年）年间林灵素等人冒领官职品级，扰乱朝纲。因此道教压在佛教之上。自从建炎（南宋高宗年号，1127-1130年）以来，所有道士的官职俸禄已经追回毁掉。既然没有官职庇荫，应当遵从祖宗旧制。希望朝廷

English version: 'May you not go against my wishes.' The master instructed that the memorial service on the eighth day of the first month for the esteemed Master Weishan You (transliteration), who had attained the Dharma, be observed. It seems that nowadays, no common person dares to disobey. (Temple Record) Dharma Master Dao (Dharma name). A person from Shunchang in Western Capital. During the Xuanhe period (1119-1125) of Emperor Huizong of Song, he was ordered to become a De Shi (a type of Daoist priest). The master resisted Lin Lingsu (a Daoist priest in the late Northern Song Dynasty), debating what was heretical and what was righteous. He appealed to the court. Disobeying the imperial decree, he was exiled to Daozhou under supervision. The guard said, 'This journey is ten thousand miles away. You should eat meat and drink wine to strengthen your body.' The master said, 'Death is determined by fate, but the Buddhist precepts cannot be violated.' The guard then respected and obeyed the master. The day before arriving at the place of exile, the prefect of the district dreamed at night that a Buddha statue entered the city wearing shackles, and his colleagues also had the same dream. The next morning, Dharma Master Dao arrived. The prefect told others, 'The monk who has been convicted must be an extraordinary person.' In less than a month, more than half of the people in the district were ill. The master dug a pond and prayed over the water, and those who drank it were healed. As a result, the people of the area respected and served Dharma Master Dao no less than their own parents and teachers. Soon, the court ordered Dharma Master Dao to return via Changsha. In Changsha, he met Jiyin (Dharma name), who presented Dharma Master Dao with a poem, saying, 'Dao Gong's courage exceeds his body, daring to offend the emperor's wrath by submitting a memorial. He only wants to bear the Buddha's Dharma on his shoulders, so he willingly offers his neck to be executed. Three years of exile without shame, ten thousand miles returning with an unwithering appearance. Those who will uphold the discipline of Buddhism in the future, I have recently heard, are rushing to court in official attire.' At that time, high-ranking officials believed that Dharma Master Dao had both literary and military talents, and requested that he be granted official titles, assigned official positions, and given military power to recover the lost territories. Dharma Master Dao strongly declined. The wise ministers of the court knew that Dharma Master Dao's aspirations could not be changed, and they requested that he be granted the title of 'Baojue Yuantong Faji'. During the first year of the Shaoxing period (1131-1162) (1131), Dharma Master Dao was summoned to the court. The emperor said, 'The late emperor was deceived by sorcery and changed your monastic robes. Can I remove the tattoos from your face?' The master said, 'Although I am grateful for Your Majesty's grace, I cannot bear to destroy the late emperor's calligraphy.' The emperor said, 'This monk is stubborn even in his old age.' He allowed him to act as he pleased. In the third year of the Shaoxing period (1133), Dharma Master Dao and the Daoist priest Liu Ruoqian went to the court to rectify the order of the prayer ceremonies in the Daoist temples. The main points were: Because during the Chongning period (1102-1106) of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Lin Lingsu and others fraudulently obtained official ranks and disrupted the court. Therefore, Daoism was placed above Buddhism. Since the Jianyan period (1127-1130), all the official positions and salaries of the Daoist priests have been recovered and destroyed. Since there is no official protection, the old system of the ancestors should be followed. It is hoped that the court --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
