曷可迟留。于是净土圣相及诸花乐悉见在前。愚即说偈而逝。偈曰。空里千花罗网。梦中七宝莲池。踏得西归路稳。更无一点狐疑。(行业记) 东坡曰。已饥方食未饱先止。散步逍遥务令腹空。当腹空时即入静室。端坐默念数出入息。从一数至十。从十数至百数至数百。此身兀然此心寂然。与虚空等不烦禁制。如是久之一息自住。不出不入时。觉此息从毛窍中八万四千云烝雾起。无始已来诸病自除。诸障消灭。自然明悟。譬如盲人忽然有眼。尔时不用寻人指路也。(大全) 灵芝照律师。钱塘人。幼有夙成。年十八以通经得度。在沙弥中已为众讲解习毗尼。每怅然兴恨无所师承。时处谦法师深得天台之道。师见之曰真吾师矣。请居坐下。风雨寒暑日行数里。谦每讲必待师至。或少后众以过时为请。谦必曰。听讲人未至。其爱之若此。师欲弃所习而从之。谦曰。近世律教中微。汝他日必为宗匠。当明法华以弘四分。吾道不在兹乎。师乃慱究群宗以律为本。非苟言之实允蹈之。尝依南山。六时致礼昼夜行道。持盂乞食衣唯大布。食不过中一钵三衣。囊无长物。凡有祈禬诚达穹昊。祈蝗而蝗出境。祈雨而雨成霖。述古庞公命师祷雨。忏未绝口震雷大霔。公曰。吾家数世不事佛矣。今遇吾师不得不归向也。太师 现代汉语译本 何必迟疑逗留？于是西方净土的庄严景象以及各种鲜花和音乐都显现在眼前。这愚人便说了偈语后去世。偈语说：‘空中布满千朵鲜花编织的罗网，梦中呈现七宝装饰的莲花池。踏上稳稳当当的西归之路，心中再没有一点狐疑。’（出自《行业记》） 苏东坡说：‘等到饥饿时才吃饭，还没吃饱就停止。散步时悠闲自在，务必使腹中空虚。当腹中空虚时，就进入安静的房间。端正坐好，默默地数自己的呼吸，从一数到十，从十数到一百，从一百数到几百。这时身体安稳不动，内心寂静无声，与虚空相等，不需要任何约束。这样持续一段时间，呼吸自然停止，不再呼出也不再吸入。感觉这气息从毛孔中像八万四千朵云一样蒸腾升起，从无始以来所患的各种疾病自然消除，各种业障消灭。自然而然地明悟，就像盲人忽然有了眼睛一样。这时就不需要别人指路了。’（出自《大全》） 灵芝照律师，钱塘人。从小就很有天赋。十八岁时因为精通佛经而出家。在沙弥中就已经为大家讲解《毗尼》（Vinaya，戒律）。常常怅然若失，遗憾没有老师可以师从。当时处谦法师深得天台宗的精髓。灵芝照律师见到他后说：‘这真是我要寻找的老师啊！’于是请求到他门下学习。无论刮风下雨，严寒酷暑，每天都要走几里路。处谦法师每次讲经说法，都一定要等灵芝照律师到了才开始。有时灵芝照律师稍微晚到一会儿，大家就以时间已过为由请求开始。处谦法师一定会说：‘听讲的人还没到。’他喜爱灵芝照律师就像这样。灵芝照律师想要放弃自己所学的去跟随处谦法师学习天台宗。处谦法师说：‘近来律宗衰微，你将来必定会成为律宗的宗师。应当通达《法华经》（Lotus Sutra）来弘扬《四分律》（Dharmaguptaka Vinaya）。我的道不在这些方面啊。’于是灵芝照律师广泛研究各个宗派，以律宗为根本。他不是随便说说，而是真正地去实践。他曾经效法南山律师，每天六时都虔诚地礼拜，日夜不停地修行。手持钵盂乞食，身上只穿粗布衣服。吃饭不超过中午，只有一钵饭和三件衣服。口袋里没有多余的东西。凡是有祈祷的事情，他的诚心都能传达到上天。祈祷消除蝗虫，蝗虫就离开了境内；祈祷下雨，雨就下成了大雨。述古庞公命令灵芝照律师祈雨，忏悔还没有结束，就响起了震耳欲聋的雷声，下起了倾盆大雨。庞公说：‘我家几代人都不信佛了。今天遇到大师，不得不归向佛门了。’太师（指高官）

English version Why hesitate and linger? Then the sacred appearance of the Pure Land, along with various flowers and music, all appeared before him. This foolish one then spoke a verse and passed away. The verse says: 'In the sky, a thousand flowers are woven into a net; in a dream, a lotus pond adorned with seven treasures appears. Having stepped onto the steady path of returning to the West, there is no longer a trace of doubt.' (From 'Industry Records') Dongpo said: 'Eat only when hungry, and stop before being full. Stroll leisurely, making sure the stomach is empty. When the stomach is empty, enter a quiet room. Sit upright and silently count your breaths, from one to ten, from ten to one hundred, from one hundred to several hundred. At this time, the body is stable and unmoving, the mind is silent and still, equal to the void, without any need for restraint. Continue like this for a period of time, and the breath will naturally stop, neither exhaling nor inhaling. Feel this breath rising from the pores like eighty-four thousand clouds, and all the diseases suffered since beginningless time will naturally be eliminated, and all obstacles will be extinguished. Naturally awaken, just like a blind person suddenly gaining sight. At that time, there is no need for others to point the way.' (From 'Complete Works') Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao, a native of Qiantang, possessed innate talent from a young age. At the age of eighteen, he became a monk due to his mastery of the scriptures. Among the novice monks, he was already explaining the 'Vinaya' (discipline). He often felt lost and regretted not having a teacher to learn from. At that time, Dharma Master Chuqian deeply understood the essence of the Tiantai school. When Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao saw him, he said, 'This is truly the teacher I have been seeking!' So he requested to study under him. Regardless of wind, rain, cold, or heat, he would walk several miles every day. Dharma Master Chuqian would always wait for Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao to arrive before starting to lecture. Sometimes, Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao would be slightly late, and everyone would request to start because the time had passed. Dharma Master Chuqian would always say, 'The person who is listening to the lecture has not arrived yet.' He loved Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao like this. Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao wanted to abandon what he had learned and follow Dharma Master Chuqian to study the Tiantai school. Dharma Master Chuqian said, 'In recent times, the Vinaya school has declined. You will surely become a master of the Vinaya school in the future. You should master the 'Lotus Sutra' to promote the 'Dharmaguptaka Vinaya'. My path is not in these areas.' So Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao extensively studied various schools, taking the Vinaya school as the foundation. He did not just say it casually, but truly practiced it. He once followed Vinaya Master Nanshan, offering sincere prostrations six times a day, practicing day and night. He carried a begging bowl, wore only coarse cloth clothes. He ate no later than noon, with only one bowl of rice and three robes. There were no extra items in his bag. Whenever there were prayers, his sincerity could reach the heavens. When he prayed to eliminate locusts, the locusts left the territory; when he prayed for rain, the rain turned into a heavy downpour. Shu Gu Pang Gong ordered Vinaya Master Lingzhi Zhao to pray for rain. Before the repentance was finished, deafening thunder sounded, and a torrential rain fell. Pang Gong said, 'My family has not believed in Buddhism for generations. Today, meeting the master, I have no choice but to turn to Buddhism.'

史越王题其碑阴曰。儒以儒缚。律以律缚。学者之大病。唯师三千威仪八万细行具足无玷。而每蝉蜕于定慧之表。毗尼藏中真法主子。故能奋数百岁后直与南山比肩。功实倍之。向使师身不披缁。必为儒宗特立超诣。惜哉。师没后二十六年。遗馨不泯。朝廷锡号大智律师。塔曰戒光。以赐谥之宠不及载刘公之文。因书于后。(塔铭) 大慧禅师谒湛堂准和尚指以入道捷径。慧横机无让。准诃之曰。汝不悟者。病在意识领会。是为所知障矣。时逸士李商老参道于准。适有言曰。道须神悟。妙在心空。体之不假于聦明。得之顿超于闻见。李击节曰。何必读四库书然后为学哉。以故结为方外友。准示寂。慧谒丞相无尽居士请准塔铭。公雅以禅学自许。非具大知见无敢登其门。慧承颜接词绰有余裕。公称之曰。子禅逸格矣。慧曰奈自未肯邪。公曰若尔见川勤可也。于是谒圆悟京之天宁。因升坐次。举僧问云门如何是诸佛出身处。门云东山水上行。若有人问天宁。即向他道。熏凤自南来殿阁生微凉。慧忽然前后际断。虽然动相不生。却在净颗颗处。每入室。悟曰。也不易。尔得到者个田地。可惜死了不能得活。不疑语句是为大病。不见道悬崖撒手自肯承当。末后再苏欺君不得。须信有者个道理始得。悟室中尝问有句无句如 现代汉语译本：史越王在石碑背面题写道：‘儒家被儒家束缚，律宗被律宗束缚，这是学者的最大弊病。只有像律师这样，三千威仪和八万细行都圆满无缺，却能超脱于禅定和智慧之外，堪称毗尼藏中的真正法主。’所以他才能在数百年后，直接与南山律师（唐代律师，义净(635-713)）相提并论，功绩甚至超过他。如果律师没有出家，必定会成为儒家的杰出代表。可惜啊！律师去世二十六年之后，他的美名依然没有消失。朝廷赐予他‘大智律师’的称号，塔名为‘戒光’。因为赐予谥号的恩宠没有记载刘公的文章，所以记录在后面。（塔铭） 大慧禅师拜访湛堂准和尚，准和尚指点他入道的捷径。大慧禅师随机应变，毫不逊色。准和尚呵斥他说：‘你不能领悟，病根在于用意识去领会，这就是所知障啊！’当时，隐士李商老在准和尚处参禅悟道，恰好有人说：‘道须要靠神悟，妙处在于心空。体会它不需要依靠聪明，得到它就能立刻超越听闻。’李商老拍手叫绝说：‘何必读遍四库全书才能成为学者呢？’因此与大慧禅师结为方外之友。准和尚圆寂后，大慧禅师拜访丞相无尽居士，请求他撰写准和尚的塔铭。无尽居士一向以精通禅学自诩，不是具有大智慧见解的人，他是不允许登门的。大慧禅师应对从容，言辞得体。无尽居士称赞他说：‘你的禅风洒脱啊！’大慧禅师说：‘只是自己还不认可。’无尽居士说：‘如果这样，见川勤禅师就可以了。’于是大慧禅师拜访了圆悟克勤禅师在天宁寺。在圆悟克勤禅师升座说法时，他引用僧人问云门文偃禅师的话：‘如何是诸佛出身处？’云门文偃禅师回答说：‘东山水上行。’如果有人问天宁禅师，就对他说：‘熏风从南边吹来，殿阁里感到微微凉意。’大慧禅师忽然感到前后念头断绝。虽然动相不生，却在清净明澈处。每次进入圆悟克勤禅师的房间，圆悟克勤禅师都说：‘也不容易啊！你到达这个田地，可惜死了不能复活。’不怀疑语句是最大的毛病。没听过‘悬崖撒手，自肯承担，末后再苏，欺君不得’这句话吗？必须相信有这个道理才行。圆悟克勤禅师在房间里曾经问：‘有句无句，如……’

English version: Shi, the King of Yue, inscribed on the back of the stele: 'Confucianism is bound by Confucianism, and the Vinaya is bound by the Vinaya. This is the greatest malady of scholars. Only a Vinaya Master, whose three thousand dignities and eighty thousand minor practices are complete and flawless, can transcend both Samadhi and Prajna, and is a true Dharma Lord within the Vinaya Pitaka.' Therefore, he can be compared directly with Vinaya Master Nanshan (Tang Dynasty Vinaya Master, Yijing (635-713)) hundreds of years later, and his merits even surpass him. If the Vinaya Master had not become a monk, he would surely have become an outstanding representative of Confucianism. Alas! Twenty-six years after the Vinaya Master's death, his good name has not disappeared. The court bestowed upon him the title 'Great Wisdom Vinaya Master,' and the pagoda was named 'Jie Guang' (Precept Radiance). Because the favor of bestowing the posthumous title was not recorded in Duke Liu's article, it is recorded here. (Pagoda Inscription) Chan Master Dahui visited Venerable Zhantang Zhun, who pointed out the shortcut to entering the Tao. Chan Master Dahui responded readily and without reservation. Venerable Zhun rebuked him, saying: 'Your inability to comprehend lies in using consciousness to understand, which is the obstacle of what is known!' At that time, the recluse Li Shanglao was practicing Chan with Venerable Zhun, and someone happened to say: 'The Tao must be understood through spiritual enlightenment, and its wonder lies in the emptiness of the mind. To experience it does not require intelligence, and to attain it immediately transcends hearing and seeing.' Li Shanglao clapped his hands and exclaimed: 'Why must one read all the books in the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library in Four Sections) to become a scholar?' Therefore, he became a friend of Chan Master Dahui outside the mundane world. After Venerable Zhun passed away, Chan Master Dahui visited Prime Minister Layman Wujin, requesting him to write the inscription for Venerable Zhun's pagoda. Layman Wujin always prided himself on his mastery of Chan, and he would not allow anyone without great wisdom and insight to enter his door. Chan Master Dahui responded calmly and spoke appropriately. Layman Wujin praised him, saying: 'Your Chan style is unrestrained!' Chan Master Dahui said: 'But I myself do not approve of it.' Layman Wujin said: 'If so, you can see Chan Master Jianchuan Qin.' Thereupon, Chan Master Dahui visited Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin at Tianning Temple. When Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin ascended the seat to preach, he quoted a monk's question to Chan Master Yunmen Wenyan: 'What is the birthplace of all Buddhas?' Chan Master Yunmen Wenyan replied: 'Walking on the water of Dongshan.' If someone asks Chan Master Tianning, tell him: 'The gentle breeze blows from the south, and a slight coolness arises in the halls and pavilions.' Chan Master Dahui suddenly felt that his past and future thoughts were cut off. Although the appearance of movement did not arise, he was in a state of pure clarity. Each time he entered Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin's room, Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin would say: 'It is not easy! You have reached this state, but it is a pity that you cannot come back to life after death.' Not doubting words is the greatest fault. Have you not heard the saying, 'Let go of the cliff, willingly take responsibility, and if you revive later, you cannot deceive the ruler'? You must believe in this principle. Chan Master Yuanwu Keqin once asked in his room: 'With or without a phrase, like...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
