English version: His courtesy name was Daolin. He went to Shanyin to lecture on the Vimalakirti Sutra. At that time, Xu Xun served as the chief lecturer. Daolin understood one meaning, and everyone thought that Xu Xun could not understand it. Xu Xun set a difficult problem, and everyone thought that Daolin could not answer it. Their debates and questions never stopped. At that time, someone from Shanshan gave Daolin a horse, and Daolin accepted and raised it. At that time, some people ridiculed him, and Daolin said, 'I like its divine jun.' Someone gave Daolin a crane, and Daolin said, 'You are a thing that soars into the sky, how can you be a plaything for the eyes and ears?' So he opened the cage and released it. Faxiang's humor, Sengyuan's jokes Faxiang devoted himself to reciting and studying the scriptures. Later, he crossed the river to the south and stayed at Yuecheng Temple in Nanshan. He was unrestrained and dissolute, and sometimes even exposed his body and offended court officials. He only used words and laughter to tease each other. At that time, Sima Tian, the General of the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty, hated his lack of restraint, so he summoned him and poisoned him with poisoned wine. Faxiang drank three large glasses of poisoned wine in a row, and his expression did not change. Therefore, Sima Tian respected him very much. Kang Sengyuan came to Chang'an (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi). His appearance was mixed with Hu characteristics, and his speech had a Chinese accent. At that time, he met Yin Hao. Yin Hao asked Kang Sengyuan about the profound principles of Buddhist scriptures, but Kang Sengyuan debated the meaning of secular books about temperament. From day to dusk, Yin Hao could not refute him, so he changed his view of him. Wang Maohong of Langya teased Kang Sengyuan for his high nose and deep eyes. Kang Sengyuan replied jokingly to Wang Maohong, 'The poor monk's high nose is the mountain of the face; the deep eyes are the abyss of the face. If the mountain is not high, it is not spiritual; if the abyss is not deep, it is not clear.' His quick defense and jokes were like this. Chonghui climbs the ladder, Tongda enters the cauldron Chonghui was very generous when he was young, and he revived his reputation. Later, he stayed at Zhangxin Temple. In the early years of the Dali period (766-779), a Taoist priest, Shi Hua, submitted a memorial requesting to compete with Buddhism in teaching methods. So he erected a ladder made of knives in front of the Dongming Temple altar. Shi Hua climbed the knife ladder as if he were walking on steps. Shi Chonghui then erected a knife ladder in Zhangxin Temple, increasing it to a hundred feet. The knife ladder in Dongming Temple appeared very small. The knives were horizontally erected, and the blades were like the color of frost and snow. Chonghui climbed the knife ladder barefoot, as if walking on a flat road. He also stepped on the raging fire and entered the boiling oil soup, eating iron leaves in his mouth. Shi Hua covered his sleeves and retreated. Tongda understood the teachings from an early age --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version His dwelling place was not fixed. Then he entered Great White Mountain and stopped eating. When hungry, he ate grass, and when resting, he sat upright on the treetop. Later, the great general Xue Wanjun heard of this and found it extraordinary. He welcomed him to his private residence and provided for him for more than a hundred days. He did not violate the proper conduct. Suddenly, one night, he demanded food and insisted on eating. It took great effort to find food for him. His behavior was also eccentric, wanting to enter the inner chamber to sleep at night. The general's brothers were furious and beat him almost to death. He looked up and said, 'You have beaten my flesh and blood, making it unclean. You can make soup to wash it away.' When the soup was boiling, he took off his clothes and entered the pot, as if the water was cold. The people nearby found it strange, but he still asked to add more fire. Then the whole household was greatly surprised. Huilin's Buddha Image Grows Beard, Tan Yi's Image Sheds Tears Huilin lived in Jianming Temple. The temple had a sculpted Buddha image, which Huilin often offered to and diligently worshiped every day. Suddenly, one day, he saw the Buddha image grow thirty strands of beard. Huilin then summoned the monks of the temple to inquire, and everyone praised it as a spiritual response. Tan Yi, learned in the Tripitaka (the three divisions of Buddhist scriptures), was praised by the world. Later, he traveled through Shu, and the prefectural governor Mao Ju valued him greatly. Mao Ju suddenly obtained a sacred image of King Ashoka (an ancient Indian Maurya dynasty king, a protector of Buddhism), and worshiped the image day and night. Whenever there was a famine, he would see tears falling from the image like rain, as if it were crying. (Zhi) Eastern Flourishing, Still Widely Spread, Western Transformation, Can Be Known Cao said: The Buddhist teachings have flourished in the East since the Later Han Dynasty (25-220 AD), and it has been almost two thousand years. Some people have lived in seclusion in the forests and fields, and even the Biographies of Eminent Monks cannot record them extensively. Moreover, the Buddhist teachings in the western countries of India began in Sarnath (where the Buddha first taught) and ended in Kushinagar (where the Buddha attained Nirvana). The saints and sages supported it, and the matter was vast and extensive, which can be known. Now, in the Biographies of Eminent Monks, I have slightly selected some miraculous events and compiled them into 'Mengqiu of the Shakya Clan,' with the aim of encouraging and guiding later generations of young Confucian scholars to follow in the footsteps of the saints and sages.
