English version More than a hundred ruffians were summoned to seize the autumn crops of Hui Shan. Everyone was worried. Gong said, 'Don't worry.' Then he took a large stone that about thirty people could turn. Gong picked it up alone and threw it far away like a small clod of earth. The ruffians scattered in all directions at once. (犳 is pronounced bào, which is an abbreviation of the character 豹 (leopard). It is also pronounced sháo, which refers to the pattern of a leopard. 'Accompanied by one person' is written as 'three people' in the original biography. The text of the biography is suspected to be erroneous.) Dao Feng was known in the world as a man who had attained enlightenment. He was admired and respected by Emperor Gaozu of Qi (Southern Qi Dynasty, 479-502 AD). The emperor ordered wine and a whole steamed bear to be placed in the palace hall, and ordered Dao Feng to enter the hall and partake of the food. Dao Feng did not decline at all and ate his fill with great relish. The emperor laughed and returned to the palace, telling his disciples, 'Except for the things on the bedside.' When the bed was removed, the steamed bear meat that the emperor had bestowed earlier was seen to be intact, with no sign of having been eaten. The disciples were all very surprised. (The character 置 (zhì, place) in 置于殿上 (zhì yú diàn shàng, placed in the palace hall) is suspected to be written upside down and should be read as 帝命置酒及一蒸罴于殿上 (dì mìng zhì jiǔ jí yī zhēng pí yú diàn shàng, the emperor ordered wine and a whole steamed bear to be placed in the palace hall)) Monk Shi had double pupils, and Dharma-show had connected eyebrows. Monk Shi was born with double pupils (referring to having two pupils in one eye), and light radiated outwards from his eyes. He had black moles around his mouth, slanting in the shape of a dipper. He carried a phoenix egg under his armpit, and all seven parts of his body were flat. People all considered him to be extraordinary. Indeed, he entered into the nature of understanding reason in Buddhism. Emperor Wen of the Zhou Dynasty (Northern Zhou Emperor Wen, 557-560 AD) decreed to Monk Shi, 'Master's eyes have double pupils, resembling Yu Shun. Your back is raised and hunched, resembling the Duke of Zhou. You can be called a treasure of the world.' Dharmamitra, which translates to Fa Xiu (法秀) in Chinese, was a person from the Western regions of India (西竺). He came to the Han lands. At the age of seven, he was very disciplined and good at understanding various scriptures. He was born with connected eyebrows, and his appearance was strange. Therefore, the people here called him the 'Connected Eyebrow' Chan Master. (来于. According to the original biography, it is suspected that it should be 来游 (lái yóu, came to travel)) Hui Qian had white jade, and Bian Xiang had purple ganoderma. Hui Qian's talent for preaching and speaking made him famous throughout the world. The emperor ordered the sending of relics. During the construction of a pagoda at Anhe Temple in Haizhou, when digging the foundation, a piece of white jade more than a foot wide and with bright light was suddenly sensed. People all considered it to be extraordinary. Bian Xiang studied scriptures and treatises from a young age and was also proficient in Confucianism. The emperor ordered the sending of relics. At Dayu Temple in Wuzhou, five-colored light suddenly rose. Purple ganoderma branches three feet long were obtained at the site where the pagoda was built. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

尺余。光色殊异。(吴州。本传作越州。又三尺余作二尺三寸) (铣)智藏踞座 道安登辇 智藏。少而神气。长乃晓释宗。武帝重之。频请入内讲演。敕升御座。群臣议曰。御座唯天子所升。沙门不可沾预。藏闻之。勃然作色。上正殿。踞法座曰。贫道昔为吴中俗官。尚不惭御榻。况复乃祖定光金轮释子耶。檀越若杀贫道即杀。不虑无受生之处。帝乃罢敕。依前升座。 道安。性行高明而形貌陋黑。时人语曰漆道人。惊四邻。秦苻坚深加礼重。坚与诸小国书云。晋氏伐吴。利在二陆。今朕破汉南。获士一人有半尔。仆射权翼曰。未审谁耶。坚曰。安法师一人。习凿齿半人。后坚出游东苑。命安法师升辇同载。权翼谏曰。臣闻天子法驾侍中陪乘。安师毁形。不可参厕。坚勃然作色曰。安师道冥至境。德为时尊。朕举天下之重未足以易之。非卿辈举之荣。是朕之显也。仍敕权翼扶法师登辇。 法开才华 昙延机辩 于法开。以义解才能知名天下。与谢安．王文度等为文学之友。故孙绰目之曰。深通内外。才华瞻逸。其在开公乎。晋哀帝累请讲唱。 昙延。身长九尺五寸。手垂过膝。大晓三藏。机辩非常。为周大祖礼重。后入秦境。时陈有使周弘正者。深穷释教兼晓儒宗。机辩过 现代汉语译本 一尺多长，光泽和颜色非常奇异。（吴州，原本记载为越州，又说三尺多长，实为二尺三寸） （铣）智藏占据御座，道安登上御辇 智藏，年少时就显得很有神采，长大后精通佛学。武帝很器重他，多次请他入宫讲经说法，并下令让他登上御座。群臣议论说，御座只有天子才能坐，僧人不能沾边。智藏听了，勃然变色，登上正殿，占据法座说：‘贫僧过去在吴中做俗官时，尚且不觉得坐在皇帝的床榻上有什么不妥，更何况我是你们的祖先定光佛金轮王的弟子呢？施主如果杀了贫僧，那就杀吧，不用担心我没有投胎的地方。’武帝于是取消了命令，仍然让他像之前一样升座。 道安，天性高洁，行为光明磊落，但容貌丑陋黝黑。当时的人称他为‘漆道人’，名声远扬。前秦苻坚对他非常尊敬。苻坚给各小国的信中说：‘晋朝攻打吴国，利益在于得到了陆机、陆云。现在我攻破汉南，得到的人才是一个半。’仆射权翼问：‘不知道是谁？’苻坚说：‘是道安法师一人，习凿齿半人。’后来苻坚出游东苑，命令道安法师登上御辇一同乘坐。权翼劝谏说：‘臣听说天子的法驾由侍中陪同乘坐。道安法师形貌有损，不适合参与其中。’苻坚勃然变色说：‘道安法师的道行深奥，达到了极高的境界，他的德行被世人所尊重。我用整个天下的重要性都不足以交换他。不是你们抬高了他的荣耀，而是他显扬了我。’于是命令权翼扶法师登上御辇。 法开才华横溢，昙延机智善辩 于法开，以精通佛义和出众的才能闻名天下，与谢安、王文度等人是文学上的朋友。所以孙绰评价他说：‘既精通佛学，又通晓世事，才华横溢，无人能及，大概只有法开公才能做到吧。’晋哀帝多次请他讲经说法。 昙延，身高九尺五寸，双手下垂超过膝盖，精通三藏经典，机智善辩，非常人可比。受到北周太祖的礼遇和尊重。后来进入北周的领地。当时陈朝有使者周弘正，深入研究佛学，兼通儒家学说，机智善辩，超过常人。

English version It was a little over a foot long, with a very unusual luster and color. (Wuzhou, originally recorded as Yuezhou, and another account says it was over three feet long, but in reality, it was two feet and three inches.) (Xian) Zhicang occupied the throne, and Dao'an ascended the imperial carriage. Zhicang was spirited from a young age and became proficient in Buddhist teachings as he grew older. Emperor Wu highly valued him and repeatedly invited him to the palace to lecture on the scriptures, ordering him to ascend the throne. The courtiers discussed, saying, 'The throne can only be ascended by the Son of Heaven; a monk should not be allowed to partake.' Upon hearing this, Zhicang turned pale with anger, ascended the main hall, and occupied the Dharma seat, saying, 'When this poor monk was a secular official in Wuzhong, I did not feel ashamed to sit on the emperor's couch. How much more so now that I am a disciple of your ancestor, the Dingguang Golden Wheel Buddha? If the benefactors wish to kill this poor monk, then kill me. Do not worry that I will have nowhere to be reborn.' The emperor then rescinded the order, allowing him to ascend the seat as before. Dao'an was of noble character and upright conduct, but his appearance was ugly and dark. People at the time called him 'Black Daoist,' and his fame spread far and wide. Fu Jian (357-385) of the Former Qin Dynasty deeply respected him. Fu Jian wrote in letters to various small countries, 'The Jin Dynasty's attack on Wu benefited them by obtaining Lu Ji and Lu Yun. Now, I have conquered Hannan and obtained one and a half talents.' The Minister Quan Yi asked, 'I wonder who that is?' Fu Jian said, 'It is the Dharma Master Dao'an, one person, and Xi Zaochi, half a person.' Later, when Fu Jian went on a tour of the Eastern Garden, he ordered Dharma Master Dao'an to ascend the imperial carriage and ride with him. Quan Yi advised, 'I have heard that the emperor's carriage is accompanied by attendants. Dharma Master Dao'an's appearance is flawed and not suitable to participate.' Fu Jian turned pale with anger and said, 'Dharma Master Dao'an's path is profound, reaching the highest realm, and his virtue is respected by the world. The weight of the entire world is not enough to exchange for him. It is not that you are elevating his glory, but that he is glorifying me.' He then ordered Quan Yi to help the Dharma Master ascend the imperial carriage. Fa Kai was talented and eloquent, and Tan Yan was quick-witted and eloquent. Yu Fa Kai was known throughout the world for his mastery of Buddhist teachings and outstanding talent. He was a literary friend of Xie An, Wang Wendu, and others. Therefore, Sun Chuo commented on him, saying, 'He is proficient in both Buddhist and worldly affairs, and his talent is outstanding and unmatched. Perhaps only Duke Fa Kai can achieve this.' Emperor Ai of Jin repeatedly invited him to lecture on the scriptures. Tan Yan was nine feet five inches tall, with hands that hung down past his knees. He was proficient in the Tripitaka and was exceptionally quick-witted and eloquent. He was treated with courtesy and respect by Emperor Tai Zu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (557-572). Later, he entered the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there was an envoy from the Chen Dynasty, Zhou Hongzheng, who deeply studied Buddhism and was also well-versed in Confucianism. His wit and eloquence surpassed ordinary people. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

人游说三国。以周建德中衘命入秦。秦王见其机辩。朝堂大臣无敢对者。敕境内能言之士不限道俗与弘正对论。时刺史中山公宇文氏上表奏延入京。秦王乃大集贤能观其辩论。延直上座。秦主问曰。何不礼三宝。延曰自力兼微不假圣贤加助。遂与弘正论议三教。正被延数问不通。机辩不捷。便乃下座扬声叹伏。礼拜为师。旦夕亲近。目之曰昙延菩萨。 道整出尘 智称入善 道整。在俗姓赵名正。字文业。伪秦位至武威大守。性好讥谏。苻坚末年。坚宠鲜卑。正见坚及鲜卑。便乃歌曰。昔闻孟津河。千里作一曲。此水本自清。是谁搅令浊。坚动容曰是朕也。又曰。北园有一枣。布叶垂重荫。外虽饶棘刺。内实怀赤心。坚曰非赵文业耶。正因而忽悟释教。便乃出尘改名道整。与昙摩大三藏游于襄阳大传教法。(讥谏。疑当作规谏)。 智称。俗姓裴。幼乃性好弓马。十七便为武官。后北讨猃狁。每至交兵心怀慈悯。因乃叹曰。害人自济。非仁之志矣。便解甲投师出家。从南涧宗法师学习。大晓解群经。其名远振。后集学徒一万余人。 南阳雉鸠 法朗猴犬 有僧不出姓名。来于㔁州。日食二雉鸠。僧俗尽皆嫌恶。每馔羞之。次有贫士求乞。其僧乃分其二足与之共食。僧食讫。命水盥洗嗽 现代汉语译本 人游说三国。在周建德年间（572-579）奉命进入秦国。秦王见他机智善辩，朝堂大臣没有敢与他辩论的。于是下令国内能言善辩的人，不分僧俗，与弘正对论。当时刺史中山公宇文氏上表奏请延请他入京。秦王于是召集贤能之士观看他们的辩论。昙延直接登上座位。秦王问道：‘为何不礼敬三宝？’昙延说：‘依靠自身的力量尚且不足，不需要圣贤的帮助。’于是与弘正辩论三教。弘正被昙延多次提问，无法解答，辩论不胜。便下座扬声叹服，礼拜昙延为师，早晚亲近，称他为昙延菩萨。 道整出家，智称入善 道整，在俗时姓赵名正，字文业，在伪秦官至武威太守。生性喜欢规劝谏诤。苻坚末年，苻坚宠信鲜卑人。赵正见到苻坚和鲜卑人，便唱歌道：‘过去听说孟津河，千里才有一个弯。这水本来是清澈的，是谁搅浑了它？’苻坚听后动容说：‘说的是朕啊。’赵正又说：‘北园有一棵枣树，枝繁叶茂，树荫浓重。外面虽然长满棘刺，内心却怀着赤诚之心。’苻坚说：‘说的不是赵文业吗？’赵正因此忽然醒悟佛教，便出家改名道整，与昙摩大师一起在襄阳大力传播教法。（规谏，疑当作规谏）。 智称，俗姓裴。年幼时就喜欢弓马。十七岁便做了武官。后来北伐猃狁时，每到交战，心中都怀着慈悲怜悯之心。于是叹息道：‘伤害别人来成就自己，不是仁义之人的志向啊。’便脱下盔甲，投师出家，跟随南涧宗法师学习，精通各种经典，名声远扬。后来聚集学徒一万多人。 南阳雉鸠，法朗猴犬 有位僧人，不透露姓名，来到㔁州。每天吃两只雉鸠。僧人和俗人都很嫌恶他，每次都以吃雉鸠为耻。有一次，有个贫穷的士人来乞讨，这位僧人便把雉鸠的两只脚分给他一起吃。僧人吃完后，用水洗手漱口
