English version A man traveled and persuaded during the Three Kingdoms period. During the JianDe era of the Zhou dynasty (572-579), he was ordered to enter the Qin state. The King of Qin, seeing his wit and eloquence, found no court officials who dared to debate with him. He then ordered all eloquent individuals within the realm, regardless of whether they were monks or laypeople, to engage in debate with Hongzheng. At that time, the regional inspector, Duke Yuwen of Zhongshan, submitted a memorial requesting that he be invited to the capital. The King of Qin then gathered wise and capable individuals to observe their debate. Yan directly ascended to the seat. The King of Qin asked, 'Why do you not pay homage to the Three Jewels (Triratna)?' Yan replied, 'Relying on one's own strength is barely sufficient; I do not need the assistance of sages and worthies.' Thereupon, he debated the Three Teachings (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism) with Hongzheng. Hongzheng was repeatedly questioned by Yan and could not answer, failing to win the debate. He then descended from his seat, loudly expressing admiration and submission, and bowed to Yan as his teacher, drawing close to him day and night, and calling him Bodhisattva Tanyan. Daozheng Leaves the World, Zhicheng Enters Goodness Daozheng, whose secular surname was Zhao and given name was Zheng, with the courtesy name Wenye, served as the Grand Administrator of Wuwei in the pseudo-Qin state. He was fond of offering advice and remonstrance. In the final years of Fu Jian, Fu Jian favored the Xianbei people. Zhao Zheng, upon seeing Fu Jian and the Xianbei people, sang a song: 'In the past, I heard of the Mengjin River, with a bend every thousand miles. This water was originally clear; who has stirred it and made it turbid?' Fu Jian was moved and said, 'You are speaking of me.' Zhao Zheng also said, 'In the northern garden, there is a jujube tree, its leaves spreading and providing heavy shade. Although it is covered with thorns on the outside, it holds a sincere heart within.' Fu Jian said, 'Are you not Zhao Wenye?' Zhao Zheng then suddenly awakened to Buddhism, left the world, changed his name to Daozheng, and traveled with the Tripitaka Master Tamo to Xiangyang to greatly propagate the Dharma. (Remonstrance, suspected to be 'remonstrance'). Zhicheng, whose secular surname was Pei. From a young age, he loved archery and horsemanship. At the age of seventeen, he became a military officer. Later, when he went north to subjugate the Xianyun, he always held compassion in his heart whenever he engaged in battle. He then sighed and said, 'Harming others to benefit oneself is not the aspiration of a benevolent person.' He then removed his armor, became a disciple, and left home, studying with Dharma Master Zong of Nanjian, becoming proficient in various scriptures, and his name spread far and wide. Later, he gathered more than ten thousand disciples. Pheasant-Pigeon of Nanyang, Monkey-Dog of Falang There was a monk who did not reveal his name and came to 㔁zhou. He ate two pheasant-pigeons every day. Monks and laypeople alike disliked him, and they were ashamed of him for eating pheasant-pigeons every time. Once, a poor scholar came to beg, and the monk divided the two feet of the pheasant-pigeon and ate them with him. After the monk finished eating, he washed his hands and rinsed his mouth with water. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Suddenly, he saw the two pheasants and doves that had been inside him fly out of his mouth. One could walk, and the other crawled on the ground. The poor scholar was greatly surprised and, without realizing it, two more pheasants and doves flew out of his mouth, with fully formed feet. Taoists and laypeople alike were amazed by this and called him the Nanyang Pheasant-Dove Monk. Fa Lang, after entering the monastic life, lived in Ezhou, and his eating and drinking habits were the same as ordinary people, which was criticized at the time. He often kept a monkey and a dog, both of great size, who accompanied Lang in his movements and sitting, always together. When it was time to eat, the monkey and the dog would bring wooden bowls to receive food and eat with Lang. After eating, the monkey would place the wooden bowl on its head, ride on the dog's back, and travel with Lang. If Lang recited scriptures, the monkey and the dog would lie down and listen. Lang's voice was like thunder, but his lips did not move. His mysterious and strange nature was unfathomable. Dao Rong, at the young age of twelve, diligently studied. His teacher instructed him to first read secular books. He went to the village to borrow the 'Analects of Confucius', returning the book late in the evening, ultimately without borrowing it. Upon returning to his room, the teacher asked him the reason, and he replied, 'I have already recited it completely.' The teacher then borrowed a copy to verify, and not a single word was missing. Everyone was greatly astonished and considered him extraordinary. Later, he deeply studied the Threefold Canon (Tripitaka), and his name spread throughout the world (天下振名, it is suspected that it should be 振名天下). Zhi Xuan, courtesy name Houjue, surname Chen. His grandfather and father were both officials. Even as an infant in swaddling clothes, Zhi Xuan would show a joyful expression when seeing Buddhist monks. When he reached the age of five, his grandfather, seeing his intelligence, asked Zhi Xuan to compose a poem upon seeing flowers in bloom. Within a few steps, Zhi Xuan spontaneously composed a poem: 'Flowers bloom red on the trees, flowers fall leaving branches bare, only one remains, tomorrow it will surely follow the wind.' His grandfather exclaimed in amazement, 'I hoped this child would enter officialdom and bring honor to the family, but now seeing his aspirations, he is destined to enter the Buddhist gate.' Before a year had passed, Zhi Xuan indeed requested to leave home, was well-versed in scriptures and treatises, and was extraordinarily different. At the time, people were spreading stories about him. The Jin (266-420) dynasty monk Bian, studied under teachers Qian and Chang, deeply exploring the meaning of the scriptures. He had a loud voice. At that time, Liu Shao of Xinting invited him to recite scriptures, and his voice was clear and elegant, which moved a flock of cranes to fly down, caw in front of him, and listen attentively. They left after the recitation was finished. The Qi (479-502) dynasty monk Fan of Yindong, studied Confucian classics from a young age. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。后晓释教。时胶州刺史杜弼请于显义寺讲演。忽有群雁飞临法座伏听。讲终而去。后又感群雀来座前伏听。灵异至多。 普旷刵耳 静霭割心 普旷。勤苦为怀。多栖林野。后住樊州自静。夜宿寒林。有人索其首者。旷乃引刀将断。乞者止之。乃从索耳。旷乃便刵与。隋高祖时释氏大兴。黄巾生谤。旷乃争论。立理既平。又刵一耳。后两耳俱无。 静霭。学道以来遁于太一山。梁武帝知霭名。下诏以车舆从衡到山迎霭。欲位以上卿。霭乃不就。谓弟子曰。吾见大法沦废。吾无益于教。欲舍身命以答佛恩。众皆不许。学者慕恋。乃更撰三宝集二十卷示与学徒。帝又下诏劝请。欲自到山。霭潜往岩顶磐石之上。自割身肉段段布于石上。引肠挂松枝。自余筋肉手足头面脔折尽皆分散。唯见骨及心藏。乃割心捧之而卒。学徒惊骇。(舆。音豫。舁土器也。今文恐写误。疑当作辇舆之字。又从衡疑当作从卫) 慧果掘钱 慧义取金 慧果。习诵为务。忽于圊厕见一鬼致礼于果曰。昔为僧。作维那。多不如法。堕在啖[米/鬼]鬼中。知法师高明。愿为度脱。有钱三千埋在柹树根下。可为福因。果遂告众。因共掘之。得钱三千。为鬼作善。逾日复见。鬼曰已得脱苦矣。 慧义。久学佛乘。 现代汉语译本： 后晓法师阐释佛教教义，当时胶州刺史杜弼邀请他在显义寺讲经说法。忽然有一群大雁飞来，停在法座前，俯首静听。讲经结束后，雁群便飞走了。后来又感得一群麻雀飞来，在法座前俯首静听。这类灵异事件非常多。 普旷禅师割耳，静霭法师割心 普旷禅师，以勤劳刻苦为怀，经常居住在山林荒野。后来住在樊州自静寺。夜晚在寒冷的树林中休息时，有人向他索要首级。普旷禅师于是拿起刀准备自刎。乞求者阻止了他，转而向他索要耳朵。普旷禅师于是割下耳朵给了他。隋文帝杨坚时期（581年-604年）佛教大兴，有黄巾贼人诽谤佛教。普旷禅师于是与他们争论，通过辩论使道理得以澄清。之后他又割下另一只耳朵。后来他的两只耳朵都没有了。 静霭法师，学道以来隐遁在太一山。梁武帝萧衍得知静霭法师的名声，下诏用车辆仪仗到山中迎接静霭法师，想授予他上卿的官位。静霭法师没有接受。他对弟子们说：‘我看到大法衰落废弛，我对于佛教没有什么益处，我想舍弃身命来报答佛恩。’弟子们都不允许。学人们仰慕留恋他。于是他撰写了《三宝集》二十卷，展示给学徒们。梁武帝又下诏劝请，想要亲自到山中拜访他。静霭法师悄悄地前往岩顶的磐石之上，自己割下身上的肉，一段一段地铺在石头上，拉出肠子挂在松树枝上。其余的筋肉、手足、头面都被割裂分散。只剩下骨骼和心脏。于是他割下心脏捧着而去世。学徒们惊骇不已。 慧果法师掘钱，慧义法师取金 慧果法师，以诵经为日常功课。忽然在厕所里见到一个鬼向慧果法师行礼，说：‘我过去是个僧人，担任维那（寺院职务），很多事情做得不如法，堕落在啖[米/鬼]鬼（一种鬼的名字）中。知道法师您德行高明，希望您能为我超度。有三千枚铜钱埋在柹树（一种树）根下，可以作为行善的资本。’慧果法师于是告诉了大家，大家一起挖掘，得到了三千枚铜钱，为鬼魂做了善事。过了一天，鬼魂又来拜见，说已经脱离苦海了。 慧义法师，长期学习佛法。
