　　唐江州興果寺神湊律師伝
律師の名は神湊。京兆藍田の成氏の子である。生まれながらにして奇秀であった。幼い頃に世俗を出た。二十三歳で南嶽の希操律師から具足戒を受けた。化制二教にことごとく精通していた。特に四分律に精しかった。また鍾陵の大寂禅師に参じ、単伝の旨を叩いた。大暦八年、朝廷は経律論の三科をもって天下の出家を願う士を策試した。師はその選に中った。詔により江州興果寺に配属された。後に僧望に従って東林寺に移り住んだ。即ち雁門の遠公の道場である。甘露戒壇がそこにあった。仏事を継興し、化導は最も盛んであった。師の風操は俗を抜いていた。持律は極めて厳しく、起居動息すべてに常節があった。一盂で食し、一榻に居住した。麻衣を着て菅に寝ること、漆室に坐するが如くであった。二六時中、行道礼仏し、酷寒隆暑といえども未だかつて廃闕したことがなかった。このように四十余歳を経た。得た檀施はことごとく常住無尽財中に帰して、大衆と共にした。素より形貌は痩せ細り、これを視るに頽然として衣に勝えざるが如くであった。門人が薬剤を以て進めても揮い去った。元和十二年九月二十六日、疾に遘って坐化した。春秋七十四。夏臘五十一。その年十月十九日、門人は全身を奉じて本寺に塔した。得法弟子に道建、利弁、元審、元総等若干人があった。白居易公が郡司馬となり、生平師と世外の交わりを為していた。及びここに至って塔銘を作り、且つ偈を述べて悼んで曰く。本来菩提香火社を結び、共に煩悩電泡の身を嫌う。須らく惆悵して師に随い去るべからず。

　　唐智璀律師伝
律師の名は智璀。開元の道恒律師の嗣である。諸部毘尼にことごとく渉猟していた。而して四分律抄は尤も精熟するところであった。因って記十巻を造ってこれを解した。師もまた六十家の一つである。

　　唐懐業律師伝
律師の名は懐業。族姓は孟氏。祖父は本来北人であるが官に因って嶺外の人となった。師は壮歳に俗を出ることを好んだ。貞固律師を礼して師とした。戒行は清厳で遠志があった。孳孳として弘法を務めとした。一旦海に浮かんで仏逝国に至った。梵書を習学し、多く洞暁するところがあった。特に倶舎に粋であった。嘗て訳場に預かり、衆の称するところとなった。後にどこで終わったか知らない。

　　唐京兆聖寿寺恵霊律師伝
律師の名は恵霊。史にその姓氏郷里を詳らかにしていない。幼くして塵機を脱した。性は敏で学を好んだ。戒品を加えるに及び、志を毘尼に鋭くした。行解相副い、これによって声価は高邁であった。人皆敬畏すること神明の如くであった。大中七年、宣宗皇帝が荘厳寺に幸して仏牙を礼した。因って大塔に登って四望し、西北に廃址があるのを見て曰く。此れは昔の総持寺なり。悵然として久しくした。耆年に詔して往事を問うた。衆は師を推して対えしめた。帝はその詳明を嘉し、

【左頁上段】
法衣を賜った。且つ総持寺を修復するよう詔した。ここにおいて衆工が川のように臻り、三月十一日に経始し、六月某日に落成した。師は勅を奉じて綱任となった。律規は粛然とし、清衆はことごとく序があった。帝は大いに悦び、毎々優奨を加えた。寺は毎歳梨花蜜を貢いだ。色は白く味は佳く、蜂房の取る所のものに勝った。師は後に京兆聖寿寺で示寂した。

　　唐銭塘永福寺抱玉琳律師伝
律師の諱は恵琳。字は抱玉。俗姓は柯。新安の人である。幼齢で霊隠の金和尚に投じて弟子となった。一たび教典を習えば輒ち能く通暁した。大暦初年、霊山会で具足戒を受けた。三学一致して遺憾が無かった。而してその性は泉石を嗜み、栄名利養を視ること澹として物無きが若くであった。天眼に遁居した。即ち天目である。山の高さは三千丈。周囲三百里。天柱・廬阜と類している。登臨する者があれば数日にして到る。地は深僻で妖異が多い。上に二湖があり、これを東西目と謂う。また三池があり、蛟龍が縦横し、人は近づくことができない。毎歳五月、山神は形を易えて白鹿となり、震沢の龍と会する。この時風雨が最も暴れる。師は凡そここに二十余年在ったが、全く恐怖の意が無かった。元和二年、太守礼部員外城南の杜陟が師の徳を欽い、山を出ることを請うた。銭塘永福寺に住した。登壇度人すること四年。刺史兵部郎中裴常棣が天竺寺戒壇に延臨させた。幾もなく辞して永福に帰った。錬行の外、専ら演説に勤めた。学徒を策励し、善巧を曲尽した。二十年に向かい、高潔の操は終始渝らなかった。当

**Biography of Vinaya Master Shencou of Xingguo Temple in Jiangzhou**
The Vinaya Master's name was Shencou. He was a son of the Cheng family from Lantian in Jingzhao. Born with extraordinary refinement, he left the dusty world in his youth. At twenty-three he received full ordination from Vinaya Master Xicao of Nanyue. He mastered both transformative and regulatory teachings without exception. He was particularly expert in the Four-Part Vinaya. He also studied under Chan Master Daji of Zhongling and investigated the principle of direct transmission. In the eighth year of Dali, the court used examinations in the three subjects of sutra, vinaya, and abhidharma to test scholars throughout the realm who wished to become monks. The Master was selected. By imperial edict he was assigned to Xingguo Temple in Jiangzhou. Later he followed the monastic community and moved to Donglin Temple - the very monastery of Master Yuan of Yanmen. The Sweet Dew Ordination Platform was located there. He continued to promote Buddhist activities, and his transformative guidance was most flourishing. The Master's conduct and principles transcended the mundane. His observance of vinaya was extremely strict. His rising, resting, movement and stillness all had constant regularity. He ate from one bowl and dwelt on one couch. Wearing hemp robes and sleeping on sedge grass, he was like one sitting in a lacquer room. Throughout the twelve periods of day and night he practiced the Way and venerated the Buddha. Even through bitter cold and intense heat he never once neglected this. He continued thus for over forty years. All donations he received were entirely returned to the monastery's inexhaustible treasury and shared with the great assembly. His form and appearance were naturally gaunt and emaciated. Looking at him, he appeared so frail as if unable to bear his robes. When disciples offered him medicine, he waved them away. On the twenty-sixth day of the ninth month of the twelfth year of Yuanhe, he contracted illness and passed away in sitting meditation. He lived seventy-four years with fifty-one years in the dharma. That year on the nineteenth day of the tenth month, his disciples respectfully enshrined his whole body in a stupa at the home temple. His dharma-heir disciples included Daojian, Liben, Yuanshen, Yuanzong and several others. When Bai Juyi served as prefectural vice-governor, he had maintained a transcendent friendship with the Master throughout his life. At this time he composed a stupa inscription and also composed a verse to mourn him, saying: "Originally we formed a bodhi incense and fire society, together despising this body of afflictions like electric bubbles. Do not need to be melancholy and follow the Master in departure.

First request to become host in the Western [Pure Land]."

**Biography of Vinaya Master Zhicui**
The Vinaya Master's name was Zhicui. He was a successor of Vinaya Master Daoheng of the Kaiyuan era. He extensively studied all sections of vinaya, and was especially proficient in the Four-Part Vinaya Commentary. He therefore composed a ten-volume commentary to explain it. The Master was also one of the sixty schools.

**Biography of Vinaya Master Huaiye**
The Vinaya Master's name was Huaiye. His clan surname was Meng. His grandfather was originally a northerner but became a person of the Lingnan region through official appointment. In his mature years the Master preferred to leave lay life. He paid respects to Vinaya Master Zhenggu as his teacher. His precept conduct was pure and strict with far-reaching aspirations. He was diligent in making dharma propagation his duty. One day he sailed across the sea to the kingdom of Srivijaya. He studied Sanskrit texts and gained thorough understanding of much. He was particularly refined in Abhidharmakosa. He once participated in translation work and was praised by all. Later it is unknown where he died.

**Biography of Vinaya Master Huiling of Shengshou Temple in Jingzhao**
The Vinaya Master's name was Huiling. History does not detail his surname and native region. In youth he transcended worldly concerns. His nature was keen and he loved learning. When he received the precept grades, he sharpened his resolve toward vinaya. His practice and understanding supported each other, and through this his reputation became lofty. Everyone revered and feared him like a divine being. In the seventh year of Dazhong, Emperor Xuanzong visited Zhuangyan Temple to venerate the Buddha tooth. He then climbed the great pagoda and looked in all directions. Seeing ruins to the northwest he said: "This was formerly Zongchi Temple." He was melancholy for a long time. He issued an edict to question the elderly about past events. The assembly recommended the Master to respond. The emperor praised his detailed clarity and

**Left Page Upper Section**
bestowed dharma robes upon him. He also issued an edict to restore Zongchi Temple. Thereupon workers flowed in like rivers. Construction began on the eleventh day of the third month and was completed on a certain day of the sixth month. The Master respectfully accepted the imperial command to serve as director. The vinaya regulations were solemn and the pure assembly was all well-ordered. The emperor was greatly pleased and frequently added special commendations. The temple annually presented pear blossom honey. Its color was white and taste excellent, surpassing what was taken from beehives. The Master later demonstrated nirvana at Shengshou Temple in Jingzhao.

**Biography of Vinaya Master Baoyu Lin of Yongfu Temple in Qiantang**
The Vinaya Master's taboo name was Huiling, courtesy name Baoyu. His lay surname was Ke. He was from Xin'an. In childhood he took refuge with Master Jin of Lingyin as a disciple. Once he studied doctrinal texts he was immediately able to understand them thoroughly. At the beginning of Dali he received full ordination at the Vulture Peak Assembly. The three studies were unified without regret. His nature delighted in springs and rocks, viewing fame, reputation and material support as lightly as if they were nothing. He dwelt in seclusion at Tianyan - that is, Tianmu. The mountain rises three thousand zhang high with a circumference of three hundred li, similar to Tianzhu and Lufu. For those who climb it, it takes several days to reach. The terrain is deep, secluded and full of supernatural phenomena. Above are two lakes called East and West Eyes. There are also three pools where dragons run rampant - people cannot approach. Every year in the fifth month, the mountain spirit changes form into a white deer and meets with the dragon of Zhenze. At this time wind and rain are most violent. The Master lived there for over twenty years in all, completely without fear. In the second year of Yuanhe, Prefect Du Zhi of the Ministry of Rites from south of the city revered the Master's virtue and requested him to come down from the mountain to reside at Yongfu Temple in Qiantang. He ascended the platform to ordain people for four years. Prefectural Governor Pei Changdi of the Ministry of War invited him to preside over the ordination platform at Tianzhu Temple. Before long he declined and returned to Yongfu. Beyond cultivating practice, he specialized diligently in teaching and explanation. He encouraged students and exhausted all skillful means. For nearly twenty years his lofty and pure conduct never changed from beginning to end. Among the

**Left Page Lower Section**
scholar-officials of that time, Secretariat Drafter Bai Juyi, Chief Minister of the Court of Imperial Granaries Li Yougong and others all paid respectful visits and personally inquired about essential dharma. On the twenty-fifth day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Taihe he demonstrated extinction. His lay lifespan was eighty-three, his monastic years sixty-four. His disciples buried him on the twelfth day of the fifth month of that year on the south side of West Mountain of Yong'an Temple, to the left of Agate Slope.

The eulogy says: Master Cou practiced the Way and venerated Buddha throughout the twelve periods - his precision and diligence could not be exceeded. Master Cui's talent and aspiration were unmatched in the group, with great merit for the ancestral teaching. Master Ye sought the dharma without shaming his teacher. Master Ling's learning and practice were both lofty - the reason he won imperial favor was not coincidental. That Master Lin dwelt alone at Tianmu for twenty years was truly difficult.

**Biography of Vinaya Master Zhiru of Shengshan Temple**
The Vinaya Master's name was Zhiru. His worldly surname was Ji. He was from Zhengping in Jiang commandery. His appearance was perfectly beautiful with the marks of a great person. From childhood he did not go near wine or meat and did not engage in children's games. At twelve he paid respects to Monk Jiao as his preceptor and had his hair cut. When he reached twenty-two, he received precepts from Monk Wu. He studied the Four-Part Vinaya under Vinaya Master Tanjun and received the Laṅkāvatāra and Vimalakīrti from Great Master Faning, completely obtaining their profound meaning. From that time afterward, he was repeatedly appointed as Great Virtue Presiding over Ordination Platforms at five monasteries including Zhaocheng and Jing'ai. Through this his reputation became weighty. In a certain year he accepted the assembly's invitation and emerged at Shengshan Temple. Without moving from one seat, he passed through ten winters and summers. Daily he lectured on vinaya, never once neglecting or slacking. Monastics and laypeople from all directions looked to his influence and were swayed. Bai Juyi revered the Master's reputation in the Way, annually receiving the eight-fold precepts nine times. He composed poetry in gratitude, with [verses about] "annually eight-fold..."
