Buddha's Authentic Transmission: A Concise Record Through the Ages (佛祖正傳古今捷錄)


四祖道信大師
姓司馬。居河內。父徙蘄州。師幼慕空宗。諸解脫門。宛如宿習。請於三祖曰。願和尚慈悲。乞與解脫法門。祖曰。誰縛汝。曰無人縛。祖曰。何更求脫乎。信於言下大悟。服勞九載。攝心無𥧌。既嗣祖風。脇不至席者六十秊。隋大業十三載。領徒抵吉州。值羣盜圍城。七旬不解。萬眾惶怖。祖憫之教誦摩訶般若。賊眾望雉堞間。若有神兵。乃相謂曰。城中必有異人。遂即引去。一日往黃梅值童子。付以衣法。時唐高祖武德中。往破頭山。訪懶融而隱。學徒奔湊。唐太宗響祖道德。三詔不赴。帝怒。敕取首來。使至。師引頸就刃。神色不變。使還奏。太宗彌加嘆慕。示寂於唐高宗永徽二秊辛亥閏九月四日。壽七十二。塔於東山。頌。
費盡殷勤算海沙 無繩自縛眼迷麻
偶然針介相投處 撥轉機綸便到家

三祖僧燦大師
五祖黃梅弘忍大師
