### 劉宣文

> I'm sorry, but I need the actual text you'd like translated. "劉宣文" appears to be a Chinese name (Liu Xuanwen). Please provide the Buddhist scripture content you'd like me to translate into accessible modern English.

名慧斐。彭城人也。少博學。能文起家。梁安成王法曹行參軍。甞還都。途經匡山。遇處士張文逸。相得甚歡。有終焉之志。遂居於東林。又於山北搆園。號離垢園。時人稱為離垢先生。研精釋典。兼工篆𨽻。在山手寫佛經二千餘卷。常所誦者百餘卷。晝夜行道孜孜不怠。遠近欽慕之。簡文臨江州。遺以几杖。論者云。自遠師沒後將三百年。始有張劉之盛矣。大同三年卒。文逸。名孝秀。南陽宛人。仕州中從事史。徙尋陽。性通率耐冷。好佛氏書。謹持戒律。居東林。力田以供山眾。僧有敗行。輙集眾佛前為羯磨而笞之。多有悔過者。普通三年卒。室中聞有非常香氣。同時阮士宗。名孝緒。陳留人。亦以清隱著名。末年蔬食斷酒。虔精事佛。其恒供養石像。先有損壞。心欲補之。罄心敬禮。一夜忽然完復南史。

> Hui Fei was a man from Pengcheng. In his youth he was broadly learned and skilled in composition, beginning his career as a legal officer under Prince Ancheng of the Liang dynasty. Once, while returning to the capital, he passed through Kuangshan, where he met the hermit Zhang Wenyi. They found great delight in each other's company, and Hui Fei resolved to settle there for good. He then took up residence at Donglin, and also built a garden north of the mountain, naming it the "Garden of Leaving Defilement." People of the time called him "Master of Leaving Defilement." He delved deeply into Buddhist scriptures and was also accomplished in seal and clerical calligraphy. In the mountains, he personally transcribed over two thousand scrolls of Buddhist texts, and more than a hundred scrolls he recited regularly. Day and night he practiced the Way, untiring and diligent. People far and near held him in admiration. When Emperor Jianwen arrived in Jiangzhou, he presented Hui Fei with a staff and armrest. Commentators noted that nearly three hundred years had passed since Master Yuan's death before the flourishing of Zhang and Liu arose. He passed away in the third year of Datong. Wenyi, whose given name was Xiaoxiu, was a man from Wan in Nanyang. He served as a recorder in the provincial government, later moving to Xunyang. By nature he was straightforward and tolerant, and could endure cold. He was fond of Buddhist books and carefully upheld the precepts. Residing at Donglin, he worked the fields to provide for the mountain community. If any monk behaved improperly, he would gather the assembly before the Buddha and administer the formal rite of confession and admonishment, which led many to repent. He passed away in the third year of Putong. At his death, an extraordinary fragrance filled the room. Around the same time, Ruan Shizong, whose given name was Xiaoxu, was a man from Chenliu, also known for his pure and reclusive life. In his later years, he abstained from meat and wine, devoting himself sincerely to the service of the Buddha. He constantly made offerings to a stone image. When the image had previously been damaged, he wished to repair it, and with wholehearted reverence he paid homage. One night, the image was suddenly restored to completion. <note>History of the Southern Dynasties</note>
