About 府君存惠傳

899 · about 3 min

The "Biography of Magistrate Cunhui" is a lost Buddhist text, with its author and date of composition unknown, though it is speculated to have been written during the Tang or Song dynasties. This biography records the life of a local magistrate (possibly an official or a Buddhist guardian deity) who, during his lifetime, implemented benevolent governance and brought benefits to the people, emphasizing the connection between his actions and their karmic consequences within the framework of Buddhist belief. The content blends Confucian ideals of benevolent rule with Buddhist concepts of karma, reflecting the historical context of Buddhism's integration with indigenous Chinese culture. Although the original text is lost, its influence can be seen in later Buddhist historical records and local chronicles that cite it. It provides important insights into the interaction between Buddhist folk beliefs and the bureaucratic system and holds a representative place in the process of Buddhism's localization in China.


府君存惠傳
府君諱存惠。字察遠。號懷氣義。夙抱溫案文武之道。相兼寬猛之誠。共濟善乘鞍馬弓開而猿猴先啼頗曉陣圖施設而縱檎自在。故得入於儕輩。折旋以越於常倫。凡居□寮起就。獨彰於群彥。僉諧眾□舉。薦人多尋沐□君主慎求。遂乃起昇班袟不注。司局清畏人知。讓寶越於前賢。知足過於後輩。將謂轅門之內分。□□君主之□憂州府之中。設機謀之佐國。豈期地火暗背。靈性歸常空。留白王之肌膚。不聞黃金之美語。妻居孀室血淚交流。此世難遇於魚顋。別後須憑於鳥字。遂請丹筆。輒會容儀。又邀儒生以讚芳美。乃讚曰。府君天然貌。神理有多般。入眾人皆敬。出君他比難。文請孔氏學。武拜楚王壇。榮祿君恩重。功勞自有千。彈絃五音足。詩唱四聲全。綜核於州府。神謀著在邊。豈期逝水早。暗地鬼來先。堂上空有步。庭前見沒緣。官寮皆動哭。妻室又悲前。邀盡生前貌。貴徒後人看。他年蒿里下。水鎮向黃泉。鳥字須憑遠。蟲文輒要傳。
