五、北齊五臺祕魔巖尼法祕傳
5. Northern Qi Dynasty: Dharma Secrets of the Nun from the Hidden Demon Cliff at Mount Wutai
法祕,北齊人。慧心天悟,真志獨拔,居五臺山西臺,專修禪慧。木食澗飲,行苦自持,積五十年未嘗下山,年餘八十始寂。後人重其道,名其住處曰祕魔巖,謂高尼法祕煉魔地也。唐有祕魔和尚,得馬祖之道,擎叉接人,亦以住此而名。
Fami was a monk from the Northern Qi dynasty. His mind was naturally brilliant, and his resolve was truly exceptional. He lived on the Western Terrace of Mount Wutai, devoting himself to meditation and wisdom. He sustained himself on wild plants and mountain streams, enduring hardship through strict discipline. For fifty years, he never descended the mountain. He passed away peacefully at over eighty years of age. Later generations revered his practice and named his dwelling place "Mimoyan" (Secret Demon Cliff), referring to it as the place where the eminent nun Fami subdued inner demons. During the Tang dynasty, a monk known as Mimoyan, who had attained the teachings of Mazu, also became famous for residing here, using a trident to guide seekers.
