J36nB362_p0771a02 J36nB362_p0771a03法語
J36nB362_p0771a04示瞿次知藏
J36nB362_p0771a05從上聖賢與常人異者，不過立身操行不苟，故能照J36nB362_p0771a06耀今昔。所以身為道本，言乃樞機，其令人信從，如影J36nB362_p0771a07隨身。故曹谿始從黃梅負舂，後來傳衣缽、繼祖位，甚J36nB362_p0771a08至感王臣師禮，於今千有餘年，宇內尊崇如泰山。當J36nB362_p0771a09其負石舂碓時，不過一力作賤役，又誰識所行所為J36nB362_p0771a10皆聖賢事業？今人名色盡向上第一等，而行事與輿J36nB362_p0771a11儓傖傭之不若，其能振末世、光前謨，吾未之聞也。何J36nB362_p0771a12以故？昔之學者為道求師，焚身斷臂，采薪汲水，除糞J36nB362_p0771a13肩輿，故曰身為床坐，身為奴僕。今之學者為名求師，J36nB362_p0771a14不過豐飲食、厚軟暖，色斯媮、言斯從，嬌其故習、寵其J36nB362_p0771a15作媚，以為恩深，稍不順己，便離心背德。又何曾似古J36nB362_p0771a16人鞭背流血而不恨，禠剝衣裙而不怨，驅逐墮崖，扃J36nB362_p0771a17門折足，甚至三登九上而不憚勞，易服潛形而不為J36nB362_p0771a18恥，舍邪歸正而不為欺，求賢遠偽而不為非？斯皆哲J36nB362_p0771a19人事業，見諸行事。又豈似今時行腳訪道者，言不與J36nB362_p0771a20心親，道不與心明，德不為人感，智不使人矜，事不堪J36nB362_p0771a21人傳誦，行不致人取並，焉敢望人之信重尊從也哉？J36nB362_p0771a22瞿次喜子親依皋亭，其任力荷眾，別於他人，持紙求J36nB362_p0771a23開示語。予故舉古人可以為鑒誡，有益於身心者，令J36nB362_p0771a24其入深躋遠，直至古人地步，庶幾與師友聚首，非是J36nB362_p0771a25閒相識也。勉之！
示雪巢侍者
J36nB362_p0771a27趙州云：「不貴苟得，不踐高名。」今時剎竿如林，參學者J36nB362_p0771a28憧憧，師不審資、資不擇師，彼此相欺，惟貴苟得。觀其J36nB362_p0771a29用心立身處，真庸流之不若，焉能跂及古人項背？況J36nB362_p0771a30有高名不踐，能光明碩大者哉？今人之天資志氣未J36nB362_p0771b01嘗不有過古人者，第發心行腳、親師擇友、立身存心，J36nB362_p0771b02事事與古人悖。何以故？古人用心要自肯，今人求他J36nB362_p0771b03肯；古人立身期遠大，今人甘卑尟；古人擇友取直諒，J36nB362_p0771b04今人愛阿諛；古人敬嚴難，今人事簡易；古人行腳為J36nB362_p0771b05見道，今人好奔馳；古人發心畏生死，今人念名聞；古J36nB362_p0771b06人重法為人，今人輕法利己。此皆近世聞見之昭著J36nB362_p0771b07者，安敢望法門之再振、吾道之興隆也？雪巢侍者稟J36nB362_p0771b08質木訥，樸實少華，乞假歸閩省親，持紙求開示。予喜J36nB362_p0771b09其誠篤，故不敢彼此相欺，聊舉邇來叢林獘端若是，J36nB362_p0771b10有血氣者當痛心疾首取法古人，則古人不前、今人J36nB362_p0771b11不後也。

J36nB362_p0773c10禮悟空禪師真歇了祖靜照塔。「空劫已前誰是主？舟J36nB362_p0773c11霞掌下錯承當，面門劈破無尋處，嬴得閒名滿大唐。J36nB362_p0773c12閒名既滿，大唐為甚麼無尋處聻？」以拂子拂一拂，曰：J36nB362_p0773c13「到家不怕語聲高，一盞清茶一炷香。」
J36nB362_p0773c14壽昌重開山經老祖塔。「盡道同時不識祖，分明指示J36nB362_p0773c15也無端，致令石峽逆流水，倒入西江太瀰漫。教眼宗J36nB362_p0773c16眼兩何長？振衣而起海天寬，好山踏破歸休後，贏得J36nB362_p0773c17峨峰天畔看。看即不無，畢竟作麼生與老祖相見？」良J36nB362_p0773c18久，曰：「兩輪互繞無終古，鳳宿龍巢影不彰。」
J36nB362_p0773c19見如謐老和尚塔。「正明不露誰能辯，指據紛紛事始J36nB362_p0773c20彰。天下盡稱為伏鳳，四目八臂休相望。休相望，且道J36nB362_p0773c21今日作麼生通信？四山草木深秋後，盡是吾師汗血J36nB362_p0773c22黃。」
J36nB362_p0773c23竺菴成和尚衣缽塔。「分付紅爐徹底煎，要見真金色J36nB362_p0773c24愈鮮，致使劫火瓦礫地，傑閣危樓勢插天。自是神功J36nB362_p0773c25勞百戰，大▆不宰遵古勸，湘南潭北不隔線，幾對晴J36nB362_p0773c26嵐目光眩。黃龍峰下路同踐，秋風颯颯阿兄面，此心J36nB362_p0773c27未許傍人薦，伽黎古色終無變。」
J36nB362_p0773c28雙峰存和尚塔。「叢林此日鬥舟黃，阿兄劈板振古綱，J36nB362_p0773c29為報四方雲水客，離言句子好商量。休商量，揭開向J36nB362_p0773c30上千峰眼，始見高深一道長。」
J36nB362_p0774a01其天浩和尚塔。「從來同步不同途，鷺入蘆花類自殊，J36nB362_p0774a02墓隧松枝堪挂劍，相逢誰識此心孤？心不孤，不住青J36nB362_p0774a03霄看變化，肯留潭影蟠明珠？」
J36nB362_p0774a04海會塔設供。「大功不宰理原常，只此歸趨勝覺場，好J36nB362_p0774a05看峰前流水意，滔滔不盡願猶長。」
J36nB362_p0774a06廩山忠祖塔。「熊耳峰高月影寒，一輪足可自盤恒，歸J36nB362_p0774a07來枕遍青山色，折腳鐺兒不肯瞞。恭惟洞山下第三J36nB362_p0774a08十世祖廩山蘊空忠老和尚之塔，青萍獨倚，看天外J36nB362_p0774a09之飛鴻；明珠深抱，待寧馨以親授。舌本藏雷，儘天下J36nB362_p0774a10人鬥紫亂朱；身同潛角，聽塵外客說青道黃。少室得J36nB362_p0774a11髓，荷綱宗而傲世；峨峰續燄，付心印以標宗。以故，巍J36nB362_p0774a12然廩嶠，四海咸稱尊貴；浚哉石硤，一脈賴此流長。不J36nB362_p0774a13肖五世孫某，遠承慈蔭，慚繼芳蹤，懷瓣香以躬獻，表J36nB362_p0774a14愚志而自焚。雖然如是，正恁麼時，如何奉重？黃閣簾J36nB362_p0774a15垂恩光普，青苔日照視聽親。」
J36nB362_p0774a16掃父時顯府君墓。「生緣誰敢昧斯身，謾道而今始識J36nB362_p0774a17親，踏遍山河皆是血，白頭人禮黑頭人。」
J36nB362_p0774a18掃母何氏孺人墓。「借借之機豈易常，森羅倒影落寒J36nB362_p0774a19塘，二十四年看不厭，青山依舊白雲藏。」
J36nB362_p0774a20廩山忠祖忌辰燒香。「青萍磨得問如何，千聖要從腳J36nB362_p0774a21下過，謾道今朝無伴侶，眠雲枕石不勝多。」
J36nB362_p0774a22桃花山影堂上供。「眾山齊出爭雄長，頭角崢嶸踞一J36nB362_p0774a23方，隱德至今稱伏鳳，根株原不借春光。恭惟桃峰開J36nB362_p0774a24山寂菴老和尚，大好山中鏟草，骨性天成，如騏驥不J36nB362_p0774a25受控勒；桃花嶺上藏身，慧辯生知，似鸞鳳必合衝霄。J36nB362_p0774a26住山六十年，高懷可並無業；操行九十歲，眠雲能繼J36nB362_p0774a27思大。所以欲隱彌露，馨香晚彰。茲者百歲彌壽，敬淪J36nB362_p0774a28杯茗瓣香，少展微忱。且作麼生與老和尚相見？」遂燒J36nB362_p0774a29香曰：「千峰萬峰齊拜倒，滿空花雨晝濛濛。」
J36nB362_p0774a30福山和尚封龕。「坐斷簫峰寢萬機，含生無路辨離微，J36nB362_p0774b01如何令人疑生死？利物真慈識者稀。恭惟福山堂上J36nB362_p0774b02石潮法兄和尚之靈，托跡淮南，並青華嚴之骨氣；道J36nB362_p0774b03行江西，方洪覺範之風標。渠無生死，未出母胎覆卻J36nB362_p0774b04船；示有涅槃，纔入塵勞翻著襪。兩主名藍，瞎卻石頭J36nB362_p0774b05一城人眼；一表化儀，揭開琢煉千古師心。卮言出轉，J36nB362_p0774b06腐爛盡為神奇；風句飛攝，強項皆成法幹。正擬慧日J36nB362_p0774b07長明，何期真燈遽滅？萬象悲號，眉斷青山；森羅哀泣，J36nB362_p0774b08淚翻碧水。智弓方釋，波旬重豎赤幡；悲駕暫停，人天J36nB362_p0774b09更驚白墮。茲者紫羅帳合，視聽難通，夜明簾卷，轉功J36nB362_p0774b10得旨。雖然輟櫂停輪，畢竟為什麼邊事？」良久，曰：「雞足J36nB362_p0774b11山前無異路，熊耳峰上有真規。」
J36nB362_p0774b12舉龕。「獨坐無尊卑，從來類不齊。隨他顛倒欲，新婦倒J36nB362_p0774b13騎驢。古帆高挂凌風上，好看小魚吞大魚。」
J36nB362_p0774b14闍維。「金不博金，火能入火，莖茆莫向此中尋，疑殺當J36nB362_p0774b15年破灶墮。」擲火炬，曰：「三世諸佛，箇箇將錯就錯。」
J36nB362_p0774b16懸真。「位次不用安排，天然坐得恰好。閒對青山送落J36nB362_p0774b17暉，笑看一老一不老。」
J36nB362_p0774b18郢柏旭維那火。「興化擯克賓出院，皋亭將郢柏火葬。J36nB362_p0774b19事既兩般，理元一貫。若道恩怨不分明，留與叢林作J36nB362_p0774b20公案。」
J36nB362_p0774b21道因耆宿火。「般若體，般若用，寒山拈帚，拾得念誦。木J36nB362_p0774b22葉落時秋潦退，黃花開處香風送，此回端的不是夢。」
J36nB362_p0774b23佛生禪人火。「佛本無生，今云何滅？生滅去來，似月圓J36nB362_p0774b24缺。今年冬早雨無多，且看紅爐飛片雪。」
J36nB362_p0774b25心月耆宿火。「如來惟說一心，天上只有一月，譬喻言J36nB362_p0774b26說無窮，光明照燭無缺。如今月落言路斷，畢竟作麼J36nB362_p0774b27分別？」擲火炬，云：「萬里神光一條鐵。」
J36nB362_p0774b28綸副寺火。「焰裏絲條誰見縷。靉靆雲中別有天，神光J36nB362_p0774b29萬里無遮障。謝家人不在漁舡，綸子者回公案始稱J36nB362_p0774b30圓。」
J36nB362_p0774c01知予老宿封龕。「四山相逼時如何？月朗霜空散彩多，J36nB362_p0774c02石瘦水枯光不亂，惟留清影在煙蘿。知予達公，童真J36nB362_p0774c03入道，七十年打成一片；盛世為僧，彈指項頓超三際。J36nB362_p0774c04慈悲濟物，忍草遍發山前；苦行居躬，紺宇撐空霄漢。J36nB362_p0774c05所以若緇若素，咸遵德化；或遐或邇，盡慕芳聲。茲者J36nB362_p0774c06化緣既畢，能事云週，要顯圓光萬里，以故藏身一室，J36nB362_p0774c07必使錦縫重披，還須密移那畔。」貼封條云：「鳳舞丹霄J36nB362_p0774c08機不立，金剛腦後示重輪。」
J36nB362_p0774c09舉火。「三世諸佛在火焰裏說法，知公老宿與三世諸J36nB362_p0774c10佛譚禪，祗要見諸行事，不許寄以空言，免教守株待J36nB362_p0774c11兔，貴在得魚忘筌。」擲火炬，云：「不是五位與三玄。」
J36nB362_p0774c12王居士火。「曾擁雕弓唱凱歌，天山定後絕淆訛，而今J36nB362_p0774c13纛掩西江月，特繞蓮花奉佛陀。」擲火炬云：「也不較多。」
J36nB362_p0774c14月坡老師封龕。「昔未曾生，今云何滅？七十餘年獨嘯J36nB362_p0774c15好月，如今月落長空，誰敢到此亂說？」
J36nB362_p0774c16為天界巨音和尚設供。「古佛堂中曾入作，剎竿推倒J36nB362_p0774c17善世門，兄呼弟應如相諉，斯道寥寥不可論。恭惟天J36nB362_p0774c18界堂上巨音選公和尚，靈根夙植，妙齡得契心宗；智J36nB362_p0774c19性天生，旦氣早膺法印。弘大法，歷盡艱難；擴正眼，幾J36nB362_p0774c20蹈危阱。百折不回，魔外化為神足；兩間能任，宇內仰J36nB362_p0774c21作心城。盡擬道同佛日，何期壽並白雲？嗟保社之凋J36nB362_p0774c22殘，實吾門之不幸。茲者聞訃之初，特效蘋蘩之薦，表J36nB362_p0774c23法乳之同源，冀慧燈之普照。雖然，天界和尚鑒臨畢J36nB362_p0774c24竟以何為驗？」拈香，曰：「圓通門啟無終古，大地群昏只J36nB362_p0774c25者機。」
J36nB362_p0774c26資福天目禪師入塔。「獨坐無尊卑，諸峰類莫齊，白雲J36nB362_p0774c27籠不住，露出碧崔嵬，看他描邈者，返擲共雙眉。」

J36nB362_p0774c30禪師名道達，字知子，郡之徐氏子。七歲投壽昌沙門J36nB362_p0775a01元賓為驅烏，有大人器度，賓每過督而不見其退心。J36nB362_p0775a02至二十受具成大僧，見如謐公鍾愛之。寶輪乃唐宋J36nB362_p0775a03古剎，久湮沒，皆瓦礫荒墟，晝夜芟荊榛、拾殘甓，三十J36nB362_p0775a04年復還舊觀。未幾，明運數厄，國鼎遂遷。一旦遭兵燹，J36nB362_p0775a05諸有燼盡，師不少衰，以謂災因時變，我以願持。不數J36nB362_p0775a06年間，百廢復舉，四方緇素咸歎為希有，遠近聞名見J36nB362_p0775a07相，未有不遵德化而被真風。然而景暮齒尊，禪誦之J36nB362_p0775a08餘，雨笠煙簑，無輒寒暑，猶自慊然終身，以行門不如J36nB362_p0775a09古人。至於諸方尊宿及壽昌祖庭知識，請法質疑，問J36nB362_p0775a10辨奧義，迨無虛往。以時歉歲荒及接壤鄰封持鬥忿J36nB362_p0775a11爭，恒輒食週濟，以身排難。然皆至誠導人，俱望風音J36nB362_p0775a12而消狼毒，飲醇味以發善心，所以紺宇撐空，叢林香J36nB362_p0775a13繞。忽示微恙，遣徒以藍輿迎予，囑以後事及叢林大J36nB362_p0775a14節，遂而趨寂，乃乙卯仲冬三日也。師生於萬曆丁未，J36nB362_p0775a15世壽六十九，為僧六十二年，度徒子若干人，俗弟子J36nB362_p0775a16不可計，茶毘送喪者遍原谷，哀慕如考妣，非有過人J36nB362_p0775a17之智，感人之深，何能若是慟也？於戲！世界滄桑，俄而J36nB362_p0775a18遷變，況有限之身，能住世幾何？第六十年為僧，始而J36nB362_p0775a19事師學道，中而為法求人，濟物利生，尊賢愛眾，末後J36nB362_p0775a20歸休，猶以護惜叢林，住持佛法為憂。其生平操行立J36nB362_p0775a21身，垢衣惡食，勤勞穫耕，謙德自居，皆可稱述。今者繼J36nB362_p0775a22祖位而貪殘不去，至老死而利釀愈深，真烏鼠之徒，J36nB362_p0775a23聞師行而不愧，是佛門之闡提也。予主祖庭五載，師J36nB362_p0775a24為法為叢林，雖祁寒溽暑必奔至，每相見以憂世愍J36nB362_p0775a25人為念，是知師在家為賢良君子，出世為真佛種草。J36nB362_p0775a26其弟子某等，以師老，先製壽藏於寺之右掖，而未有J36nB362_p0775a27銘，以予為知師之深者，丐一言而識不朽於塔上，以J36nB362_p0775a28永孝思於後世也。為之銘曰：

J36nB362_p0775b08夫道之寓於物也，無貴賤男女，無小大異同，惟心融J36nB362_p0775b09神契者之為聖為賢，心蔽神昧者之為凡為外，然於J36nB362_p0775b10道亦無貶損焉。猶日月之在天，雖江河行潦，陂池溝J36nB362_p0775b11洫，清濁溷溉之殊，影落其中，則光耀亦不為之少虧，J36nB362_p0775b12況稟乎陰陽之適，靈知之源，妙契自心之大，至道之J36nB362_p0775b13常也哉！吾於永光尼，亦得而論矣。當其良人之喪，姑J36nB362_p0775b14欲奪其志，惟縞衣綦巾，誓彼柏舟，引刀斷髮，把鏡剺J36nB362_p0775b15面，即古之貞烈，不過是也。既許身而祀佛，能求道以J36nB362_p0775b16達志，嚙冰茹荼，焚頂矢誓，苦參勵行，雖無著總持，又J36nB362_p0775b17何加焉！以故事久論定，一生一死，亦可以無憾矣。尼J36nB362_p0775b18名興宏，字永光，郡之周氏子。幼聰慧，誦《孝經》，能怡懌J36nB362_p0775b19父母之憂。及字裘姓之子，不失中饋之常操，井曰奉J36nB362_p0775b20姑嫜，與鄰婦別，故有異稱。忽夫喪，姑欲改適，誓死靡J36nB362_p0775b21他。貧居孑立，無以營生，故許身祀佛，投郡之籓菴，禮J36nB362_p0775b22尼大振為師。隨師初參天界杖人，示以主人公話，晝J36nB362_p0775b23夜不少懈。布幃木榻，青燈碧篆，窮典墳，究心地，立行J36nB362_p0775b24端有年矣。繼見青原然和尚，示之以本分鉗錘，不肯J36nB362_p0775b25少假其言句，而志益猛利，心愈堅忍，披精進鎧，捧無J36nB362_p0775b26滲器。後興國忍和尚主壽昌，來參請，忍和尚痛為煆J36nB362_p0775b27煉，必以自證自悟為至。三年之間，參請至再，而壽昌J36nB362_p0775b28以巀嶪門庭，真若萬仞壁立，即諸方有擎頭角而至J36nB362_p0775b29者，咸遭點額。況孱弱之質，濁漏之品，縱能變大僧而J36nB362_p0775b30越分前請，其如大火聚中，焉肯容毫末乎？然而矢志J36nB362_p0775c01堅銳，愈擲而愈壯，愈挫而愈利，不為之少減其鋒，眾J36nB362_p0775c02咸為之怯，渠必以深入重關，則以到家為無事矣。歲J36nB362_p0775c03辛亥，偶有觸覺，前之參請話頭，與所呈之伎倆打失，J36nB362_p0775c04始信忍之不我欺也，遂欲請證其是。以夏期安居，不J36nB362_p0775c05敢越制而往，忽沾疾不起，遂而順逝。世壽五十九，僧J36nB362_p0775c06臘三十七，度徒法廣等數十人。嗚呼！眾生貪欲如火，J36nB362_p0775c07諸佛聖人藉以明道見性，猶用之破暗熟食，故世不J36nB362_p0775c08可無也。稍縱恣其燄，若秦之用以焚典坑儒，戕賊慧J36nB362_p0775c09命，破壞真如，又何異哉？況一裙釵之賦，能自樹其身，J36nB362_p0775c10使大家命婦、香閨英秀，而師其德、信其化，即身後之J36nB362_p0775c11名，猶不忍湮其事，而使士君子致幣遠緘，丐予之銘J36nB362_p0775c12而表之，非有大過人之操，能若是乎？今有假我衣服，J36nB362_p0775c13惑慝真常，漂墮本有，恬不知恥者，至於毀教敗法，尤J36nB362_p0775c14為得計，不亦大可哀歟！則予之銘，又烏得而已哉？銘J36nB362_p0775c15曰：
J36nB362_p0775c16壽藏銘并序
J36nB362_p0776a02康熙戊午仲夏之下浣日，住武林皋亭崇先顯孝寺，J36nB362_p0776a03次住旴之壽昌觀濤僧大奇，從諸弟子請，而自敘其J36nB362_p0776a04生平曰：「余豫之撫州雲林渭川里人也。父姓彭，字時J36nB362_p0776a05顯，母何氏。誕於天啟乙丑之春，生而秀異，父母愛之。J36nB362_p0776a06及髫齔，有大人氣象，鄰族皆稱為宗彥。年十九，世味J36nB362_p0776a07泊然，思欲出塵，而世道滄桑，母亦尋終，遂投本里項J36nB362_p0776a08山學出世法。以昵于俗親，故往來煩雜，舍之參瀘陽J36nB362_p0776a09饒山鐵索老人。索以老病卻，乃納具于邵武之龍湖J36nB362_p0776a10戒壇。及歸，命依上首月坡山主，受諸經論，并策發向J36nB362_p0776a11上事。遂掩關于旴之覺僊峰，刻苦勵行，造詣忘身。關J36nB362_p0776a12中誓不睡，唯行坐而已。未及一年，因履穿襪弊，以手J36nB362_p0776a13納之。正思唯六祖在大庾嶺接蒙山曰：『不思善，不思J36nB362_p0776a14惡，那個是明上座本來面目？』之句，忽然有省。自後出J36nB362_p0776a15世文字皆通曉無滯，遂作書作偈辭坡，欲遍參諸方。J36nB362_p0776a16坡壯其行，以故破夏往金陵見天界盛和尚。界以太J36nB362_p0776a17平事當道，不許聚眾，乃上牛首聽素華法師講法華J36nB362_p0776a18會義，因遍歷講肆。及界應棲霞之請，余再往參之，界J36nB362_p0776a19一見喜之曰：『子何來之遲？』即留挂搭。一日，界垂示，余J36nB362_p0776a20應答不少讓，并呈首山新婦、德山托缽諸頌。界微笑J36nB362_p0776a21曰：『且喜無佛法知見。』余從傍曰：『頭上高峨峨，那得無J36nB362_p0776a22佛法知見？』界與一掌曰：『者江西子，汝見個甚麼？』余作J36nB362_p0776a23拈花勢，界曰：『江西子亂做。』直喝出，即日安入侍者寮。J36nB362_p0776a24當是時，界之名動寰宇，問法者絡繹不絕，皆天下賢J36nB362_p0776a25士大夫，其應酬文翰、支給常住與夫灑掃洗沐之任J36nB362_p0776a26備為之，而參究不輟。一日，界晨起，余與眾兄弟環侍J36nB362_p0776a27左右，界曰：『一夜勞苦不可當。』余曰：『何事？想和尚寢息J36nB362_p0776a28不安乎？』界曰：『非也，夢中與衲子論有句無句公案，一J36nB362_p0776a29夜神思費盡，難得有伶俐者。』余方執襪過界，曰：『疏山J36nB362_p0776a30也好者一拶。』界劈面一掌曰：『天下人皆患此病。』余愕J36nB362_p0776b01然曰：『噁！怪得五祖道相隨來也。』界又掌曰：『者也是拾J36nB362_p0776b02疏山矮子的殘唾。』便推出。自是室中徵詰法門之玄J36nB362_p0776b03祕、諸聖之要妙，皆應對無滯，界為之稱賞不置，每嘆J36nB362_p0776b04曰：『惜吾老矣，使爾早生十年，我之生平大事則有所J36nB362_p0776b05托，幸子年齒方壯，有此知見，吾可無憾矣。』故師資相J36nB362_p0776b06得，七年如一日。既而隨往博山入閩，命監夢筆院事，J36nB362_p0776b07又以法衣囑余繼席，余辭不願離師，于是隨界從括J36nB362_p0776b08蒼、金華返浙，時順治丙申年也。次年丁酉，皋亭崇先J36nB362_p0776b09顯孝乃宋長蘆真歇了禪師，祖席久虛，而歇祖歸真J36nB362_p0776b10之塔猶存，杭城眾紳士以界為歇祖嫡孫，固請主席，J36nB362_p0776b11余為之首眾。明年戊戌秋，天都汪比部請予住山。又J36nB362_p0776b12明年己亥，界亦以老病歸江南。居年餘而界寂，予奔J36nB362_p0776b13訃金陵。庚子，浙中士大夫特書請余主法皋亭。既至，J36nB362_p0776b14而殿堂頹弊不堪，過者驚將壓焉。當震風淋雨之夕，J36nB362_p0776b15各擎雨具以俟晴明。且寺無恒產，每天寒地凍，不得J36nB362_p0776b16黃虀野菜，嘗五七日煙爨不起。鄰之賢者持三升一J36nB362_p0776b17斗而至，見殘僧十餘輩，垂頭落頸，氣息不接，嗟嘆良J36nB362_p0776b18久乃去，如是者四載。先是，汪比部元泰施材造殿，迄J36nB362_p0776b19康熙癸卯，杭之方伯袁公一相、姚戶部元煐、戴文學J36nB362_p0776b20班立及郡之善人，或磚瓦，或工資，皆不求而樂助，未J36nB362_p0776b21期年而大殿落成。乙巳，朝庭有民僧之議，諸方鳴鼓J36nB362_p0776b22辭眾。余曰：『僧為佛種，佛法所以陰翊王度，僧其可廢J36nB362_p0776b23乎？善知識與衲子同休戚，眾其可辭乎？』誡知事勿辭，J36nB362_p0776b24四方無依者皆歸焉。丙午，復建前殿，佛像、藏經、普同，J36nB362_p0776b25凡叢林所宜有者，少備其六七，而衲子麇至。余登座J36nB362_p0776b26說法，不敢沿襲近時一字，諸山耆德咸稱皋亭有古J36nB362_p0776b27人焉。余自歉曰：『欲躋古人而未能也。』辛亥，黎川護法J36nB362_p0776b28請主壽昌祖庭，不三載而江西、湖南、閩、粵皆揭竿而J36nB362_p0776b29起。寺當杉關阨道，兩師衝突，殺傷遍郊野，余率眾掩J36nB362_p0776b30葬之；疫癘滿山谷，余作藥餌施給之。自大帥以至裨J36nB362_p0776c01將，下而士卒，見予皆無怒心。嗚呼！郡邑丘墟，村里失J36nB362_p0776c02其故道，而寺之金碧巍然獨存，是皆佛祖之光被、天J36nB362_p0776c03龍之呵護、執事之勤勞，故一草一木皆獲保全，庶幾J36nB362_p0776c04可以謝罪於祖庭矣。丙辰，閩關通，余將欲歸浙，黎之J36nB362_p0776c05紳士堅留至再，遂重修大殿、葺藏閣、益庄田，凡不足J36nB362_p0776c06者補之。戊午，余必欲歸浙，而諸縉紳謂再造之功過J36nB362_p0776c07於創始，懇終老于山。無何，春夏遘疾，執事請述生平J36nB362_p0776c08以志不忘，并乞留壽藏以表化儀。余笑曰：『余本東西J36nB362_p0776c09南北之人，遺骸枯灰、殘山剩水，隨處可安。且余一言J36nB362_p0776c10一行，又何嘗有隱乎二三子耶？』而諸子乞之不已，曰：J36nB362_p0776c11『和尚居壽昌、皋亭兩剎，皆從苦心血力之勞，況生緣J36nB362_p0776c12本豫人，壽昌乃根本之地，而數載從劫火震蕩之餘，J36nB362_p0776c13竭力保全，兼之輪奐一新，增其式廓守成之烈，有光J36nB362_p0776c14太祖矣。願少留真跡，正狐死首丘之義，於理為安。且J36nB362_p0776c15和尚素性不喜緣飾，說三會之錄不乞一序，皋亭興J36nB362_p0776c16創之功不勒一碑，而出世本末又豈可乞當路貴人J36nB362_p0776c17藻麗之文而譽之，以損吾師之真耶？』余不得已，方允J36nB362_p0776c18其請，而自敘如此。卜寺傍三里許，地名郭富亭，坐乾J36nB362_p0776c19向巽為壽藏，弟子其識之。」銘曰：
J36nB362_p0776c20師說行實後，疾復作，不起。至六月望，說偈辭眾。偈云：J36nB362_p0776c27「五十四秋風月，幾為諸人漏洩。待到七月初十，記取J36nB362_p0776c28者箇時節。」迄初九，猶晏息如常。初十早，索湯沐浴，更J36nB362_p0776c29衣端坐。越申及酉，泊然而逝。世壽五十有四，僧臘三J36nB362_p0776c30十有五。留七七茶毘建塔，皆遵師遺囑云爾。
