入定半月已两年

辛丑六十二岁法忍老人率众至。后与土人。涉讼败。回南。盖风水故也。岁尽。一日煮芋待熟。趺坐定去。壬寅六三。邻棚复成师等。讶公不至。往贺年。见虎迹遍满。入见公定。以磬开静。问已食否。

宣化偈曰：

芋在釜中度已熟。启视霉长盈寸诸。
众讶入定竟半月。烹雪煮芋饱笑乎。

Entering samadhi for two weeks in two years

In the Master's sixty-second year, the Venerable Master Fa Jen (Dharma Patience) arrived with his following. He was soon involved in a civil suit, which he lost before returning south. All of this had something to do with the geomantic conditions of the area. The year was nearing its end. One day, while waiting for his taro to cook, Master Yun sat in the lotus posture and entered samadhi. The next year, Dharma Master Fu Ch'eng and others in neighboring huts were surprised to see that the Master had not come out to exchange New Year's greetings. They saw tiger tracks around his hut, and when they entered saw that the Master was in samadhi. Striking a small bell, they aroused him and politely asked if he had eaten yet.

The gatha says:
The cooking taro in the pot was already more than done.
When the pot was opened, the taro inside had grown an inch of mould!
He had been in samadhi for half a month. The others were taken aback.
Drinking snow and cooking taro, he was perfectly content.
