師晉江人。俗姓胡。於德化載雲山脫臼。初參古杭和尚無大省發。嗣依永覺。發明心地。初住鼓山。復遷金陵攝山。有聲於時。康熙戊辰四月朔日示寂。壽七十有二。語錄行世
贊曰：
吹無孔笛 唱太平調
鼓山攝山 千江月照
諸聖不傅 向上一竅
全身放下 靈光獨耀
或說偈曰：
胡氏有子名道安 祖籍晉江血脈傳
出家載雲雖脫臼 入室永覺撐法船
鼓山攝山倡教化 南海北海度群賢
月印千江源流遠 日照萬類福澤長
今天我也不多說啦！我就把我最後寫的這八句，因為你們大家還有的沒有了解，所以和你們大家來講一講，這說這個：
「胡氏有子名道安」：說姓胡的這個在家 人，有一位出乎其類、拔乎其萃的兒子。他出家名字叫道安禪師。
這位禪師，他的籍貫是晉江，據說就是福建。「祖籍晉江血脈傳」：這也都是有這個法的血脈，也有這個世俗人的血脈。那麼僧不礙俗、俗不礙僧：所以說血脈傳。
「出家載雲」：他在那個德化載雲山那兒脫臼。「雖脫白」，雖然他已經脫去離塵了，已經把世俗的生活，改變做為出家人的生活了。可是那時候他還沒有怎麼樣子的真正開悟。
等到以後「入室永覺撐法船」。他做永覺禪師的入室弟子。所以大興法化，好像在法門擺一個法船一樣。
「鼓山攝山倡教化」：在鼓山和攝山都作過住持，為一方的說法主。
「南海北海度群賢」：在這個近南海的地方和北海的地方，他這個法船所及處，度這一些個佛教的法門龍象。
「月印干江源流遠」：他這種法化所及，是猶如月印千江一樣。千江有水千江月；萬里無雲萬里天一一無所不化。
「日照萬類福澤長」：他就像那太陽光似的，能照臨萬物，令一切的萬物，都得到光、明遍照這種的福澤，這種的恩德，所以是很長遠的。乃至於到今天我們回憶起來，還是大家都很嚮往這位禪師。

Text:
The Master was a native of Jinjiang. His surname was Hu. He
left the home-life at Mount Zaiyun in Dehua. First he
studied under the Venerable Wuda Xinfa of the ancient state
of Hangzhou. He inherited the Dharma from Dhyana Master Y
ongjue, and understood his own mind. Initially he served as
Abbot at Gushan (Drum Mountain). Later he moved to She
Mountain in Jinling. He was renowned in his time. He
manifested the stillness on the first day of the fourth
month in the year of wuchen (1688) in the Kangxi reign
period, at the age of seventy-two. A compilation of his
talks was published.
A verse in praise says:
Blowing on aflute with no holes, he sang the
melody of peace.
At Drum Mountain and She Mountain, the moon shines in a
thousand rivers.
All the sages do not transmit the secret for advancing a
level higher.
Letting go entirely, his spiritual light shines in solitary
splendor.
Another verse says:
The family ofHu had a son named Dao’an (Peace in
the Way).
With his ancestry in Jinjiang, he carried on the lineage.
Although he had cast off the mundane after leaving home at
Zaiyun,
It wasn't until he "entered the room" of Master Yongjue that
he upheld the Dharma ship.
At both Gu and She Mountains, he propagated the teachings.
In the South Sea and the North Sea, he took across the
worthy ones.
Like the moon reflected in a thousand rivers, the source
flows far.
Like the sun illuminating all creatures, his grace long
endures.
Commentary:
Today I won't say too much. I'll just explain these last
eight lines of verse, because all of you haven't understood
it yet. It goes:
The family ofHu had a son named
Dao'an (Peace in the Way). A layman by the surname
of Hu had an extraordinary son, who was named Dhyana Master
Dao'an after he left the home-life.
With his ancestry in Jinjiang, he
carried on the lineage. Jinjiang is said to be
Fujian Province. The lineage refers to the Dharma-lineage as
well as to his worldly lineage. His membership in the Sangha
did not hinder his worldly role, and his worldly role did
not impede his role as a monk.
Although he had cast off the
mundane after leaving home at Zaiyun Mountain in Dehua,
although he had renounced his worldly life and assumed the
life of a monk, at that point he had yet to become genuinely
enlightened.
It wasn't until he "entered the
room" of Master Yongjue that he upheld the Dharma ship.
He became a room-entering disciple of Dhyana Master
Yongjue, and then he propagated the Dharma and taught beings
on a large scale. He was like a Dharma ship within Buddhism.
At both Drum and She Mountains,
he propagated the teachings. He was the Abbot and
the Dharma-speaking host at Drum Mountain and She Mountain.
In the South Sea and the North Sea, he took across the
worthy ones. Wherever his Dharma ship sailed, in the areas
of the South and North seas, he ferried across the "dragons
and elephants"-the outstanding individuals-of Buddhism.
Like the moon reflected in a
thousand rivers, the source flows far. His work of
propagating the Dharma was like the moon being reflected in
a thousand rivers. In a thousand rivers, there are a
thousand moons. In ten thousand miles without clouds, there
are ten thousand miles of sky. There was no one he failed to
transform.
Like the sun illuminating all
creatures, his grace long endures. His blessings
and grace are like the sunlight shining on the myriad
creatures. They are long enduring. Even today when we think
of him, we still look up to this Dhyana Master.
