鸡足山拜迦叶

直上至迦叶殿。传阿难尊者来朝。石门自开。至圣境悬岩石壁生成。一道石门。名华首门。尊者迦叶在内入定。宛若城门关闭。公礼拜时忽闻大钟三鸣。土人欢呼礼拜。称有异人至矣。　

宣化偈曰：
七月三十拜迦叶。众闻钟声三次鸣。
称有异人方如是。咸皆罗拜礼高僧。

Bowing to Mahakasyapa in Chi Tsu Mountain

The Master then went directly to the Hall of Kasyapa. It is said that when the Venerable Ananda came here to pay his respects, the huge stone door opened by its self. The master went to the shrine, which was a large cave on a precipice. The entrance was blocked by a stone door called Hua Shou (Foremost Flower) Gate, which looked like the large gate of a closed city wall. Within, the Venerable Mahakasyapa is deep in samadhi. The master bowed, and suddenly, three tollings of a huge bell were heard. The natives were surprised and delighted, and everyone bowed to him. It was said that a sage had arrived.

The verse says:
On the thirtieth day of the seventh lunar month, he bowed to Kasyapa.
Everyone heard the tolling of the bell, which thrice rang out that day.
It was said that a noteworthy man had come, and this was indeed true.
Everyone bowed and knelt before this eminent Virtuous Sanghan.
