14. 不怕砍头的人

the man who didn't mind being executed

永明大师的真名是延寿，他圆寂后，朝廷追授他为智觉公。因为他住在杭州的永明寺里，人们还是习惯称他永明大师。　　

　　the real name of the master yongming was yanshou, and after he passed away, the emperor bestowed the name zhijue on him, but everyone calls him master yongming because he lived in the yongming temple of hangzhou.

永明大师出家前，俗姓王。二十几岁的时候，他在杭州附近的余杭县当官，管理财政。他很同情那些被抓来吃掉的鱼虾，所以有时他就从财库中拿出钱来买鱼虾，然后把它们带到岸边放生。　　

　　before he left the householder's life and became a monk, he was called wang. when he was in his twenties, he was an official in the treasury of yuhang county near hangchou. he felt sorry for fish and shrimp that had been caught to be eaten, so sometimes he took money out of the treasury to buy them. then he took them to the shore and released them.
