Biography
沈道虔，吴兴武康人。
南史卷七十五 列传第六十五：
沈道虔，吴兴武康人也。少仁爱，好《老》、《易》，居县北石山下。孙恩乱后饥荒，县令庚肃之迎出县南废头里，为立宅临溪，有山水之玩。时复还石山精庐，与诸孤兄子共釜庾之资，困不改节。受琴于戴逵，王敬弘深贵重之。郡州府凡十二命，皆不就。
有人窃其园菜者，外还见之，乃自逃隐，待窃者去后乃出。人又拔其屋后大笋，令人止之，曰："惜此笋欲令成林，更有佳者相与。"乃令人买大笋送与之，盗者惭不取，道虔使置其门内而还。常以捃拾自资，同捃者或争穟，道虔谏之不止，悉以其所得与之。争者愧恧，后每事辄云"勿令居士知"。冬月无复衣，戴颙闻而迎之，为作衣服，并与钱一万。及还，分身上衣及钱悉供诸兄弟子无衣者。乡里少年相率受学，道虔常无食以立学徒。武康令孔欣之厚相资给，受业者咸得有成。宋文帝闻之，遣使存问，赐钱三万，米二百斛，悉供孤兄子嫁娶。征员外散骑侍郎，不就。累世事佛，推父祖旧宅为寺。至四月八日每请像，请像之日，辄举家感恸焉。道虔年老菜食，恒无经日之资，而琴书为乐，孜孜不倦。文帝敕郡县使随时资给。卒。子慧锋，修父业，不就州辟。
