A Record of the Deeds of Śubhakarasiṃha, the Tripitaka Master of the Xuanzong Dynasty, Granted the Title of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies

Composed by disciple Li Hua

The Tripitaka Śramaṇa Śubhakarasiṃha, in complete Sanskrit, should be pronounced Śubhakarasiṃha. The accurate translation in Chinese is 『Pure Lion』. Interpreted by meaning, his name is Shanwuwei (善無畏, meaning 'Good Fearlessness'). He was a native of Magadha in Central India, residing in Nālandā Monastery in Rājagṛha. Originally of the Kshatriya caste, a noble lineage, he renounced worldly glory and became a monk, relying on the Buddha. His spirit was pure and serene, his spiritual achievements vast and evident. He was proficient in dhyāna and prajñā, and thoroughly understood the teachings of the Dharani Tripitaka. With a single-minded devotion, he traveled to the various countries of the Five Indies, spreading his fragrant name far and wide, with great compassion benefiting sentient beings, and having the karmic connection to gradually move eastward. Reaching the northern Indian border, his reputation resonated in Mahācīna. Our Emperor, bestowing upon him the honor of the Jixian Academy, dispatched envoys to welcome him. In the fourth year of the Kaiyuan era, a Jichen year, he arrived in Chang'an with a large collection of Sanskrit texts. Initially, he was placed in the South Pagoda Courtyard of Xingfu Monastery. Five years later, in the Ding Si year, at Bodhi Monastery, he translated one volume of the 'Vajragarbha Bodhisattva Sutra That Fulfills All Wishes, the Supreme Dhāraṇī for Seeking and Retaining Knowledge'. The Śramaṇa Xida translated the language, and the Śramaṇa Wuzhu compiled the text and took notes. Among the Sanskrit texts brought by the Upadhyaya, there was an imperial decree ordering them to be brought into the palace. Due to this, he was unable to widely translate various sutras. Previously, the Upadhyaya Wuxing traveled to India, completed his studies, and was returning to the northern regions when he unfortunately passed away. The Sanskrit texts he was carrying were brought back by imperial decree. They were stored at Huayan Monastery in the western capital under the care of Upadhyaya Wuwei (Śubhakarasiṃha). Together with the Śramaṇa Yi Xing, they selected several Sanskrit texts, all of which were teachings on Dharani. The Śramaṇa Yi Xing had never translated these before. In the twelfth year, he followed the imperial carriage to Luoyang and was placed in Dafuxian Monastery. The Śramaṇa Yi Xing requested the Tripitaka Master to translate the 'Mahāvairocana Sutra on Becoming a Buddha through Supernatural Transformation and Empowerment', in seven volumes. The sutra in complete Sanskrit contains one hundred thousand verses, and what is now being translated is only a summary of the essentials. The Śramaṇa

恒府長慶寺沙門戒完成的書寫

當寺沙門恒秀篆刻題額

善無畏和尚是輸王梵的嫡系後裔，法號善無畏（Śubhakarasiṃha）。他是釋迦如來（Śākyamuni）的叔父甘露飯王的後代。他的祖先從中天竺（Central India）分封到焉荼（Andhra）。他的父親是佛手王（Buddhahasta）。因為和尚出生時就具有聖人的姿態，並且很早就兼備了德行和才能，所以歷經各種考驗。十歲時統領戒律，十三歲繼承王位。他的哥哥們發動叛亂，不得已而征討他們。在交戰中身體受傷，抵擋車輪時頭頂受傷。軍隊因為順應天意而獲勝，哥哥們因為愛護親情而保全。於是他稟告母后，告訴群臣說：『之前的新徵，是出於道義而斷絕恩情。現在我已經把國家讓給他們，讓他們實現自己的志向。』因此把王位讓給哥哥，堅決請求出家修行。太后哀憐地答應了他，賜給他傳國寶珠。他向南到達海邊，得到殊勝的寺院，進入《法華三昧》。他堆積沙子建造佛塔，發誓要建造一萬座。即使被黑蛇咬傷手指也不退縮。他將身體寄託在商船上，前往。

【English Translation】 English version: Translated by Baoyue, with a team responsible for recording and polishing, and the Prime Minister responsible for reducing and refining the wording, so that the literary talent and content complement each other, skillfully blending profound interest. Also translated the 'Sūryagarbha Kumāra Sūtra' (Sūprahūta Kumāra Sūtra) in three volumes and the 'Susiddhikara Sūtra' in three volumes. The Tripiṭaka (Tipiṭaka) was simple and unadorned, contemplating quietly, and focusing his spirit. He often opened up meditation and observation, rewarding and encouraging beginners. Reciting with compassion, receiving and guiding sentient beings without omission. If people had doubts, he could answer them thoroughly without hindrance. For prayers to stop floods and droughts, he could also greatly protect the Sangha. Details are recorded in other biographies. Later, he submitted a request to return to his country, and the emperor issued an edict to stop him. On the seventh day of the eleventh month of the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, he lay on his right side, with his legs crossed, and entered Nirvana in the meditation room. He lived to the age of ninety-nine, with eighty years in the Sangha. The Buddhist world was desolate, and even the heavens were shaken with grief. He was posthumously awarded the title of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies (Honglu Qing), and buried in the western mountains of Qianlongmen. Li Xian, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, and the Vinaya Master Dingbin, who was in charge of the rituals of the Buddhist community, were responsible for supervising the funeral. On the eighth day of the eighth month, he was buried in the western mountains of Qianlongmen. The people of the capital mourned with tears, and the mountains and rivers changed color.

'Stele and Preface of the Venerable Śubhakarasiṃha, Tripiṭaka Master of the Great Sacred Good Temple in the Eastern Capital of the Great Tang Dynasty, formerly of Central India'

Written by his disciple, Li Hua of Zhaojun, former Left Admonisher

Written by the Śramaṇa Jiecheng of Changqing Temple in Hengfu

Engraved and inscribed by the Śramaṇa Hengxiu of this temple

The Venerable Śubhakarasiṃha (Śubhakarasiṃha) was a direct descendant of King Śuddhodana, with the Dharma name Śubhakarasiṃha (Śubhakarasiṃha). He was a descendant of King Amṛtodana, the uncle of Śākyamuni Buddha (Śākyamuni). His ancestors were enfeoffed from Central India to Andhra. His father was King Buddhahasta. Because the Venerable One was born with the appearance of a sage and possessed both virtue and talent at an early age, he underwent various tests. At the age of ten, he led the precepts, and at the age of thirteen, he inherited the throne. His brothers launched a rebellion, and he was forced to conquer them. He was wounded in battle, and his head was injured while resisting the wheels. The army won because it followed the will of heaven, and the brothers were preserved because of their love for their relatives. Therefore, he reported to the Queen Mother and told the ministers: 'The previous conquest was to sever affection out of righteousness. Now I have given the country to them, so that they can realize their ambitions.' Therefore, he abdicated the throne to his brother and firmly requested to leave home and practice. The Queen Mother agreed with sorrow and gave him the national treasure. He went south to the seaside, obtained a special monastery, and entered the 'Samādhi of the Lotus Sutra'. He piled up sand to build pagodas, vowing to build ten thousand. Even if he was bitten on the finger by a black snake, he would not retreat. He entrusted his body to a merchant ship and went to.

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：中印度有一位密修禪誦者，口中能放出白光。在沒有風的情況下，他的船也能日行萬里。一次，他和商人一同遭遇強盜，面臨被殺的危險。他便安慰同伴，默默誦唸真言。七俱胝尊（七千萬尊，指數量極多的佛菩薩）全部顯現身相。強盜果然被其他寇賊所消滅，寇賊於是坦白罪行，歸順誠服，指引他們道路的險夷。他們越過荒涼之地，渡過有毒的河流，到達中天境上，見到了國王。國王的夫人是和上（Upādhyaya，親教師）的姐姐。和上穿著和普通人一樣的衣服，但他的同伴卻以對待君王的禮節侍奉他。國王詢問其中的緣由，感嘆讚美不已。菩提眷屬（指修行菩提道的人）當天一同返回。慈悲的雲朵佈滿天空，整個境域都發生了真誠的改變。於是，和上開啟了三乘（聲聞乘、緣覺乘、菩薩乘）的寶藏，窮盡了諸部的宗義，品評偈頌章句，沒有遺漏。他宣說龍宮的義理，得到了師子（Simha，獅子）的頻申（頻婆，指佛的金色光芒）。他的名聲震動五天（印度五大區域），被尊為稱首（領袖）。那爛陀寺（Nālandā，古代印度佛教寺院），是像法（佛法衰微時期）的泉源，是眾多聖賢的聚會之處。和上拾起寶珠，裝飾在大佛像的額頭，白天像月亮一樣明亮，夜晚則光芒四射。僧寶中有達磨鞠多（Dharmagupta，法護），唐朝稱他為法護，掌管著定門（禪定之門）的秘鑰，佩戴著如來（Tathāgata，佛的稱號之一）的密印。他的容顏如同四十歲的人，但實際上已經八百歲了。和上於是以頭頂禮他的雙足，奉他為本師（根本的老師）。和上看到本師的缽中，不是他們國家的食物，便給一位禪僧看，這位禪僧是華人。他看到油餅還溫熱，粟米飯還有餘溫，驚訝地嘆息道：『中國距離這裡有十萬八千里，那是早上煮熟的飯，中午就送到了這裡，這是何等的神速啊！』在場的人都感到震驚，只有和上默默不語。本師悄悄地對和上說：『中國白馬寺（Baima Temple）的重閣剛剛建成，我適才接受供養后返回。你能不說話，真是可以學習啊。』於是，本師傳授給他總持（Dhāraṇī，總攝憶持）的尊教，龍神圍繞，清晰地出現在眼前。無量的印契（Mudrā，手印）一時之間全部接受。當天就為他灌頂（Abhiṣeka，一種宗教儀式），成為天人師（Devarakṣita，天神和人類的導師），被稱為日三藏（Sun Tripitaka）。三藏（Tripitaka，佛教經典的總稱）有六種含義，內在是定（Samadhi，禪定）、戒（Śila，戒律）、慧（Prajñā，智慧），外在是經（Sutra，佛經）、律（Vinaya，戒律）、論（Abhidharma，論藏）。用陀羅尼（Dhāraṇī，總持咒語）來總攝它們。只有陀羅尼，是快速的輪子，是解脫吉祥的海洋，三世（過去、現在、未來）諸佛，都從中產生。

【English Translation】 English version: In Central India, there was a secret practitioner of meditation and chanting, who could emit white light from his mouth. Without wind, his boat could travel ten thousand miles a day. Once, he and the merchants encountered a group of robbers, facing the danger of being killed. He comforted his companions and silently recited true mantras. Seven Kotis (Koti, ten million) of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fully manifested their forms. The robbers were indeed annihilated by other bandits, who then confessed their crimes and surrendered sincerely, guiding them through the dangerous and safe paths. They crossed desolate lands, crossed poisonous rivers, and reached the Middle Heaven realm, where they met the king. The king's wife was the sister of the Upadhyaya (Upādhyaya, preceptor). The Upadhyaya wore the same clothes as ordinary people, but his companions served him with the etiquette of a king. The king asked the reason for this and praised him endlessly. The Bodhi family (those who practice the Bodhi path) returned together that day. Clouds of compassion covered the sky, and the entire realm underwent a sincere transformation. Then, the Upadhyaya opened the treasury of the Three Vehicles (Śrāvakayāna, Pratyekabuddhayana, Bodhisattvayana), exhausted the doctrines of all the schools, and recited verses and chapters without omission. He expounded the meaning of the Dragon Palace and obtained the frequency of Simha (Simha, lion) . His name shook the Five Indias, and he was honored as the chief. Nalanda (Nālandā, ancient Indian Buddhist monastery) was the source of the Semblance Dharma (the period of decline of the Buddha's teachings) and the gathering place of many sages. The Upadhyaya picked up a jewel and decorated the forehead of the large Buddha statue, which was as bright as the moon during the day and shone brightly at night. Among the Sangha treasures was Dharmagupta (Dharmagupta, Dharma protector), whom the Tang Dynasty called Dharma protector, who held the secret key to the Samadhi gate and wore the secret seal of the Tathagata (Tathāgata, one of the titles of the Buddha). His face was like that of a forty-year-old, but he was actually eight hundred years old. The Upadhyaya then bowed his head to his feet and honored him as his root teacher. The Upadhyaya saw that the food in his teacher's bowl was not from their country, so he showed it to a Chan monk, who was Chinese. He saw that the oil cakes were still warm and the millet rice still had residual heat, and he sighed in surprise: 'China is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from here. The rice was cooked in the morning and delivered here at noon. How fast is this!' Everyone present was shocked, but only the Upadhyaya remained silent. The teacher secretly said to the Upadhyaya: 'The Chongge (double storied pavilion) of the White Horse Temple (Baima Temple) in China has just been completed. I have just returned after receiving offerings. You can remain silent, you are truly worthy of learning.' Then, the teacher transmitted to him the teachings of Dharani (Dhāraṇī, total retention), surrounded by dragons and gods, clearly appearing before his eyes. Countless Mudras (Mudrā, hand gestures) were all received at once. On the same day, he was initiated (Abhiṣeka, a religious ceremony) and became a teacher of gods and humans (Devarakṣita, teacher of gods and humans), and was called Sun Tripitaka. The Tripitaka (Tripitaka, the general name of Buddhist scriptures) has six meanings: internally, it is Samadhi (Samadhi, meditation), Śila (Śila, precepts), and Prajñā (Prajñā, wisdom); externally, it is Sutra (Sutra, Buddhist scriptures), Vinaya (Vinaya, precepts), and Abhidharma (Abhidharma, Abhidharma). Use Dharani (Dhāraṇī, total retention mantra) to summarize them. Only Dharani is the fast wheel, the sea of liberation and auspiciousness, and all the Buddhas of the three times (past, present, and future) are born from it.

"english_translations": [ "English version:", "This Dharma gate, transmitted by Huizhao (name of a monk), is like a single lamp. Because beings have different capacities and different natures, the realms illuminated by the lamp are also boundless. Therefore, there are billions of Śākyamuni (founder of Buddhism), and as many Samādhi (meditative states) as dust particles. Bodhisattvas (those who have generated Bodhicitta and aspire to Buddhahood) use Vajra-like (diamond-like) determination to encompass all Samādhi. The pure wisdom like the white moon merges mysteriously with the Dharmakāya (the body of truth of the Buddha), rapidly elevating the stages of practice, approaching the Mahābodhi (the great enlightenment of the Buddha). This is the extraordinary aspect of this Dharma gate.", "", "The Héshàng (a respectful title for monks) paid homage to sacred sites everywhere, practiced in vast and desolate lands, unafraid of hardship, visiting each site three times. He ordained Kāśyapa (an important disciple in Buddhism), and received the touch of Avalokiteśvara (a Bodhisattva in Buddhism) on his head. He once observed the summer retreat on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain (a sacred mountain in Buddhism). A fierce beast blocked his path, he went deep into a cave, the cave was as bright as day, and he saw a standing statue of Muni (short for Śākyamuni), with attendants on either side, lifelike in appearance. There was a great drought in Madhya-deśa (ancient central India), and the king requested the Héshàng to pray for rain. The great saint Avalokiteśvara, in the moon disc, held a kuṇḍikā (water bottle) in his hand, pouring water onto the ground. He was once moved to tears under the Śāla trees (where the Buddha entered Nirvana). When asked about people from the time of the Buddha, they were unwilling to speak, only one out of ten would say anything. He forged gold into palm leaves (used for writing scriptures), and wrote the Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra (the collection of Prajñāpāramitā Sutras). He built a Stupa (Buddhist monument) of silver, equal in size to the Buddha's body. The Queen Mother (the king's mother) thought the Héshàng had passed away, and cried until she went blind, but later sent a letter of inquiry and learned that the Héshàng was safe and well. After the Mahāvīra (one of the titles of Śākyamuni) entered Nirvana, Tīrthikas (religions or philosophies outside of Buddhism) flourished, with ninety-six sects, each adhering to their own views. The Héshàng, according to what they were attached to, gave teachings, dispelling their doubts, freeing their minds from the bondage of wrong views, and leading them back from the path of delusion to the path of enlightenment. His Dharma, like Dharma clouds, nourishes all equally, regardless of size; his Samādhi water, fills all vessels, regardless of shape. He destroyed the flags and drums of heterodoxies, and established the victorious banner of the mind-king, enabling them to control their wild minds with right mindfulness, and to contemplate the Buddha in their present bodies. His teacher (referring to the Héshàng's teacher) said happily: 'Good man,

【English Translation】 English version: Zi Wu (a monk) said, 'There is such a person!' (referring to Elder Monk Yi Xing). Among his Dharma companions, his character was the highest. He only respected and served Elder Bao Siwei (a monk's name), and treated the rest with the etiquette of disciples. Chan Master Yi Xing (a monk's name), in addition to meditation and wisdom, was proficient in all kinds of skills between heaven and earth. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would definitely ask for advice before acting. The Abbot (referring to Elder Monk Yi Xing) was of pure quality and outstanding spirit, with a peaceful temperament and concise speech. He did not depart from the precepts, yet his body and mind were very free; he did not often leave meditation, but his vows to promote the Dharma were very complete. He responded when people came to him for help, and he had no obstacles in the face of any situation. Therefore, all kinds of difficulties could be resolved, and his skills could encompass all kinds of crafts. His great compassion permeated everything, and he treated plants and trees like his own children. I really don't know how high his realm is!' In this temple, a golden bronze spirit pagoda was cast. (Monk Yi Xing) said, 'Use this merit to respond to conditions and protect the world.' He personally made the model, which was extremely exquisite. The monks in the temple melted the metal, which was a large undertaking, and the courtyard seemed narrow. Lu (a monk's name) was worried that the wind would be strong and the fire would be intense, and that the fire would spread to the temple. Yi Xing smiled and said, 'There is nothing to worry about, there will naturally be a response.' When the casting day arrived, heavy snow covered the sky. After the spirit pagoda was cast, auspicious flowers fell on the mats. On several occasions, he received imperial edicts to pray for rain to stop droughts and to extinguish fires and reverse winds. These obvious events were witnessed by everyone. (Monk Yi Xing) calmly accepted requests and greatly protected the Sangha. The prosperity of the True Dharma depends on the 'dragons and elephants' (a metaphor for outstanding talents), which is truly believable. He submitted a memorial requesting to return to his country, but the emperor did not approve it with a generous edict. On the seventh day of the eleventh month of the twenty-third year of the Kaiyuan era, (Monk Yi Xing) lay on his right side and passed away peacefully in the meditation room. He lived to be ninety-nine years old, with eighty years as a monk. The Dharma realm was filled with desolation, and even Heaven was shaken with grief. The court posthumously awarded him the title of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies and sent Li Xian, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, and the dignified monk and Vinaya Master Ding Bin to supervise the burial at the Western Mountains of Longmen. The people of the city came to weep and mourn, and the mountains and rivers changed color. His disciple, Monk Bao Siwei (a monk's name), was the great-grandson of Zheng Gong of Rongyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His disciple, Monk Ming Siwei (a monk's name), was a descendant of the Wang family of Langya. They were both outstanding talents from noble families, who awakened in a transcendent way. They used the words enlightened from their own minds as eloquent and unobstructed eloquence, and used subtle application as the principle of Dhyana. Only these two were able to truly enter the room of the Abbot (referring to Elder Monk Yi Xing). During the Qianyuan era, the way of heaven was rectified again. The great ruler used his heart to confirm unconditioned great compassion and personally practiced filial piety without reservation. Therefore, Brahma and Indra protected the emperor's carriage, and the Nagas and other deities helped the army. Evil and filth were swept away, and both humans and gods were purified. Important positions were gloriously entrusted, and the Dharma flourished greatly. Monks Yi Xing and the other monk then...

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：以偈頌的形式，將這些話刻在金石上。佛法超越文字，真理無法用言語來形容。以此來安慰弟子們感懷思慕的心情，就像顏回那樣，發出深深的嘆息。偈文如下：釋迦牟尼佛（Śākyamuni Buddha）是尊貴的釋迦族後裔，如同龍從池中升起，他捨棄王位，最終悟道，成為人天導師。他救度無數眾生，廣施甘露般的慈悲。他的教法如清風驅散煩惱，如明月破除昏昧的疑惑。佛法的本質是不生不滅，而我（指無畏三藏，Śubhakarasiṃha）並沒有獲得什麼。我只是隨順因緣，四處弘揚佛法，最終來到中國。皇帝和皇后親自迎接，天花散滿了衣襟。在歡喜園中，只聽見瞻卜花的芬芳。無數的佛陀調伏眾生的心，從過去到現在，一直用灌頂的方式。聲聞乘的修行者現在也顯現出來。須彌山（Mount Meru）高大殊妙，海中的月亮圓滿深邃。佛陀示現涅槃（nirvāṇa），但並非真正的滅亡，空留下鶴林中的悲傷。伊水西邊的山中，幽暗的石室裡，金棺已經關閉。我們恭敬地瞻仰元日。雙寶（指佛法和僧伽）照亮了前程，教法尊貴，語言精妙。皈依我佛法的人，是因為方便之法而悟到真實的道理。

【English Translation】 English version: In the form of a gatha (verse), these words are inscribed on metal and stone. The Dharma transcends words, and the Tao (path) cannot be named. This is to console the disciples' feelings of remembrance and longing, like Yan Hui's deep sigh. Śākyamuni Buddha (釋迦牟尼佛) is a noble descendant of the Śākya clan, like a dragon emerging from a pond. He abandoned his throne and ultimately attained enlightenment, becoming a teacher of gods and humans. He saves countless beings, bestowing nectar-like compassion. His teachings are like a clear breeze dispelling afflictions, like a bright moon breaking through the darkness of doubt. The essence of the Dharma is neither arising nor ceasing, and I (referring to Śubhakarasiṃha, 無畏三藏) have not attained anything. I simply follow the conditions and propagate the Dharma everywhere, eventually arriving in China. The emperor and empress personally welcomed me, and heavenly flowers filled my robes. In the Garden of Joy, only the fragrance of Champaka (瞻卜) flowers is heard. Countless Buddhas tame the minds of beings, from the past to the present, always using the method of abhiseka (灌頂, consecration). The practitioners of the Śrāvakayāna (聲聞乘) are also appearing now. Mount Meru (須彌山) is tall and sublime, and the moon in the sea is round and profound. The Buddha manifested nirvana (涅槃), but it is not true extinction, leaving only sorrow in the Crane Forest. In the mountains west of the Yi River, in the dark stone chamber, the golden coffin is already closed. We respectfully gaze upon the first day of the year. The Two Jewels (雙寶, referring to the Dharma and the Sangha) illuminate the path ahead, the teachings are noble, and the language is exquisite. Those who take refuge in my Dharma do so because of expedient means to realize the true principle.

(The original record) In the eleventh year of Zhenyuan, the year of Yihai, on the first day of the fourth month, Wuxu, established on the seventeenth day, Jia Yin. In the first year of Qianyuan, Duke Guo memorialized to change the Pagoda Courtyard into Guanghua Temple. The one specifically responsible for checking and proofreading was the senior monk Shanyi, a disciple of this temple, the abbot of Shanyi Temple, Monk Guangxiu, the Du Weina (都維那) Monk Zhiman, the former senior disciple Huizhao, Tanzhen, the abbot Ruzhang, the steadfast Dianzuo (典座), Daoji, Ma Zhan of Fufeng, and Qu Ben of Hedong, who were responsible for engraving the characters.

【English Translation】 English version │ Chan Master of Mount Song (Unrecorded statements from 'Wuji Lu') └ Puji of Songshan (Unrecorded statements from 'Wuji Lu')── Yi Xing of Songyang Temple (Same) This concludes the fourth transcription of the Transmission of the Lamp. Privately noted: Chan Master Jingxian of Huishan Temple on Mount Song received the Bodhisattva precepts and karma rituals from Tripitaka Subhakarasimha. He inquired about the subtle and essential principles of Mahayana. Chan Master Huijing of Ximing Temple compiled a volume called 'Essentials of Chan'. This Jingxian might be a disciple of Chan Master Shenxiu who served Chan Master Jing. This 'Essentials of Chan' was compiled by Chan Master Huijing, and Chan Master Yi Xing further revised it. The essence can be understood from the secret teachings of the mind, as revealed in the text. Puji of Songshan was posthumously named Chan Master Dazhao. See 'Biographies of Eminent Monks of the Song Dynasty'. Furthermore, the esoteric Yi Xing received the essence of Chan teachings from Chan Master Dazhao. See 'Ono Zannyo Shu'. Yi Xing of Songyang Temple was a disciple of Subhakarasimha and of the same lineage. Moreover, its essence is recorded in the fifth volume of 'Biographies of Eminent Monks of the Song Dynasty', in the section on Yi Xing. Repaired and bound by the monk Kyu in the year Dingmao, the fourth year of the Enkyo era. Bhadra-sutra (age 64)
