A Collection of Memorials and Imperial Edicts by the Tripiṭaka Master Da Bianzheng Guangzhi, Posthumously Granted the Title of Minister of Public Works During the Daizong Reign, Volume 1

Compiled by the Śrāmaṇa Shi Yuanzhao of Ximing Temple in the Upper Capital Chang'an

The Tripiṭaka Master of Da Xingshan Temple in the Great Tang Dynasty, whose personal name was Zhizang, was known as Amoghavajra (不空金剛). His Sanskrit name was Amukhavajra (阿目佉跋折羅), and he was originally from the Western Regions. In his early years, he served the great propagator Vajrabodhi (金剛三藏), receiving the true words of the mantra. After twenty-four years, he earnestly requested further instruction. After the death of the master Vajrabodhi, Amoghavajra returned to the Five Indias (Panca-vidya), extensively reading and perusing all the Sanskrit Yoga scriptures, and then returned to the imperial capital. Sometimes he propagated the Dharma in the Hexi region, and sometimes he returned to Guanzhong. During the final years of the Tianbao era of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, and rebel forces entered Guanzhong. In the second year of the Zhide era of Emperor Suzong of Tang, the Tang army recovered the capital Luoyang. The Venerable Amoghavajra personally received the emperor's decree, meticulously constructed the mandala, and served as the initiation ācārya. He received the favor and preferential treatment of three emperors. He submitted memorials thanking the emperor for his grace, and the emperor issued edicts in response. The teacher and disciple succeeded each other, with a total of one hundred and forty-four memorials and edicts, divided into six volumes, hoping to be passed down to future generations, so that those who love Buddhism may understand his aspirations. Memorial Congratulating the Recovery of the Western Capital in the Suzong Reign (with reply), Memorial Congratulating the Recovery of the Eastern Capital (with reply), Memorial Congratulating the Return of the Retired Emperor to the Capital (with reply), Memorial Thanking the Emperor for the Gift of Incense and Expressing Sentiments, Imperial Edict Requesting the Search for Sanskrit Sutras Throughout the Realm for Restoration and Translation, Imperial Edict Permitting the Search for Sanskrit Sutras and Official Document from the Ministry of Rites, Memorial Congratulating Empress Zhang, Imperial Edict Permitting the Translation of Sutras and Treatises and Official Document from the Ministry of Rites (with reply), Memorial Presenting Amber Images and a Statement of the Cūḍāmaṇi-dhāraṇī in Sanskrit (with reply), Imperial Decree in Ink Permitting the Establishment of an Abhiṣeka Maṇḍala at Da Xingshan Temple, Edict from the Emperor to Zhiju Temple for Performing Meritorious Deeds and Official Document to the Grand Marshal of All Military Forces in the Realm, Memorial Presenting a White Sandalwood Image of Marici and a Statement of the Śūraṅgama Mantra in Sanskrit (with reply), Imperial Decree in Ink Requesting the Establishment of an Abhiṣeka Maṇḍala Every Year, Imperial Edict Requesting the Establishment of Forty-Nine Virtuous Monks at Da Xingshan Temple, Edict from the Ministry of Rites Requesting the Ordination of Seven Monks on the Emperor's Birthday, Request to Re-translate the Humane King Prajñā Based on Sanskrit Texts

賀收復西京表一首

大興善寺三藏沙門智藏（Zhizang，人名，大興善寺的僧人）言：我聽說，天是至大的，沒有偉大的聖人就無法順應天意施行誅罰；君王傚法天道，沒有振興王業就無法代替天來養育萬物。恭敬地拜稟陛下，您的功德超越了建立最高準則，您的道行冠絕於混沌之初。繼承了堯的寶貴基業，恢復了禹的偉大功績。自從元兇被誅滅，殘餘的邪惡勢力仍然迷惑不悟。陛下您以道義等待他們倒戈，以恩德優先施予善意。暫時動用軍隊，永遠消滅豺狼。自從京城一帶肅清，百姓們都盼望您能駕臨。陛下您俯順民意，完全符合天心。山川沒有改變，園林宮苑依舊如舊。如今您的車駕已經降臨，聖明的政治煥然一新。正要昭告上天，保佑百姓安康長壽。引導太上皇和汾陽王的祝賀，如同在圓丘祭壇上祭祀上帝。宣揚沙劫的教義來轉動法輪，照亮整個世界，佛日高懸。智藏我長期沐浴在王道的教化之中，再次看到漢朝的禮儀。受到的恩惠已經很多，哪裡還敢期望報答。懷著如同野鴨和水藻般微薄的心意，謹前往銀臺門，奉上奏表陳述祝賀，以稟告陛下。輕率地驚擾了陛下的威嚴，內心深感惶恐不安。沙門智藏誠惶誠恐地稟告。

【English Translation】 English version A collection of imperial edicts, including one for Grand Censor Du Mian's request to return to his fief; one edict for translating the scholastic texts; one memorial expressing gratitude for the imperial preface to the New Benevolent King Sutra and congratulating on the appearance of auspicious clouds during the hundred-seat dharma assembly (with a reply); one imperial edict posthumously granting the title of Kaifu to the deceased Vajra Tripitaka; and one imperial edict appointing and bestowing a title upon Amoghavajra Hongqing.

A memorial congratulating the recapture of the Western Capital

The Tripitaka Shramana Zhizang (Zhizang, a personal name, a monk of Daxingshan Temple) of Daxingshan Temple says: I have heard that Heaven is supreme, and without a great sage, there is no way to follow Heaven's will to carry out punishment; the king emulates Heaven, and without revitalizing the kingship, there is no way to nurture all things on behalf of Heaven. I respectfully report to Your Majesty that your merits surpass the establishment of the highest principles, and your virtue surpasses the beginning of chaos. You have inherited Yao's precious legacy and restored Yu's great achievements. Since the chief culprit was executed, the remaining evil forces are still deluded. Your Majesty, you waited for them to defect with righteousness and gave priority to kindness. Temporarily using the military force, you will forever eliminate the jackals and wolves. Since the area around the capital has been cleared, the people are looking forward to your arrival. Your Majesty, you have complied with the people's wishes and fully conformed to Heaven's will. The mountains and rivers have not changed, and the gardens and palaces are still as before. Now that your carriage has arrived, the sacred government has been renewed. You are about to proclaim to the heavens and bless the people with peace and longevity. Guiding the congratulations of the Supreme Emperor and the Prince of Fenyang is like offering sacrifices to God at the Round Hill Altar. Spreading the teachings of the kalpa to turn the Dharma wheel, illuminating the entire world, the sun of the Buddha hangs high. I, Zhizang, have long been bathed in the teachings of kingship and have seen the rituals of the Han Dynasty again. I have received many favors, and I dare not expect to repay them. With a humble heart like that of a duckweed, I respectfully go to the Yintai Gate to present a memorial stating my congratulations to report to Your Majesty. I have rashly disturbed Your Majesty's dignity, and I am deeply apprehensive. Shramana Zhizang reports with sincerity and fear.

October 24th, the second year of Zhide

Tripitaka Shramana Zhizang of Daxingshan Temple presents the memorial

The Guangtian Dasheng Wenwu Xiaogan Emperor of Qianyuan decrees:

Posthumously conferred the title of Emperor Wenming Wude Dasheng Daxuanxiao.

The cunning people have long been brutal and tyrannical. Heaven has hated their sins, which eventually led to their downfall. Seeing that the city walls and palaces still exist, and facing the people who are safe and sound. I am deeply gratified, and all of this is remembered in my heart. I know what you are congratulating.

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 冰雪消融，我軍獨自攻克（敵方），百姓歡欣鼓舞，情不自禁地手舞足蹈，喜出望外。智藏聽聞，違背道義的人必然滅亡，罪孽深重難以逃脫，（他們的罪行）早已寫在竹簡上。這真是至理名言。自從狂妄的叛賊發動叛亂以來，已經三年了，天怒人怨，罪惡累積到了極點。陛下您勤于政事，早起晚睡，飲食簡樸。因此，使得各位大臣竭盡全力，將士們奮勇爭先，周密的計劃沒有遺漏，神奇的功績再次顯現。趁著這勢如破竹的局勢，會合那些倒戈的敵軍，一次戰役取得三次勝利，接連幾天就收復了兩都。這實在是因為陛下您英明的謀略廣泛運用，卓越的才華非同尋常，聖明的力量匡扶社稷，特別超越了歷代君王。您將要前往泰山舉行祭祀大典，昭告上天。智藏有幸身處這昌明的時代，期待著觀看這盛大的典禮。我高興得不知如何是好，謹前往銀臺門，呈上奏表，表達我的祝賀。輕率地冒犯了皇上的威嚴，我深感惶恐不安。沙門智藏誠惶誠恐，謹上。

【English Translation】 English version The ice melts, and our royal army conquers (the enemy) alone. The people rejoice and celebrate, spontaneously dancing with joy, overjoyed beyond expectation. Zhizang (name of the monk) has heard that those who defy morality are destined to perish, and their grave sins are inescapable; (their misdeeds) have long been written on bamboo slips. This is indeed a profound truth. Since the arrogant rebels initiated their revolt, three years have passed, incurring divine and human wrath, with their wickedness accumulating to the extreme. Your Majesty diligently attends to state affairs, rising early and retiring late, maintaining simple meals. Consequently, the ministers exert their utmost efforts, and the generals bravely strive forward. Meticulous plans leave no omissions, and miraculous achievements manifest once more. Seizing this momentum of irresistible force, uniting with those enemy forces who defect, achieving three victories in a single campaign, and recovering both capitals within a few days. This is truly because Your Majesty's wise strategies are widely applied, your exceptional talents are extraordinary, and your sagacious power supports the nation, surpassing all previous rulers. You are about to ascend Mount Tai to perform sacrificial rites, proclaiming to the heavens. Zhizang is fortunate to live in this prosperous era, anticipating the opportunity to witness this grand ceremony. Overjoyed beyond measure, I respectfully proceed to the Silver Terrace Gate to present this memorial, expressing my congratulations. Presumptuously intruding upon Your Majesty's dignity, I am deeply apprehensive and fearful. The śrāmaṇa (Buddhist monk) Zhizang, with sincere reverence and joy, respectfully submits this.

The twenty-seventh day of the tenth month, the second year of Zhide (era name).

The Tripiṭaka śrāmaṇa Zhizang of the Daxingshan Temple presents this memorial.

The Emperor's response:

The matter of congratulations is known.

Memorial congratulating the Emperor Emeritus on returning to the capital, one piece.

The śrāmaṇa Bukong (name of the monk) says: Bukong has heard that the Dao (the Way) prioritizes the Emperor, and when the Emperor's Dao is pervasive, then divine achievements do not require a master. Filial piety is the root of virtue, and when supreme virtue flourishes, one can receive the mandate bestowed by Heaven. I respectfully believe that Your Majesty has inherited the mandate of Heaven, emulating Yao and Shun, following Yu the Great, restoring the correct order of the universe without altering the old ways, and pacifying both capitals in less than a month. Your achievements align with the will of Heaven, and your virtue surpasses all previous rulers. You welcome the officials in the east and greet the Emperor Emeritus in the west. You remove the imperial robes and personally guide the Emperor Emeritus's carriage, clearing the path and continuing the congratulations to the Emperor Emeritus. The Heavenly Father, the Son of Heaven, pre-heaven and post-heaven, leaving the palace and returning to the capital, rectifying the moral principles and securing the well-being of the people. This is truly because the Emperor Emeritus imparts teachings, attributing merit and yielding precedence, surpassing even Emperor Yao. Your Majesty, seizing the opportune moment, your supreme virtue surpasses the achievements of the founding kings. It is sufficient to illuminate history and rival Tang Yao and Yu Shun. Bukong is fortunate to be born in this prosperous era, encountering this glorious scene. Overjoyed beyond measure, I respectfully proceed to the Silver Terrace Gate to present this memorial, expressing my congratulations. Presumptuously intruding upon Your Majesty's dignity, I am even more apprehensive and fearful. The śrāmaṇa Bukong, with sincere reverence and joy, respectfully submits this.

The second year of Zhide.

至德三年正月二十三日

【English Translation】 English version February 9th

The Tripiṭaka śrāmaṇa (Buddhist monk who has mastered the three divisions of the Buddhist canon) Bukong (Amoghavajra) of Daxingshan Temple submits a memorial.

The Emperor's Edict:

'The war clouds have been swept away, and the entire realm is pacified. His Majesty has returned to the palace to reside in peace, and the morning and evening rituals express profound joy and celebration. Acknowledged.'

A Memorial of Thanks for the Gift of Incense

The śrāmaṇa Bukong reports: The envoy Wu Youyan has arrived, proclaiming the imperial decree that, because Bukong is holding a vegetarian feast at this temple today, fragrant incense is specially bestowed, and an angel is sent down, deeply receiving imperial grace, and the joy is beyond words. Bukong is truly fearful and delighted. Bukong relies on the flow of Dharma, thinking of propagating Esoteric Buddhism, traveling alone for thousands of miles, studying all five Indias (ancient India was divided into five regions: East, West, South, North, and Central, collectively known as the Five Indias). Concentrating on contemplating the ten directions, paying homage to the Buddhas of the Hua-yan (Avatamsaka) world, focusing on the five sections (five categories of Esoteric Buddhism), exhausting the true words of Nairanjana (Lumbini Garden, the birthplace of the Buddha). Each time arranging the letters for contemplation, dedicating myself to seeking protection, I wish to rely on the power of the great vows, to encounter the emergence and prosperity of the Chakravartin (Universal Ruler). I have been self-disciplined for ten years, meeting the wise and sagacious Emperor many times. Before, when the Hangu Pass had not yet opened, Your Majesty was cultivating virtue in the Eastern Palace, and I had already received your virtuous words, and you specially inquired and bestowed incense and medicine, secretly sending blessings. And when Your Majesty toured the north, although Bukong was unable to accompany you, the disciple monks, including Hanguang, returned from the west, and were able to personally encounter your carriage, and in the rugged military journey, I heard in advance your decision to quell the rebellion. Although Bukong is trapped in the land of the barbarians, my heart always serves the imperial court, and I have repeatedly received your secret edicts, and the offerings have been conveyed to you. Your Majesty's wise strategies operate independently, and the power of the Dharma secretly blesses, the villains are scattered and destroyed, and your imperial image returns to its proper position. My insignificant self has again received the grace of the court, and in October, a demon-repelling Dharma assembly was established in the Qing Palace, and on the first day of the first month, a ceremony to recommend a title was held, and you still personally attended the initiation altar. Painting and decorating the upper palace, and perfuming and repairing the separate hall. Since you have allowed the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and also allowed me to ordain monks, the grace is already very deep, when will I be able to repay it? I will respectfully bathe the Buddha at the three times of the day, and perform Homa (fire ritual) twice a month, hoping that the Thirty-seven Deities (the Thirty-seven Deities of the Vajradhatu Mandala) will protect the land of the Ming King (Enlightened Ruler), and the Sixteen Protectors will increase the majesty of the Holy Emperor, and that his life will be as long as the Southern Mountain, forever without end. With boundless gratitude, I respectfully submit this memorial to express my thanks. The śrāmaṇa Bukong is truly fearful and delighted, and respectfully reports.

January 23rd of the third year of the Zhìdé era

【English Translation】 English version A memorial presented by the Tripiṭaka śrāmaṇa Amoghavajra (Bukong, 不空) of Daxingshan Temple. Approved by the Guangwen Wuwu Dasheng Xiaogan Emperor: 'Master, you manifested in the West and propagated the Dharma in China. I am fully aware of the great vows you made in the past. You have brought great blessings, like traversing the sands of the Ganges. Since you traveled arduously, I have always been mindful of the causes and conditions involved. Now, a bhikkhu asks me about the Dharma and states his wishes. Now, these lotus-like pure palm-leaf manuscripts once again proclaim the subtle and inconceivable Dharma of the Buddha. To revere non-attachment is like the finest incense of Ceylon. To uphold diligent practice is to never regress. I understand what is to be thanked for.' Please search and examine all Sanskrit texts in the realm, and repair and translate them. - An imperial edict The Ci'en Temple, Jianfu Temple, and other temples in the central capital, as well as the Shanshan Temple, Changshou Temple, Fuguang Temple, and other temples in the eastern capital, and the temples, villages, and hamlets in various prefectures and counties, wherever there are old Sanskrit texts brought by the Tripiṭaka masters Yijing (義凈, a prominent Tang Dynasty monk and translator), Śubhakarasiṃha (善無畏, a prominent Tantric monk from India during the Tang Dynasty, one of the three great masters of the Kaiyuan era), Lokakṣema (流支, one of the earliest translators of Buddhist scriptures in China during the Han Dynasty), Ratnasiddhi (寶勝, details of his life are unknown, possibly referring to the translator of the Ratnamegha Sutra). This is a memorial from the Tripiṭaka śrāmaṇa Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple: The aforementioned Sanskrit texts, etc., because many were not translated by the previous Tripiṭaka masters, and the years have been long, the cords of the scriptures are mostly broken, scattered and submerged, which is truly lamentable. If they are not repaired, I fear it would be contrary to the holy teachings. Recently, I received the Emperor's grace to allow translation. This matter requires discussion and verification of subtle language. I hope that the Emperor will allow inspection and searching in various places. Among them, those that are damaged or missing should be repaired as appropriate. Those that can be propagated and elucidated, helping the country to promote teaching and transformation, should be translated and reported to the Emperor, to pray for blessings for the Emperor's sacred body, which would be most excellent. Receiving the Emperor's approval, please issue it to the relevant departments. The Ministry of Central Affairs notifies the Tripiṭaka Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple: Having received the Emperor's edict, it should be handled according to the request. After the notification arrives, it should be implemented according to the Emperor's edict. - Notification March 12th, the first year of the Qianyuan era Cui Yuan, Special Advanced Grand Tutor of the Heir Apparent and Director of the Department of State Affairs Miao Jinqing, Special Advanced Palace Attendant Li (Shi), Minister of the Ministry of War with the title of Co-officiating with the Secretariat Supervising Department Shun (Shi), Minister of Public Works with the title of Co-officiating with the Secretariat Supervising Department An imperial edict allowing the search for Sanskrit texts, a notice from the Ministry of Rites The Ci'en Temple and other temples in the central capital, as well as the Shanshan Temple and Changshou Temple in the eastern capital, and the temples, villages, and hamlets in various prefectures and counties, wherever there are old Sanskrit texts brought by the Great Omniscient Yijing (義凈), Śubhakarasiṃha (善無畏), Liu

【English Translation】 English version The Sanskrit texts translated by Tripitaka masters such as Zhibao Sheng.

The Shramana (monk) Bukong (Amoghavajra) of Daxingshan Temple reports: Many of the Sanskrit texts translated by previous Tripitakas have not yet been translated. The years have been long, and many of the binding cords have broken. They are scattered and lost, which is truly regrettable. If they are not repaired, I fear it would be against the holy teachings. Recently, I received the Emperor's grace to allow translation, which requires exploration and verification of the subtle meanings. I hope to allow the relevant departments to inspect and collect these texts, and to repair any damage or omissions as needed. For those that can promote Buddhism, help the country, and educate the people, continue to translate and report to the Emperor, which is the most excellent way to pray for the Emperor's well-being. The Emperor has approved, please issue it to the relevant departments for execution. The Emperor's decree is to execute according to the report.

【English Translation】 English version: Presenting talents at the Linrong Pavilion, Your Majesty, you are in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven above and in harmony with the Way of Earth below. You follow the hearts of all living beings and the Mother of the World (referring to the Empress). With the two images (referring to the Emperor and Empress) established, everything is auspicious. Throughout the realm, who does not praise and celebrate? Moreover, I, Amoghavajra (an eminent monk of Esoteric Buddhism), have the honor of receiving your questions and have long been bathed in your profound grace. My joy is beyond words. I am exceedingly fortunate and joyful, yet also apprehensive. I respectfully present this congratulatory memorial to inform Your Majesty. I, Amoghavajra, report with sincere fear and trepidation.

April 8th, the first year of the Qianyuan era

The Tripiṭaka Śrāmaṇa Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple presents this memorial.

Imperial Edict of the Qianyuan Guangwen Wuwu Dasheng Xiao Gan Emperor:

The Empress's virtue extends throughout the palace, and her merits have aided in governance. Let us honor the 𠕋 rites (rites for the Empress) to rectify the image of Kun (referring to the Empress). The congratulations are acknowledged.

An edict is issued permitting the translation of scriptures and treatises, to be announced by the Ministry of Rites in a formal notice:

Eighty sections of works such as the Tārāṇī Teaching Vajraśekhara Yoga Tantra, and twenty sections of Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna scriptures and treatises, totaling one thousand two hundred scrolls.

Right: Śrāmaṇa Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple requests. Amoghavajra has heard that those who inherit Emperor Yao inherit the throne, and those who receive the Buddha's entrustment propagate the Buddha's teachings. Examining these maxims, they have never been altered. They flow and flourish for myriad generations, spreading branches and leaves in thousands. Amoghavajra, carrying a staff and a water bottle, traveled to India, seeking and traversing valleys and mountains, and journeying through various countries and regions. Whenever encountering sacred sites, I prostrated myself and requested reverence. I always heard the teachings and exhausted my pleas. I sought out the subtle and profound, and delved into the vast and deep. With sincere devotion, I entrusted my wishes, hoping to propagate and proclaim them. Thus, I obtained the aforementioned scriptures and treatises, but since arriving in the capital, they have not been translated. There is a lack of writing and a deviation from transmission and practice. I especially hope for Your Majesty's favor and compassion, permitting their translation. May the Dharma assembly be re-established, further paving the way for the upholding of the Dharma. May the sun of the Buddha rise again, further increasing the merit of expounding and propagating the teachings. With the Heavenly Grace granted, please direct the relevant departments to proceed.

June 11th, the first year of the Qianyuan era

Imperial Edict: As requested.

Chancellor of the Secretariat: Vacant

Vice-Chancellor of the Secretariat, holding concurrent posts as Vice-Director of the Department of State Affairs and concurrently Director of the Chancellery, bestowed with the Purple Gold Fish Pouch: Wang Yu Xuan

Adviser of Merit, Secretary of the Secretariat, concurrently Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Pillar of the State, Duke of Gu County: Li Kui, carrying out the order.

Following the Imperial Edict as above, the notice is to be carried out upon arrival.

One amber statue of Ratnasambhava Tathagata (寶生如來).

One copy of the Sanskrit Great Compassionate Dharani (大隨求陀羅尼).

Right: In the past, the Yellow River becoming clear was an auspicious sign of a new era, and lightning announced good fortune. Precisely during the Double Ninth Festival, a sage was born once in a thousand years. Because Your Majesty has rightfully inherited the throne, this statue named Ratnasambhava (寶生) is presented. Because Your Majesty cherishes the world, this Dharani of Great Compassion (隨求), which embodies enlightenment, is presented. The statue can illuminate everything, just as Your Majesty's light shines in all directions. The Dharani can subdue demonic forces, just as Your Majesty's power subdues all nations. According to the Vajrasekhara Sutra (金剛頂經), all Tathagatas attain perfect enlightenment after receiving the Ratnasambhava (寶生) empowerment. Furthermore, Your Majesty's profound merits reach the heavens, and Your Majesty governs the country with the righteous Dharma. Everything aligns with the times, like matching tallies. I humbly hope that Your Majesty will cultivate reverence, cherish it, and wear it, so that the power of the Dharani will illuminate the East and restore the vast royal influence. May the principal deity bestow blessings and extend Your Majesty's longevity like the Southern Mountain. I am filled with boundless joy and respectfully present this memorial. I have presumptuously disturbed Your Majesty, and I am filled with fear and trepidation. Respectfully presented.

I deeply believe, accept, and practice it, which is of great benefit to me.

Please enshrine it at the Xingshan Temple (興善寺).

請大興善寺修灌頂道場

右臣竊以為，消災避難之法，莫過於秘密大乘（Mahayana）。而大乘之法，以灌頂（Abhisheka）最為重要。今逢閏夏之月，百花盛開。懇請皇上命令三藏（Tripitaka）不空（Amoghavajra），于大興善寺為國家修建一座灌頂道場。此道場具有息災增益之教法，具有降伏歡喜之能力。以此功德，消滅各種兇險，增進皇上聖壽無疆，使國家長久清泰。臣素來沒有才幹，有幸奉命奔走，謹獻上我的愚誠，倍感戰慄。如蒙皇上允準我的奏請，請降下墨敕。

墨敕：依奏。

【English Translation】 English version Memorial on Establishing an Abhisheka Mandala (with Imperial Rescript in Ink)

Request to Establish an Abhisheka Mandala at Daxingshan Temple

Your subject humbly observes that the methods for averting disasters and overcoming difficulties are none other than the Secret Mahayana (Great Vehicle). Among the teachings of the Mahayana, Abhisheka (Initiation) is the most important. Now, in this intercalary summer month, all flowers are in bloom. I humbly request that Your Majesty order the Tripitaka (Three Baskets) master Amoghavajra (Bukong), at the aforementioned temple, to establish an Abhisheka Mandala for the benefit of the nation. This Mandala possesses the teachings of pacifying disasters and increasing blessings, and has the power to subdue and bring joy. By offering this merit, we can eliminate all misfortunes and increase Your Majesty's longevity without limit, ensuring lasting peace and prosperity for the country. Your subject is inherently lacking in talent and ability, but is fortunate to be entrusted with errands. I respectfully offer my humble sincerity, feeling ever more apprehensive. If Your Majesty approves my request, please issue an Imperial Rescript in Ink.

Imperial Rescript in Ink: Approved as requested.

Submitted on the 14th day of the intercalary fourth month of the third year of the Qianyuan era by Shi Yuancong, Palace Garden Patrol Commissioner, Defender General, Right Inner Guard Commander with Extra Staff, Concurrently Holding Regular Position, Awarded Purple-Gold Fish Bag, Inner Flying Dragon Messenger.

Memorial on Presenting a Marici Image and a Sanskrit Mahasahasrapramardani Dharani (with Reply)

One carved white sandalwood Marici (this means 'radiance') image.

One copy of the Sanskrit Mahasahasrapramardani Dharani.

Your subject Amoghavajra is fortunate to be born in a prosperous era, and early on served under Your Majesty's wise rule. Furthermore, I have encountered Your Majesty's birthday, and even more auspiciously, the day of the Golden Wheel. I humbly wish, with the radiance of this image, to pray for Your Majesty's longevity and the continuation of the imperial reign.

【English Translation】 English version: Name. With Your Majesty is the head of all kings. The mantra has the title of Buddha's Crown. According to the Great Buddha Crown Sutra, all Tathagatas (Tathagata, 如來) attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, 無上正等正覺) and receive this mantra (mantra, 咒語). Even the Chakravartin (Chakravartin, 轉輪聖王) emperors follow and practice it. Humbly, Your Majesty has ascended the throne by the grace of Heaven. The sacred governance is renewed. Governing the country with the righteous Dharma aligns with the spiritual realm. I humbly wish that you would cultivate reverence and carry it with you, so that vast transformation may extend to the eastern lands, and sacred longevity may extend to the southern mountains. I am filled with boundless joy. I respectfully submit this report. I have lightly disturbed the imperial dignity, and I am filled with fear and trepidation. I respectfully submit. October 13th, the first year of Baoying Submitted by the Tripitaka (Tripitaka, 三藏) Master Shramana (Shramana, 沙門) Amoghavajra (Amoghavajra, 不空) of Daxingshan Temple Imperial Edict: Temple name: Daizong, posthumous title: Ruiwen Xiaowu Emperor The sandalwood image and the true words on palm leaves. The Southern Land is distant, and China rarely encounters them. The venerable one compassionately protected and brought them here, not keeping them secret from the Sangha (Sangha, 僧伽). Transmitting them to the imperial palace is unprecedented. This is truly comforting to my heart. Please establish an Abhisheka (Abhisheka, 灌頂) Mandala (Mandala, 道場). Imperial Edict. Shramana Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple requests the establishment of an Abhisheka Mandala for the nation. Amoghavajra reports: Vairocana (Vairocana, 毗盧遮那) encompasses all realms. The secret mudra (mudra, 密印) and mantra (mantra, 真言) contain all sutras. According to its teachings, there are gradual and sudden paths. The gradual path refers to the Sravakas (Sravakas, 聲聞) and Hinayana (Hinayana, 小乘) practitioners ascending the altar to learn. The sudden path refers to the Abhisheka (Abhisheka, 灌頂) Dharma (Dharma, 法) gate for Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattvas, 菩薩) and Mahasattvas (Mahasattvas, 大士). It is the easy path to reach the ultimate, and the correct position to enter Buddhahood. 'Top' refers to the crown of the head, symbolizing the supreme height of great practice. 'Abhisheka' refers to the act of consecration, clarifying the protection and mindfulness of all Buddhas. What transcendence and liberation cannot be achieved through this? Therefore, I restrain myself, work diligently, and do not give up day and night. I vow to study and look up to it, daring not to be negligent. I hope that every year in the middle of summer and during the three long fasting months, it will be established according to the sutras. Adorn and purify flowers to awaken enlightenment, so that those with knowledge may return to the truth. May the borders be peaceful and the sacred body enjoy longevity. I cannot express the depth of my earnest thoughts. I respectfully go to the Right Silver Terrace Gate to submit this report and request to be heard. May the Heavenly Grace grant permission and issue an Imperial Edict in accordance with the request. November 14th, the first year of Guangde

郿縣建法寺的僧人法敬。

大興善寺的三藏沙門（指精通佛教經、律、論三藏的僧人）不空奏請：『現在這座寺廟是當初在長安城剛建立時，爲了鎮護帝國而首先建造的。寺廟的殿宇宏偉寬大，完全佔據了一個坊。自古以來，住持寺廟的都是德高望重的高僧。近來因為老僧們相繼去世，僧眾凋零衰敗，寺廟的威儀和規矩都廢棄斷絕了。況且經歷了多年，殿臺荒涼破敗。看到這些清凈的寺規，實在令人嘆息惋惜。雖然有後來出家的僧人，但是對戒律還不熟悉。又正值艱難時期，需要藉助佛法的福佑。』

『現在有四十九位大德，他們都道業清高，精通經書和戒律，為大眾所敬仰，可以作為僧眾的師範。懇請將他們隸屬於這座寺廟，如果有人缺位，可以繼續補充。這樣大家就能同心協力，匡正和維護寺廟，修繕破敗的地方，永久地供奉香火，以此來為皇上祈福。至於現在寺廟裡負責事務的綱維僧人，希望也能按照規定安排。』

『又因為寺廟貧困破敗，懇請朝廷能夠免除寺廟的各種雜稅，使寺廟能夠有足夠的糧食，不至於中斷報效國家和修行佛法的事務。如果皇上恩準，請下令有關部門執行。』

皇帝下旨：『依從所奏請。』

【English Translation】 English version:

The monk Fa Jing of Jianfa Temple in Mei County.

The Tripiṭaka (a Buddhist monk who is proficient in the three baskets of Buddhist scriptures, Vinaya, and Abhidhamma) monk Bukong of Daxingshan Temple memorialized: 'This temple was first built in Chang'an at the beginning of its establishment to protect the empire. The temple's halls are magnificent and spacious, completely occupying a ward. Since ancient times, the abbots of the temple have been monks of high virtue. Recently, due to the passing of elderly monks, the monastic community has declined, and the temple's dignity and rules have been abandoned. Moreover, after many years, the halls and platforms are desolate and dilapidated. Seeing these pure monastic rules, it is truly lamentable and regrettable.'

'Although there are monks who have ordained later, they are not yet familiar with the precepts. Moreover, it is a difficult time, and the blessings of Buddhism are needed. Now there are forty-nine virtuous monks, all of whom are of high moral character, proficient in scriptures and precepts, and respected by the public. They can serve as role models for the monastic community. I respectfully request that they be affiliated with this temple, and if anyone is missing, they can continue to be supplemented. In this way, everyone can work together to rectify and maintain the temple, repair the dilapidated places, and permanently offer incense, thereby praying for the emperor's blessings. As for the monks who are currently in charge of affairs in the temple, I hope that they can also be arranged according to regulations.'

'Also, because the temple is poor and dilapidated, I respectfully request that the court be able to exempt the temple from various miscellaneous taxes, so that the temple can have enough food and not interrupt the affairs of serving the country and practicing Buddhism. If the emperor approves, please order the relevant departments to implement it.'

The emperor issued an edict: 'Follow the memorialized request.'

【English Translation】 English version Head

Hoping to re-translate the old text of the 'Ren Wang Jing' (仁王經, Sutra of Humane Kings) based on the Sanskrit version.

Submitted by the Tripitaka (三藏, Sanzang) Master Shramana (沙門, Shamen) Bukong (不空, Amoghavajra) of Xingshan Temple (興善寺, Xingshan Si): I believe that the wonderful intention of the Tathagata (如來, Rulai) lies in compassion for sentient beings, and the meaning of the 'Ren Wang Bao Jing' (仁王寶經, Precious Sutra of Humane Kings) lies in advocating the protection of the country. The previous translations have not fully integrated the meaning of the doctrine. I hope to refine these subtle words and attribute them to the wise and holy. I respectfully hope that Your Majesty, the Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu (寶應元聖文武皇帝, Emperor during the Bao Ying era), will inaugurate a new era with your wisdom, adapt to the times with your intelligence, promote the True Word (真言, Zhenyan), and propagate the teachings of the Buddha's image (像教, Xiangjiao). May the imperial influence spread far and wide, and the sun of Buddhism shine again. Often holding Dharma assemblies to lecture and recite the 'Ren Wang Jing' for the people, I hope to re-translate the old text based on the Sanskrit version, so that the words on the palm-leaf manuscripts (貝葉, beiye) will never be omitted or abbreviated, and the content spoken by the golden mouth (金口, Jinkou, Buddha's words) will be more detailed and clear. Therefore, I request the monks Huaigan (懷感), Feixi (飛錫), Zifen (子翷), Jianzong (建宗), Guixing (歸性), Yisong (義嵩), Daoye (道液), Liangben (良賁), Qianzhen (潛真), Huiling (慧靈), Fachong (法崇), Chaowu (超悟), Huijing (慧靜), Yuanji (圓寂), Daolin (道林), and others to translate in the inner Daochang (道場, Bodhimanda). May this merit support the enlightened era and benefit all sentient beings. May bandits and disasters be forever quelled, and may the world be peaceful and tranquil. Passing this sutra down through countless kalpas (曠劫, kuangjie), the meaning of salvation is truly profound.

【English Translation】 English version: Imperial decree bestowed upon Du Mian, holding the titles of Special Advanced Grand Master of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, Military Commissioner of Fuzhou, Prefect of Fuzhou, Vice Censor-in-Chief, Pillar of the State, and Duke of Zheng, with a real fief of one hundred households in Xuanzhou, issued on the 19th day of the fifth month of the first year of the Bao Ying era (762 AD).

Right, memorial from Du Mian: 'Your subject has never had any meritorious service, yet has received the Emperor's great favor and been mistakenly granted honors and rewards. I wish to repay the Holy Benevolence. Now, the income from the fief households from the first year of Bao Ying to before the first year of Yong Tai, estimated at over 10,000 strings of cash, your subject requests to use for the state to create merit. Of this, the income from the first year of Bao Ying, initially received as over 2,500 strings, will be sent to the Tripitaka Master Amoghavajra (不空三藏, a master of Esoteric Buddhism) at Xing Shan Temple in the capital to assist in the translation of Buddhist scriptures. The requested fief property and money should be used to supply the Dharma assembly, providing for the translation, copying, and necessary provisions such as grain. For the remaining unreceived income, I will first send my younger brother, Du Tong, to receive it, hoping that the relevant departments will issue instructions to dispatch continued supplies for the Buddhist scriptures. If there are any untranslated Sanskrit texts, I hope they can be translated. Although the ancient texts record the meaning, they are not comprehensive. I especially hope that the Emperor will grant permission to appoint General Li Yuanzong of the New Longwu Army to be in charge, together with Tripitaka Master Amoghavajra and the virtuous Jinzhen (縉真) of Xing Shan Temple, to jointly select seven virtuous scholars from the capital's schools of righteousness to participate in the translation, each copying twenty-one copies, to be distributed to the various circuits and major temples in the capital, so that it may spread throughout the thousands of worlds and circulate for ten thousand years. May it cause those who do not submit to perish like bees and scorpions, and drive away the mad invaders, sweeping away their wolf-like hearts. I humbly pray that Your Majesty will receive boundless blessings and enjoy boundless prosperity. This is all your foolish subject's humble intention, which I wish to fulfill even in death. I especially hope that the Holy Compassion will grant my request.'

The Chancellery:

The dispatch is received by imperial order, and should be carried out according to the dispatch. By imperial order, therefore the dispatch is issued.

Dispatch of the 18th day of the sixth month of the first year of Yong Tai.

A Memorial Preface (Congratulating on the Appearance of Auspicious Clouds at a Hundred Seats)

The Tripiṭaka (Three Baskets of Buddhist scriptures) monk Amoghavajra (Bùkōng, 不空, 'Not Empty') says: Amoghavajra's path is deficient, lacking the accomplishments of previous practitioners, and his learning falls short of past sages. I have been honored to receive the imperial decree to translate the true scriptures, feeling as if treading on thin ice in spring or facing a deep valley. I humbly believe that Your Majesty has parted the sun of wisdom and spread the clouds of compassion. Your sagacious thoughts soar like the wind, and your writings are as lustrous as jade. You personally wrote the preface, illuminating the entire world. You shower the rain of Dharma upon the nine heavens and erect victorious banners at a hundred seats. The majestic ceremony resembles Śākyamuni Buddha's (Shìjiāmóunífó, 釋迦牟尼佛) assembly on Vulture Peak (鷲峰). The scholars and commoners gather densely, like the Persians visiting Rājagṛha (王舍城). Auspicious clouds appear, and propitious air fills the sky, signifying great peace and boundless blessings. Overwhelmed with gratitude, I respectfully submit this memorial to express my congratulations. The śrāmaṇa (沙門) Amoghavajra speaks with sincere fear and joy.

Second day of the ninth month, Yongtai (永泰) first year.

The Tripiṭaka śrāmaṇa Amoghavajra of Xingshan Temple (興善寺) submits this memorial.

Imperial endorsement by the Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying (寶應) era:

Your Holiness has personally brought the palm-leaf manuscripts from the distant lotus realm, expounding the profound teachings to benefit all living beings. With the translation completed, heaven and humanity are in harmony, like the clear autumn sky revealing auspicious five-colored clouds. The propagation of the true vehicle (真乘) accords with the subtle truth. Having received your guidance and teachings, a teacher-student relationship was established long ago. Witnessing this auspicious response, I am filled with deep reverence.

Bestowing the Title of Kaifu (開府) and Honorific Title to Vajra Tripiṭaka (金剛三藏)

Imperial Edict:

By imperial decree to the Tripiṭaka monk Amoghavajra: The late Vajra Tripiṭaka (Amoghavajra) possessed exceptional talent and a harmonious disposition. He understood the four forms of existence (四生) and embraced the six perfections (六度). Coming from the Western Regions, he arrived with his staff in the East, dedicating himself to benefiting beings with pure conduct and compassion. The flower of enlightenment shone outward, and the torch of wisdom illuminated inward, guiding deluded beings to attain perfect tranquility. He secretly transmitted the Dharma seal and subtly revealed Nirvana. Though his robes and bowl remain, his voice and countenance are gone forever. His teachings will be passed down to future generations, and according to ritual, he should be honored posthumously. His beautiful name should be recognized, befitting his glory. He is posthumously granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi (開府儀同三司), and the honorific title of Great Propagator of Teachings Tripiṭaka (大弘教三藏).

First day of the eleventh month, Yongtai first year.

A memorial thanking the posthumous conferment of official titles to the deceased Vajra Tripitaka. The Shramana Bukong of the Tripitaka respectfully states: Upon receiving the imperial decree of the first day of this month, the late Great Master Vajra Tripitaka may be posthumously granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi (開府儀同三司, a high-ranking official title), and the posthumous title of Great弘教Tripitaka (Dahongjiao Sanzang, Great Propagator of Teachings Tripitaka) be conferred. Bukong is promoted to the position of Tejin Shi Hongluqing (特進試鴻臚卿, Special Advancement Acting Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies), and the title of Great 廣智Tripitaka (Daguangzhi Sanzang, Great Wisdom Tripitaka) be bestowed. The imperial grace is vast, like rain and dew descending from the heavens, nourishing the roots and leaves of all things. The perfect radiance illuminates the dark places. Holding the imperial decree, I am filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy. Bukong is sincerely fearful and joyful, both saddened and apprehensive. Bukong has heard that the 'Ten Titles' (如來十號, Tathagata's Ten Titles, referring to the ten epithets of the Buddha) are distinguished appellations that manifest virtue, and the 'Nine Ministers' (九卿, Jiuqing, the nine important officials in the ancient court) symbolize the important positions of the court. Therefore, the late Great Master Vajra Tripitaka, whose path is in accordance with the transmission of the lamp, is worthy of having his posthumous virtues manifested. Bukong's talent is shallow, and it is difficult to inherit the legacy of the late teacher, yet I have received the imperial favor, like a Yan stone mixed among jade, like playing the yu in a shamble. The honor extends to both the living and the dead, and the grace extends to both teacher and disciple. We respectfully accept the imperial grace, and upon beholding the imperial decree, we feel deeply ashamed. Moreover, those who have left home should have forgotten honor and disgrace, and only repay the country with a pure heart. The monks...

【English Translation】 English version 'Foguang Temple, Yuhua Temple, and the four temples have already been completed. Only the Jinge Temple remains unfinished. Since it is a sacred site, who would not desire to behold it? Amoghavajra (不空, a prominent Tantric monk) is willing to donate his robes and alms bowl, joyfully assisting in the establishment of this grand undertaking. I often worry that time is running out, and I will fail to fulfill my long-held wish. Therefore, I have repeatedly petitioned the court, and I am grateful for the Emperor's gracious approval. The sacred site of Manjushri (文殊菩薩) is led by the sages. Who but Your Majesty can be competent to construct the Jinge Temple? Beams and pillars are what great buildings rely on, and trusted officials are what the sovereign depends on. Together, we can achieve unity and harmonize all nations. The construction of the Jinge Temple, if it is not supported by the chancellors, assisted by military officials, continued by hundreds of officials, and jointly revered by thousands of officials, how can we demonstrate the beauty of the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, and glorify the greatness of the Jinge Temple? The virtuous monk Hanguang (含光) of Baoshou Temple (保壽寺), upon returning from his mission, respectfully cultivates merit. I humbly request that the imperial decree be proclaimed at the site of the temple construction, praying with utmost sincerity. May the spirits illuminate us, bringing auspicious blessings, peace and prosperity to the world, and protecting Your Majesty's health. If Your Majesty grants permission, please forward this memorial to the relevant departments.'

A memorial from Zhou Zhiguang congratulating on the pacification. Amoghavajra (不空): I, Zhou Zhiguang, dared to defy the imperial decree and brought destruction upon myself. His accumulated evils led to his demise, and his head was publicly displayed, a well-known outcome. The people of the realm rejoice, as if basking in the warm spring sunshine. This is all thanks to Your Majesty's divine calculations and profound strategies. Before the soldiers could even display their bravery, the people had already gained peace. The entire country has become clear and stable, and the barbarians in all directions have lost their ambitions. From this, it can be seen that the wise king, through his own power, achieved the merit of no war, and the benevolent king ultimately gained the support of all living beings.

Riding clouds and driving elephants, its grandeur overwhelms the pillars and beams, and the hall is filled with light, no different from the Golden Pavilion Temple. On the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of last year, I received the imperial grace, bestowed incense, and proclaimed the oral decree, ordering Bukong to select virtuous monks skilled in recitation, and ordering the abbot Zhizang to be specifically responsible for the inspection and management of the Dharma assembly. The aforementioned virtuous monks, some are proficient in esoteric mantras and well-versed in precepts, while others excel in expounding the wonderful Dharma and reciting the true vehicle scriptures. I hope to draw them here to meticulously establish a Dharma assembly during the three long fasting months each year to recite prayers for the nation. If there are any absences due to special circumstances, replacements can be added at any time. All donations and merits inside and outside the hall should be specially recorded by the three networks (referring to the administrative organization of the Sangha), and nothing should be omitted.

Having first received the imperial order to have Hanguang inspect and supervise the construction of the aforementioned temples and common offering places, the necessary timber is available on the mountain itself. As this is a sacred site, skilled craftsmen are required. The aforementioned craftsmen are all highly regarded from near and far. Now that they are on the mountain constructing in sequence, it is feared that the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction may summon them away.

The sacred site of Manjusri has been revered since ancient times. Now, Your Majesty has specially increased the construction of magnificent monasteries, with imperial orders frequently issued. This will surely be blessed by all the gods and bring all the saints to return. The construction and prosperity of the sacred site will reach its peak here. Since the place is solemn and pure, the people should be as well. Since the difficult times, the number of monks has gradually decreased. Some travel and transform others, then reside among the people. Others live in aranyas according to circumstances, dwelling in other places. This has led to the gradual decline of chanting and ceremonies in the temples, and the spider webs darken the meditation huts under the trees. The field of merit has not been widely cultivated, which is a shame to Your Majesty's heart. I humbly beg Your Majesty's grace to first ordain two sevens (fourteen) people from each temple, selecting from the long-term diligent practitioners and children in the mountains. Also...

【English Translation】 English version From various prefectures, select seven monks with virtuous conduct. Each temple should collectively gather twenty-one monks to practice and pray for the country. If there are vacancies, replenish them promptly. The Jingesi Temple (Jingesi Temple) and other five temples regularly recite the 'Renwang Huguo Jing' (Rén Wáng Hù Guó Jīng, Sūtra of Benevolent Kings Protecting the Country) and the 'Miyan Jing' (Mì Yán Jīng, Ghanavyūha Sūtra). Furthermore, the name of the Wumozisi Temple (Wú Mó Zǐ Sì) is not suitable; it is hoped that it can be changed to the 'Dali Fahua Temple' (Dà Lì Fǎ Huā zhī Sì), and the 'Fahua Jing' (Fǎ Huā Jīng, Lotus Sūtra) should be recited regularly for the country. Like the five temples including Jingesi Temple, they are exempt from corvée labor, and those who are ordained there are also exempt from corvée labor. It is hoped that General Zong Fengchao (Zōng Fèng Cháo) of Yunjing and the eunuch Wei Mingxiu (Wèi Míng Xiù), as well as the meritorious śrāmaṇa Hanguang (Hán Guāng), will be appointed to jointly select, in order to avoid any fraudulent practices.

Zhongshu Menxia (Central Secretariat) Edict to Da Guangzhi Bugong

Edict received. Imperial order: It is appropriate to follow the edict. Imperial order approved. Therefore, this edict.

Edict dated June 13th, the third year of the Dali era.

Prime Minister Yuan Jia

Du Wang of Menxia (Department of State Affairs) also.

A memorial thanking the Imperial inscription for the pagoda plaque of the late teacher and for setting up a vegetarian feast (with reply)

Shramana Bugong says: Bugong served the late Great Master early on and received his teachings. I am ashamed that I do not have the wisdom to ascend to the hall, but I am fortunate to have the opportunity to enter the room. The Mandala (曼茶羅) initiation altar is the origin of all practices and the master of secret realization. To ascend to the path of enlightenment, who does not go through it? Initially, it was the late teacher who transmitted it, opening the ears and eyes of this land. The light of wisdom has been extinguished, and the sun and moon are about to set. His Majesty thinks of continuing the light and does not dislike my shortcomings.

【English Translation】 English version Edict

Edict issued on the 17th day of the sixth month of the fourth year of the Dali era

Yuan Zai, Vice Director of the Chancellery and concurrently holding the title of 'Person in Charge of Affairs of the Central Secretariat', and the other five are the same as above.

An edict is issued to place Manjusri (Manjusri Bodhisattva) as the senior seat in the dining halls of all temples throughout the realm.

The Great Sage Manjusri Bodhisattva.

The virtuous monk Bu Kong (Amoghavajra) of Da Xingshan Temple, Great Virtue of the Right Capital, Special Advanced Official, Acting Director of the Court of State Ceremonial, and Tripitaka Master, etc., submit this memorial: We humbly dwell within the monastic order, have long cultivated Brahma conduct, studied and translated the sacred scriptures, and have gained some understanding of the profound gate. The Great Sage Manjusri Bodhisattva, the Great Vehicle and Esoteric teachings are all widely propagated. Now he is enshrined on Mount Wutai, increasing the blessings for the multitudes. We respectfully think of His Majesty, the Emperor of Baoying Yuansheng Wenwu, whose virtue matches Heaven and Earth, and whose brightness rivals the sun and moon, whose boundless blessings bring peace to our people. We humbly request that from now on, in the dining halls of all temples throughout the realm, a statue of Manjusri (Manjusri Bodhisattva) be specially placed above the seat of Pindola (Pindola) as the senior seat. Consulting the various sacred scriptures, there are clear records. Even the Samgha (Samgha) Tathagata still follows the instructions. All who have left home should naturally arrange their robes respectfully. Samantabhadra (Samantabhadra) and Avalokitesvara (Avalokitesvara) still hold whisks as attendants, while Sravakas (Sravaka) and Pratyekabuddhas (Pratyekabuddha) hold brooms behind them. This is the case in all of India (India), not just our monks' shallow view. We still request that this be a permanent rule.

The Chancellery and Department of State Affairs issue an edict to the Ministry of Rites.

Edict received: The Great Sage Manjusri Bodhisattva is the son of the Dharma King, whose majestic virtue is especially honored and is the guide of all Buddhas, washing away the defilements from the minds and eyes of sentient beings, bringing peace to our people, and saving boundless beings. If he is not revered, how can people look up to him? Now the virtuous monks of the capital earnestly submit this memorial, which is in complete accordance with the sacred scriptures. The request should be followed. Upon arrival of the edict, comply accordingly.

Edict issued as before.

December 19th, fourth year of the Dali era

The Chancellery, the other four are the same as above.

On the fifth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of the Dali era, an edict was issued to establish a ten-thousand-person vegetarian feast with the Tripitaka Master Bu Kong (Amoghavajra) in Taiyuan.

The Chancellery and Department of State Affairs issue an edict to the monk Bu Kong (Amoghavajra): Edict received: A ten-thousand-person vegetarian feast should be established in Taiyuan. Take various official funds and goods from Taiyuan Prefecture, and provide them according to the amount, without any shortage. Furthermore, let the Tripitaka Master Bu Kong (Amoghavajra) inspect and supervise. Upon arrival of the edict, comply accordingly. Edict issued as before.

【English Translation】 English version: I was first ordered to go to Mount Wutai, to cultivate merit and virtue to Taiyuan, and to visit all the temples there. Because of this, I was able to behold the sacred sites of the uprising of Emperor Gaozu (Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty) and Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty), which are located in this temple. This is indeed the source of the rise of the imperial enterprise of the nation, so it should not be treated the same as other temples. I humbly beg for Your Majesty's compassion to exempt this temple from all corvée labor and land taxes, so that the money saved can be used to benefit the temple.

On the anniversary of the deaths of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, and the other seven deceased emperors, set up vegetarian meals, hold incense-offering ceremonies, and build a Hall of Edicts to enshrine the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. Also, during the three long months of fasting each year, on the ten fasting days of each month, order all the monks of the temple to recite the Benevolent Kings Sutra for the Protection of the Nation for these seven emperors, from Emperor Gaozu to Emperor Suzong (Li Heng, the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty), hoping to obtain boundless blessings to forever assist the seven emperors, and that the endless sound of the Dharma will reach the heavens and protect the Emperor's longevity. For the monks who recite the scriptures, I humbly beg that they be carefully selected, and that their names be reported, and that secular guests be stopped first, and that they be sent away immediately.

Chancery and Secretariat: Document for the Tripiṭaka śrāmaṇa (Buddhist monk) Daguangzhi Bukong (Amoghavajra)

The document is presented with the imperial decree, which should be handled in accordance with the document. In accordance with the imperial decree, this document is issued.

Document dated the first day of the tenth month of the fifth year of the Dali era (770 AD)

Vice President of the Chancellery holding concurrent post as Chancellor, Yuan Zai

Grand Minister of Instruction concurrently holding the title of Chancellor, at the Envoy's Office

Memorial Requesting Dharma Master Huilin to Lecture at Baoshou Temple

Śrāmaṇa (Buddhist monk) Amoghavajra reports. Amoghavajra has heard that translating the palm-leaf scriptures is to promote the teachings of Śākyamuni, and praising with lotus verses is to entrust the Heavenly Kings. I respectfully hope that Your Majesty's position is as noble as a Chakravartin (Wheel-Turning King), and your mind is as lofty as a precious verse. Your filial piety moves heaven and earth, and your civilization is comparable to the sun and moon. I have seen that the monk Huilin of Zhangjing Temple has been intelligent and insightful since childhood, and is determined to spread the Dharma. He expounds the Mahayana Dharma to repay the Emperor's kindness. He often recites the wonderful Dharma, and the places that can proclaim the Dharma are especially fortunate to be blessed by the Emperor's grace. Amoghavajra is now ordered to request Dharma Master Huilin to expound the true scriptures for the monks and laypeople at Baoshou Temple for the sake of the nation, hoping that the sacred enterprise of the ancestral temple and the Emperor's blessings can last for a long time, and that the field of merit of the people in the year of fasting can be as tall and long-lived as Mount Sumeru. If Your Majesty approves, please issue an imperial rescript.

Imperial Rescript: Approved as requested.

Second day of the second month of the sixth year of the Dali era (771 AD)

【English Translation】 English version Memorial presented by Tripitaka Master Daguangzhi Bukong (Sanzang Shamen Daguangzhi Bukong, an honorific title for a Buddhist monk):

Memorial of Gratitude for the Grant of Alms, Precepts, Provisions, and Grain to Daxingshan Temple

The Shamen Bukong (Shamen Bukong, referring to Bukong himself) reports: The Imperial Envoy Li Xiancheng (Zhongshi Li Xiancheng, the name of a court envoy) has conveyed the Imperial Decree, specially granting Daxingshan Temple alms, precepts, provisions, and items such as glutinous rice, millet, oil, and firewood, all fully provided, for the purpose of offering meals. Receiving the decree, I am filled with shame, trepidation, joy, and fear. Furthermore, permission has been granted to hold ceremonies at this temple, which is an extreme favor. Additional offerings have been bestowed upon the monks, a truly profound imperial grace. I am ashamed that I have no means to repay this kindness, and can only diligently exert myself day and night in reciting scriptures, hoping to repay even a fraction. I respectfully lead the monks seeking ordination in sincere recitation and diligent practice for three seven-day periods (twenty-one days), praying for the country and cultivating supreme blessings. I hope that this boundless merit will benefit the sacred body (the Emperor's health). I am overwhelmed with shame and gratitude. I respectfully submit this memorial through the Imperial Envoy Li Xiancheng to express my gratitude. The Shamen Bukong speaks with sincere joy and fear.

Presented on the 28th day of the third month of the sixth year of the Dali era by Daguangzhi Bukong, the Tripitaka Master of Daxingshan Temple, holding the honorary title of Special Advance and Acting Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial.

Emperor Yuan Sheng Wenwu of the Baoying era replied:

The Tripitaka Master (Sanzang, an honorific title for monks proficient in Buddhist scriptures) is compassionate and sincere, deeply concerned for the country, promoting and cultivating blessings, and widely benefiting all living beings. He has established altars, expounded the wonderful Dharma, enlightened later learners, and cultivated good karma. The bestowed grace is extraordinary; why should there be a need for thanks?

Edict from the Department of State Affairs

Request for Tripitaka Master Guangzhi (Guangzhi Sanzang, referring to Bukong himself) to ascend the altar and announce the edict to the Ministry of Rites (Edict from the Department of State Affairs approved accordingly)

Daxingshan Temple Tripitaka Master Daguangzhi Bukong

Huiche (Baoshousi Lintan Dade Huiche, the name of a monk), the eminent monk presiding over the altar at Baoshou Temple, and others report: We believe that the Tripitaka Master and National Preceptor (Sanzang Guoshi, an honorific title for Bukong) is the bulwark of Buddhism, revered by all within the four seas, and the lineage of the two capitals. The pure ordination platform relies on his virtuous conduct. We humbly request him to ascend the altar, uphold the Dharma, and bestow precepts upon the assembly.

The Department of State Affairs issues an edict to the Ministry of Rites, and the edict to the Tripitaka Master is approved accordingly.

The edict is received and the imperial order should be followed. The edict is issued accordingly.

Edict issued on the 3rd day of the fourth month of the sixth year of the Dali era.

Yuanzai (Zhongshu Shilang Pingzhangshi Yuanzai, the name of an official), Vice President of the Department of State Affairs and Co-signer of Government Affairs.

Wang (Menxia Shilang Pingzhangshi Wang, the name of an official), Vice President of the Department of State Affairs and Co-signer of Government Affairs.

Memorial of Thanks for the Gift of Milk Cows

The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Amoghavajra (Bukong) says: 'Today, I especially receive the gracious command, bestowing five milk cows, each with its calf. This gift comes from Heaven, causing me to tremble and prostrate myself.' Amoghavajra is truly ashamed and grateful, filled with joy and humility. I humbly observe that Your Majesty, the Bao Ying Yuansheng Wenwu Emperor, shines like the sun and moon, and your grace exceeds rain and dew. Even if I were diligent throughout the four seasons, I could not repay one ten-thousandth of your kindness. Exhausting my strength and loyalty, it is truly difficult to express my gratitude. Examining my heart and cultivating myself, I am filled with shame. I am overwhelmed by your profound and generous favor. I respectfully submit this memorial to express my thanks and report to you. The Shramana Amoghavajra speaks with sincerity and trepidation.

Submitted on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of the sixth year of the Dali era by Amoghavajra (Bukong), Special Advanced Grand Master of the Honglu Temple and Tripitaka Master of the Great Xingshan Temple.

Imperial endorsement by the Bao Ying Yuansheng Wenwu Emperor:

'The Upadhyaya (teacher) has deeply penetrated the secret teachings, protecting and cherishing them with diligence and sincerity. Considering his refined cultivation, he should receive this gracious command. The gift is not substantial, yet he troubles himself to express his gratitude.'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：《尼經》一卷，《大虛空藏菩薩所問經》八卷，《仁王經》二卷，《密嚴經》三卷，《仁王唸誦儀軌》一卷，《仁王經疏》三卷。

沙門不空自述：不空自幼年起侍奉先師大弘教三藏和尚二十四年，稟受瑜伽法門。后遊歷各地尋求未曾受過的法門以及各種經論，重新學習。總共獲得梵文瑜伽真言經論五百餘部。奉旨為國家詳細翻譯聖言，廣增福祐。天寶五年回到上都（指唐朝都城長安）。奉玄宗皇帝恩命，在宮內建立道場。所攜帶的梵文經典全部允許翻譯。肅宗皇帝繼承皇位后，又奉綸旨，在宮內道場建立護摩（Homa，一種火供儀式）以及灌頂法（Abhiṣeka，一種密宗儀式）。又為國家翻譯經典，宣揚皇化。多次奉二位聖上恩敕，將先代三藏所有的梵文經典全部搜尋，其中有絳索脫落的便令修補，其中有未經翻譯的繼續翻譯並奏聞。我恭敬地希望陛下繼承皇運，庇護眾生，廣開福田，重現光明。恩澤遠播，法雨分流，四海歸心，萬方欣悅。由此可知佛的囑託確實在聖君身上。不空我叨承皇恩，榮幸至深，常常思索如何報效國家。奉先皇聖旨，闡揚精妙的佛法，又奉陛下恩命，恭敬地遵從先皇遺旨，再次進行翻譯以利益眾生。即使四季精勤，也難以報答萬一。因此我日夜詳細翻譯真言以及大乘經典，希望盡微薄之力，上助皇道。其中所翻譯的《金剛頂瑜伽法門》是迅速成佛的道路，修行者必定能夠立刻超越凡境，到達彼岸。其餘的真言是諸佛的方便法門，種類繁多。所翻譯的各大乘經典，都是爲了上助國家，息滅災厄，使星辰執行不發生偏差，風調雨順。仰仗佛力來輔助國家。我謹將從開元（唐玄宗年號）至今大曆六年（唐代宗年號）前後所翻譯完畢的經典彙集起來。

【English Translation】 English version: 《Nī Sūtra》one fascicle, 《Mahā-ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva Questions Sūtra》 eight fascicles, 《Benevolent Kings Sūtra》 two fascicles, 《Dense Array Sūtra》 three fascicles, 《Benevolent Kings Recitation Ritual》 one fascicle, 《Commentary on the Benevolent Kings Sūtra》 three fascicles.

The śrāmaṇa (Buddhist monk) Amoghavajra said: 'From a young age, Amoghavajra served his late teacher, the Tripiṭaka master Da Hongjiao, for twenty-four years, receiving the Yoga Dharma. Later, he traveled to various places seeking teachings he had not yet received, as well as various scriptures and treatises, and studied them again. In total, he obtained over five hundred Sanskrit Yoga mantra scriptures and treatises. He was ordered to translate the sacred words in detail for the country, to increase blessings and prosperity. In the fifth year of Tianbao (era name of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty), he returned to the capital (referring to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty). By the grace of Emperor Xuanzong, he established a maṇḍala (sacred space) within the palace. All the Sanskrit scriptures he brought were permitted to be translated. After Emperor Suzong succeeded to the throne, he was again ordered to establish Homa (a fire ritual) and Abhiṣeka (an esoteric initiation) in the palace maṇḍala. He also translated scriptures for the country, propagating the imperial transformation. He repeatedly received imperial orders from the two emperors to search for all the Sanskrit scriptures of the previous Tripiṭaka masters, and if any cords were loose, he would have them repaired. Those that had not been translated would continue to be translated and reported to the emperor. I respectfully hope that Your Majesty will inherit the imperial destiny, protect all beings, widely open fields of merit, and restore brightness. Grace spreads far and wide, the rain of Dharma flows, the four seas return to the heart, and all directions rejoice. From this, it can be known that the Buddha's entrustment is indeed on the holy ruler. I, Amoghavajra, am deeply honored to receive imperial grace, and often think about how to repay the country. I follow the late emperor's decree to elucidate the subtle Dharma, and also follow Your Majesty's order to respectfully follow the late emperor's will, and translate again to benefit all beings. Even if I am diligent in all seasons, it is difficult to repay even a fraction. Therefore, I translate mantras and Mahāyāna scriptures in detail day and night, hoping to contribute a small amount of effort to assist the imperial way. Among them, the translated 《Vajraśekhara Yoga》 is the path to rapid Buddhahood, and practitioners will surely be able to immediately transcend the ordinary realm and reach the other shore. The remaining mantras are the expedient methods of the Buddhas, and there are many kinds. The translated major Mahāyāna scriptures are all to assist the country, extinguish disasters, prevent the stars from deviating, and ensure favorable weather. Relying on the power of the Buddha to assist the country. I respectfully compile the scriptures that have been translated before and after, from the Kaiyuan (era name of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty) era to the sixth year of the Dali (era name of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty) era.'

【English Translation】 English version: A total of one hundred and one fascicles, seventy-seven scriptures, along with one fascicle of the catalog. And the transcription by monks and laypeople has been completed. I respectfully present them on the occasion of the Descent (Buddha's Birthday). I hope to receive the blessings of the True Words (mantras) to protect the sacred body (the Emperor's body) for a long time. May the power of Mahayana Buddhism forever secure the borders of the country. Among the untranslated Sanskrit scriptures, those that can protect the country and benefit the people will be continuously translated and reported. With utmost sincerity, I respectfully submit this memorial to inform you. The Shramana (monk) Bukong (Amoghavajra) reports with utmost trepidation and reverence.

October 12th, the sixth year of the Dali era

The Specially Advanced Grand Master of the Honglu Temple, the Tripitaka Master Shramana Daguangzhi Bukong (Amoghavajra) submits this memorial.

Imperial Edict of Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying Era:

The Venerable One (a respectful term for monks) has long served the late Emperor, propagating and elucidating the profound teachings of Buddhism. Translating the palm-leaf scriptures, widely guiding sentient beings out of delusion. I inherit the great undertaking of the late Emperor, respectfully following his wise intentions. The Venerable One has again translated in detail, so that the volumes can be continuously completed, eternally saving sentient beings. This is truly commendable and praiseworthy. The scriptures translated should be promulgated both inside and outside the court and included in the Catalog of All Scriptures.

A Memorial Thanking the Emperor for Permitting the Newly Translated Sutras and Treatises to be Included in the Catalog and Circulated

The Shramana Bukong (Amoghavajra) reports. The Imperial Envoy Li Xiancheng conveyed the Imperial Edict, sending a Catalog of Newly Translated Scriptures, and an Imperial Edict in response to the Memorial of Offering Scriptures, specially ordering its implementation both inside and outside the court, and including it in the Catalog of All Scriptures. Holding the Imperial Edict, I am overjoyed and grateful beyond measure, both trembling with fear and filled with gratitude. Again, I sigh with admiration and feel ashamed. I respectfully think that Your Majesty has inherited the entrustment of the Dharma King (Buddha), fulfilled the wishes of the people's hearts, holds the secret seal of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and practices the righteous teachings of the Son of Heaven (Emperor). On auspicious days, the light of grace shines in all directions, and in an instant, vast blessings are bestowed upon all things. This is truly the great fortune of all the people in the world, let alone Bukong (Amoghavajra). The sacred texts translated by Bukong (Amoghavajra) over the past forty years, since the time of three Emperors, have been supported and repaired with merit, with the aim of propagating the Dharma, assisting the Imperial Family above, and benefiting sentient beings below. Unexpectedly, the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled in one day. The Emperor's grace is vast and difficult to repay even in countless kalpas. Moreover, special permission has been granted to translate those Sanskrit originals that have not yet been translated, which has greatly increased my joy and sorrow. I will do my utmost to uphold the Imperial Edict, continue to translate and offer scriptures. With utmost joy, reverence, and gratitude, I respectfully submit this memorial through the Imperial Envoy Li Xiancheng. Bukong (Amoghavajra) reports with utmost trepidation.

The 27th day of the first month of the seventh year of the Dali era (772 AD)

The specially advanced Grand Master of the Three Canons, Amoghavajra (meaning 'Unfailing Vajra', a prominent esoteric Buddhist monk and translator), Assistant Secretary of the Court of State Ceremonial, submits this memorial.

Imperial Edict of the Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying Era:

The venerable monk (referring to Amoghavajra) has long since attained Bodhi and entered the Buddha's knowledge and vision. The scriptures he has translated are all profoundly insightful. He has been ordered to implement and widely spread his benevolent influence, illuminating the world and bestowing blessings upon all beings. Before the ship of compassion has been fully promoted, you have troubled yourself to express your gratitude in such detail.

Imperial Decree Granting the Name 'Fotang Temple' to the Temple in Xiyuanfang, Xihe County, Fenzhou – One Decree

The ancient Fotang Temple in Xiyuanfang, Xihe County, Fenzhou.

The Right Honorable Amoghavajra, Grand Master of the Three Canons, Assistant Secretary of the Court of State Ceremonial, reports: The aforementioned Fotang Temple was jointly initiated and renovated by the people of the Sheyi community in Xihe County during the Zhide era, with the vow that evil would be eradicated and the nation restored. I believe that we should emulate the filial piety and influence of the former sages, taking its meaning as the name of the community, without troubling the government or privately seeking anything. The people of the community each contributed their family wealth to jointly accomplish this. Since then, the renovation has never ceased. The year before last, I received the Emperor's grace and went to Mount Wutai to cultivate merit. On my return, I arrived at this Fotang Temple and inquired into the origins, learning the details of the truth. The halls and courtyards are nearing completion. I especially hope that the Emperor will bestow a temple name.

The Department of State Affairs issues a document to Amoghavajra:

The document conveys the Emperor's decree that the name 'Fajin Temple' should be granted. The document arrives, in accordance with the Emperor's decree, therefore this document is issued.

The fourth day of the third month of the seventh year of the Dali era.

Yuan Zai, Vice President of the Department of State Affairs and Co-Minister of State Affairs

Wang Jin, Vice President of the Department of State Affairs and Co-Minister of State Affairs

Li Shi, Minister of the Ministry of War and Co-Minister of State Affairs

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Co-Minister of State Affairs

Memorial of Gratitude for the Imperial Order to Pray for Rain – One Memorial

The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Amoghavajra says: The envoy Jiang Tinggui has arrived, conveying the Emperor's holy decree. Due to the prolonged drought, I am ordered to pray for rain, with a limit of seven days to obtain it. Amoghavajra has heard that the one whose words are sure to be fulfilled is the sovereign, and the one whose commands must be obeyed is the subject. I humbly believe that Your Majesty, with your clear vision and sharp hearing, is deeply concerned about agriculture. You are truly the most enlightened of rulers. Since I have received the decree of the Son of Heaven.

恭敬地修設嚴整的道場，沒有誰不竭盡全力、齊心協力，使得陛下天生就遵循諸佛的遺教。我微薄的誠意懇切到了極點，至誠之心感動了神靈，無需燕舞的徵兆，就已經降下了普天甘霖。下順應百姓的期望，上符合皇上的聖意，大家高興得手舞足蹈，無法抑制內心的喜悅。謹呈上表章，陳述慶賀之事，以稟告皇上。沙門不空誠惶誠恐，謹言。 大曆七年六月一日，特進試鴻臚卿、大興善寺三藏沙門大廣智不空敬上表。 寶應元聖文武皇帝批示： 和上（指不空，梵語Upādhyāya的音譯，意為親教師）的妙行圓滿光明，大慈大悲，弘揚濟世。深謀遠慮，心繫國家，仁愛普及眾生。精心潔凈壇場，至誠祈求甘露降臨。晝夜勤懇地祈請真聖降臨照耀。不到十天，就成功地迎來了甘霖。莊稼因此茂盛生長，豐收之年指日可待。我考慮到自己德行淺薄，內心感到慚愧和自勉。 關於東都先師塔院及石戒壇院，請選拔大德高僧一事： 東都薦福寺大弘教三藏和上塔院，請從各寺選拔德行高尚的大德七人。 右邊所說的不空先師在世時，特別蒙受玄宗皇帝恩準設立上述塔院。時間長久，廟宇崩塌損壞，香火供奉缺乏，無人打掃。現在請從各寺選拔大德七人來住持此院，六時懺悔唸誦，為國家修習三密瑜伽（身語意三密的相應），繼承先師的舊業。 同寺的一切有部古石戒壇院，請從各寺選拔德行高尚的律師七人，每年為僧人設立戒壇。 右邊所說的戒壇院是不空和上在世時，捨棄衣缽興建的。在不空受具足戒的那天，也有誠摯的願望，允許一同修繕。不空我承蒙皇上的恩澤，希望玉鏡能夠重放光明，看到大師的舊有規模，期望法輪能夠再次轉動。現在請設定一切有部戒壇院的匾額，並選拔德行高尚的大德七人，四季為僧人宣講戒律，六時奉為國家修行三密法門。 以前的特進試鴻臚卿、大興善寺三藏

【English Translation】 English version:

Respectfully arranging solemn Dharma assemblies, everyone exerts their utmost effort and unites their hearts, enabling His Majesty to naturally follow the teachings left by all Buddhas. My humble sincerity reaches its peak, and my utmost sincerity moves the spirits. Without the omen of swallows dancing, the universal rain has already descended. Below, it accords with the people's expectations; above, it meets the Holy Heart of the Emperor. Everyone is so happy that they dance with their hands and feet, unable to contain their joy. I respectfully present this memorial to report the congratulations to His Majesty. The śrāmaṇa (沙門, Buddhist monk) Bukong (不空, Amoghavajra) is sincerely joyful and respectfully submits this. On the first day of the sixth month of the seventh year of the Dali era, the Specially Advanced Grand Master of Court Ceremonials, the Tripitaka Master of Daxingshan Temple, the Greatly Wise Bukong, respectfully submits this memorial. Imperial Edict of Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Baoying Era: The Upādhyāya's (和上, preceptor) wondrous conduct is complete and bright, with great compassion and universal salvation. He has profound foresight, cares deeply for the country, and his benevolence extends to all living beings. He meticulously purifies the altar and sincerely prays for the descent of sweet dew. Day and night, he diligently invites the true saints to descend and illuminate. In less than ten days, he successfully brought about the timely rain. The crops are therefore growing luxuriantly, and a bountiful year is within sight. Considering my own meager virtue, I feel ashamed and encourage myself. Regarding the matter of the Eastern Capital's Former Teacher's Pagoda Courtyard and Stone Ordination Platform Courtyard, please select virtuous monks: For the Pagoda Courtyard of the Greatly Propagating Teaching Tripitaka Master Upādhyāya of Jianfu Temple in the Eastern Capital, please select seven virtuous monks with renowned conduct from various temples. The aforementioned Former Teacher Bukong, during his lifetime, was specially granted permission by Emperor Xuanzong to establish the above-mentioned Pagoda Courtyard. Over time, the temple buildings have collapsed and deteriorated, the incense offerings are lacking, and no one sweeps or cleans. Now, please select seven virtuous monks from various temples to reside in this courtyard, performing repentance and recitation six times a day, cultivating the Three Mysteries Yoga (三密瑜伽, the yoga of body, speech, and mind) for the benefit of the nation, and continuing the former teacher's legacy. For the Ancient Stone Ordination Platform Courtyard of the Sarvāstivāda (一切有部) school in the same temple, please select seven Vinaya Masters (律師) with renowned conduct from various temples, to establish an ordination platform for monks every year. The aforementioned Ordination Platform Courtyard was built by Upādhyāya Bukong during his lifetime, who gave up his robes and alms bowl to establish it. On the day Bukong received full ordination, he also had a sincere wish to allow for joint repairs. I, Bukong, am deeply grateful for the Emperor's grace, hoping that the jade mirror can shine brightly again, to see the former scale of the great master, and hoping that the Dharma wheel can turn again. Now, please establish the plaque for the Sarvāstivāda school's Ordination Platform Courtyard, and select seven virtuous monks to expound the precepts to the monks in all seasons, and cultivate the Three Mysteries Dharma for the benefit of the nation six times a day. The former Specially Advanced Grand Master of Court Ceremonials, the Tripitaka Master of Daxingshan Temple

Request to Establish a Temple for Sutra Lectures in Each of the Eastern and Western Districts of the Capital City – A Decree

Newly Translated Ākāśagarbha Sūtra (The Venerable Yuan Ying of Zhangjing Temple requests to lecture at Baoshou Temple; the Venerable Dao Ye of Zisheng Temple requests to lecture at Ximing Temple).

The Right Special Advance, Acting Director of the Court of State Ceremonial, Tripiṭaka Śramaṇa (Buddhist monk) Da Guangzhi Bukong of Daxingshan Temple reports: The aforementioned scripture was promulgated by imperial decree, but has not yet been expounded. If it is not praised, the merit of the Holy One cannot be manifested. The aforementioned two Venerables have already composed commentaries. Please select one temple in each of the eastern and western districts to regularly lecture on this scripture, hoping that the blessings of the Dharma will flow like a river, thereby increasing the longevity of the Holy One.

The Department of State Affairs issues a Directive to Da Guangzhi Bukong:

The directive is issued in accordance with the imperial edict and should be implemented accordingly. As per the imperial edict, this directive is issued.

Eighth Day of the First Month of the Eighth Year of the Dali Era Directive

Vice President of the Department of State Affairs Yuan Zai Vice President of the Department of State Affairs Wang Jin Minister of War Li Shi Grand Tutor and concurrently Chancellor of the Department of State Affairs Shi

On the Fifteenth Day of the Second Month, an imperial edict was issued to commence the construction of the Pavilion for the Great Sage Mañjuśrī, Protector of the Nation, in the Sutra Translation Courtyard of Daxingshan Temple. The Venerable Monk Xiuyan is appointed as the Construction Commissioner, and Śramaṇa (Buddhist monk) Huisheng is jointly responsible for inspection and verification. Śramaṇa (Buddhist monk) Bukong says: Having received the gracious imperial decree to translate this scripture, with the protection of the heavens, the scripture rolls have been successfully completed. The names, dates, and locations of the monks and laypeople who participated in the verification and transcription are listed in detail at the end of the scripture. It was presented on the Dragon Boat Festival last month. The Holy One graciously granted permission for its promulgation and dissemination. Bukong is sincerely grateful and deeply humbled. Bukong has heard that the one who established the teachings is the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, one of the titles of the Buddha), and the one who propagates them is the Sovereign. Who else but a wise and enlightened ruler could carry out Buddhist affairs? I humbly pray that Your Majesty will bring peace and prosperity to the world, like rain and dew nourishing all living beings. The monks are especially fortunate to be bathed in imperial grace, and are deeply grateful, not knowing how to repay it. However, this scripture...

興善寺寺主圓敬，原籍為河南府陸渾縣思遠寺。

右特進試鴻臚卿大興善寺三藏沙門大廣智不空（Amoghavajra）奏報：之前的僧人圓敬即將卸任僧職，我便推薦他擔任興善寺寺主。現在得到徒弟如謙等人的舉報，稱該僧人自恃是寺廟的負責人，侵佔寺廟的常住財產，毀壞僧舍房屋，修建自己的私人住宅，不合理地役使寺廟的家人，甚至和尼姑庵的尼姑們不清不楚地居住在一起，不避嫌疑。現在已經被京兆府調查審問，事蹟已經敗露。恐怕會按照法律進行懲處，這在佛門之中實在是令人感到羞愧的事情。懇請保留他的僧衣，不剝奪他的僧人身份，勒令他返回陸渾縣的本寺，允許他改過自新，為國家修行。

進呈《文殊師利佛剎功德經》的奏狀一份

【English Translation】 English version: This is the fundamental source of all virtuous deeds, the distinguished name of the Pure Land. The great vows of the Bodhisattvas, the adornments of merit, the Samadhi (禪定, meditative absorption) powers, the Dharma seals of the Tathagata (如來, Thus Come One), are all fully complete. Even a brief hearing and rejoicing brings limitless blessings, how much more so the merit of reciting and upholding it. I hope to repay a fraction of the Buddha's kindness through the benefits of this Dharma. I especially implore the Heavenly Grace to order that seven monks be assigned in the great temples of the realm, and three monks in the small temples, to lecture, expound, and recite this scripture in the newly established Manjushri (文殊) Monastery for the sake of the nation. If any monks are absent, they should be promptly replaced, ensuring that the sound of the Dharma is transmitted like an unceasing lamp, forever protecting the peace of the nation and the health of the Emperor. With utmost sincerity, I respectfully submit this memorial for your consideration. Śrāmaṇa (沙門, monastic) Amoghavajra (不空) respectfully and sincerely reports.

June, the eighth year of the Dali era

Amoghavajra (不空), Special Advanced Official, Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, Tripitaka Master, Śrāmaṇa (沙門) of Great Wisdom, presents this memorial.

A decree demoting Yuanjing, the abbot of Xingshan Monastery, and returning him to Siyuan Monastery in Henan.

Yuanjing, the abbot of Xingshan Monastery, originally belonged to Siyuan Monastery in Luhun County, Henan Prefecture.

Right: Amoghavajra (不空), Special Advanced Official, Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, Tripitaka Master of Great Xingshan Monastery, reports: The previous monk Yuanjing was about to relinquish his monastic duties, so I recommended him to serve as the abbot of Xingshan Monastery. Now, I have received reports from his disciples, such as Ruqian, stating that this monk, relying on his position as the head of the monastery, has encroached upon the monastery's permanent property, destroyed monastic buildings, built his own private residence, unreasonably exploited the monastery's servants, and even engaged in scandalous behavior with nuns from a nearby nunnery, showing no regard for propriety. He is currently under investigation by the Jingzhao Prefecture, and the facts have been exposed. It is feared that he will be punished according to the law, which would be a truly shameful matter for the Buddhist community. I humbly request that his monastic robes be preserved, that his status as a monk not be revoked, and that he be ordered to return to his original monastery in Luhun County, allowing him to reform and cultivate for the benefit of the nation.

【English Translation】 English version A Complete Volume in Three Sections of the 'Great Sage Manjusri Bodhisattva Buddha-land Merit Adornment Sutra' (along with) Jeweled Box

On the right is Amoghavajra, who previously received the imperial decree to translate this sutra. The Emperor's grace is immense, and it has been completed. Comparing and proofreading the Tang Dynasty and Sanskrit versions, the language and phonetics have been carefully reviewed and finalized. The year, month, place, scribe, and names of the monks and laypeople who certified the meaning are all inscribed in the scroll. The origins and causes of Manjusri's (Manjusri) deeds, from the initial aspiration to the attainment of perfect enlightenment, and the adornment of the pure land, are all recorded in detail in this sutra. The principle of all Buddhas, the practice of Bodhisattvas, and the unproduced reality of sentient beings in the Dharma realm are all clearly expressed. The merits and virtues are vast, and few other sutras can compare. May this excellent cause be used to support the Emperor's prosperity, and may it be proclaimed throughout the world to benefit the people. It is especially hoped that the Emperor will grant permission to arrange seven monks in the newly established Manjusri Monastery and three monks in the smaller temple, to lecture and study in the Manjusri Monastery for the long-term benefit of the country. If there are any vacancies, they should be filled in a timely manner, so that the lamp of the Dharma will continue to shine brightly. Who among the spirits and sentient beings would not be delighted? Fortunately, on the day of the Wheel-Turning King's birth and the auspicious gathering of gods and humans, may this auspicious fortune increase the Emperor's longevity. May the flow of the Dharma add to the Emperor's sea of wisdom. I respectfully submit this memorial for your consideration. If the Emperor grants permission, please issue an imperial decree.

Dao Yu, Former Chief Administrator of Xingshan Monastery

On the right is Amoghavajra, Special Advanced Grand Master of the Honglu Temple, Tripitaka Master, reporting. The aforementioned monk is pure and strict in his precepts and conduct, and is respected by the masses. He previously served as the chief administrator, managing the affairs of the monastery, and has been consistent from beginning to end, and his diligent efforts have been quite evident. Now, this monastery lacks an abbot, and he has the talent to manage it. I humbly request that he be appointed as the abbot.

【English Translation】 English version Imperial Secretariat Envoy

Memorial of Thanks for the Bestowal of a Complete Collection of Sutras of the Qionghua Zhenren (Qionghua Zhenren, a Daoist immortal title) and Reply

The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Bukong (Amoghavajra) says: The Inner Attendant Supervisor Wu Xiuyue conveyed the Imperial Edict: This complete collection of the True Thus Come Vajra Sutras of the Qionghua Zhenren, totaling five thousand and fifty scrolls, all have sandalwood fragrant shafts, woven colorful covers, a sutra repository composed of various fragrances, a fragrant wooden sutra table, a golden and jeweled incense burner, with clouds and rainbows shining, the sun and moon interspersed, and bright fragrance filling the streets. It is bestowed upon Bukong to be placed in the monastery, so that he may recite, welcome, and worship them. Joy and gratitude are intertwined. I do not know what merit I have to repay this profound creation. Upon careful reflection, those who receive and uphold the holy scriptures of all Buddhas will obtain boundless blessings. I hope to use this excellent cause to repay even a ten-thousandth of it. I will immediately dispatch fourteen people to recite them for a long time. May the True Thus Come Vajra's merit and virtue be firm and solid, and may the Holy Emperor's reign be renewed for ten thousand kalpas. I cannot express the joy and excitement. I respectfully attach the Central Envoy Wu Xiuyue to present this memorial of thanks for your consideration. The Shramana Bukong sincerely rejoices and trembles, and speaks with respect.

Presented by the Tripitaka Shramana Daguangzhi Bukong, holding the honorary title of Special Advance and Acting Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, on the eighteenth day of the tenth month of the eighth year of the Dali era.

Imperial Approval by the Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Baoying Era:

The Tripitaka Master's Brahma conduct is profound and deep, and the Holy Ones protect him. Reciting and circulating the scriptures brings boundless blessings. We respectfully place the collection of scriptures in a fragrant temple, and wish to pray for auspicious ceremonies. May it protect Qionghua, so that chronic illnesses may be permanently eliminated and auspicious virtues may grow. How can we say that this is a special favor, to trouble you with this memorial of thanks?

Memorial of Thanks for the Bestowal of Ridgepole Cakes, Cash, and Other Items for the Raising of the Beam of the Manjushri Pavilion

The Shramana Bukong says: The Manjushri Pavilion was previously ordered by Imperial Decree to raise the beam on the fourteenth day of this month. Heavenly grace has been bestowed upon us, and we have been specially granted a thousand monks' vegetarian meal, two hundred strings of red cash for the raising of the beam, two thousand ridgepole cakes, two thousand sesame cakes, two hundred strings of tea, ten urns of fragrant soup, ten trays of ghee and honey food, fifteen sweet oranges, and forty sugar cane stalks. Imperial envoys follow one another on the roads, and food and drink overflow the streets. Imperial delicacies have filled the great assembly, and heavenly kitchen soup and tea have universally satisfied the scholars and commoners. The Holy Grace is excessive.

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 批示： 和上（Heshang，對僧侶的尊稱）道行圓滿光明，慈悲普及一切，得知您年幼的孩子經常生病，我對此深感憂慮。這些是時令節日的禮物，特此表達我的感謝。

三藏和上（Sanzang Heshang，精通三藏的僧侶）的遺書：

我普告四眾弟子（Sizhong dizi，比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷）等：大教（Dajiao，偉大的教義）總體上是特別浩瀚深廣的，瑜伽（Yoga）的秘密誰能測度它的源頭？我自幼出家，依師學業，探尋梵文經典二十餘年，日夜精勤，虛心請教，才被授予瑜伽四千頌法。奈何我積聚的罪業深重，先師壽終正寢，我棲身托靠的地方沒有了，憑藉什麼來精進學業？因此我遠遊天竺（Tianzhú，古代印度），渡海冒險，遍學瑜伽，親自禮拜聖蹟，得到十萬頌法藏的印可，相互傳承，迴歸帝鄉（Dixiang，國都），在福地行教化。然而有一天我被供奉為三代帝師，人主（Renzhu，君主）盡數授予我瑜伽密傳的法契。從當今聖上開始弘揚佛教，最深奧的十八會瑜伽全部建立起來，三十七聖眾（Sanshiqishengzhong，三十七道品）一一修行。每次進入道場，都按時念誦。九重（Jiuzhong，皇宮）的君王恒常觀照五智（Wuzhi，五種智慧）之心，朝廷百官都持守身語意三密（Sanmi，三密相應）之印。我主持灌頂（Guanding，密宗的一種儀式）三十餘年，入壇授法的弟子很多，五部（Wubu，密宗的五部）琢磨成立了八個，相繼淪亡，只有六個人。他們是誰呢？他們是金閣含光（Jinge Hanguang）、新羅慧超（Xinluo Huichao）、青龍慧果（Qinglong Huiguo）、崇福慧朗（Chongfu Huilang）、保壽元皎（Baoshou Yuanjiao）、覺超（Juechao）。後來的學人有疑問，你們要為他們開示，讓佛法之燈不熄滅，以此來報答我的恩情。況且我年登七十，氣力漸漸衰退，你們年幼的人很多，所以先留下遺囑給當院的僧弟子慧勝（Huisheng）等人。他們從小侍奉我，恭敬謹慎沒有懈怠，勤勞的時間很久了，實在值得憐憫。即使五部沒有沾染，只要對一尊佛精熟修持，成就佛果也是綽綽有餘的。各自勉勵，如同我在世一樣，必須和睦同住持。如果有危害集體的，我不保佑你。我受持的金剛（Jingang，金剛杵），鈴杵（Lingchu，鈴和杵），還有銀盤子菩提子念珠（Yinpanzi putizi nianzhu，銀盤菩提念珠），水晶念珠（Shuijing nianzhu，水晶念珠）和盒子，並進獻供奉聖人（Shengren，指皇帝），請送入內廷，以及保

I hereby announce to all fourfold disciples (Bhikshus, Bhikshunis, Upasakas, Upasikas): The Great Teaching (Dajiao) is generally vast and profound, and who can fathom the source of the secrets of Yoga? I left home at a young age, studied with my teacher, and explored Sanskrit scriptures for more than twenty years, diligently day and night, humbly seeking instruction, and was then granted the four thousand verses of Yoga. Alas, my accumulated sins are heavy, and my late teacher passed away, leaving me with no place to rely on. How can I advance my studies? Therefore, I traveled far to Tianzhu (ancient India), crossed the sea at risk, studied Yoga extensively, personally paid homage to the sacred sites, and obtained the approval of the hundred thousand verses of the Dharma treasury. Passing it down to each other, I returned to Dixiang (the capital) and propagated teachings in the blessed land. However, one day I was enshrined as the teacher of three generations of emperors, and the rulers fully bestowed upon me the secret Dharma contracts of Yoga. Starting with the current sage, Buddhism is promoted, and the most profound eighteen assemblies of Yoga are all established, and the thirty-seven sages (thirty-seven factors of enlightenment) practice one by one. Each time they enter the monastery, they recite on time. The emperor in the ninefold palace constantly contemplates the mind of the five wisdoms, and the court officials all hold the mudra of the three mysteries of body, speech, and mind. I have presided over the initiation (a ritual in esoteric Buddhism) for more than thirty years, and there are many disciples who have entered the mandala to receive the Dharma. The five sections (the five divisions of esoteric Buddhism) have been established in eight, and have successively perished, leaving only six people. Who are they? They are Jinge Hanguang, Silla Hyecho, Qinglong Huiguo, Chongfu Huilang, Baoshou Yuanjiao, and Juechao. If later learners have doubts, you should explain them to them, so that the lamp of the Dharma will not be extinguished, in order to repay my kindness. Moreover, I am seventy years old, and my strength is gradually declining. Many of you are young, so I will first leave a will to the monastic disciples of this monastery, Huisheng and others. They have served me since childhood, respectfully and diligently without slackening, and have worked hard for a long time, which is truly worthy of pity. Even if they have not been exposed to the five sections, as long as they are proficient in the practice of one Buddha, it is more than enough to achieve Buddhahood. Encourage each other, as if I were still alive, and you must live together in harmony. If anyone harms the group, I will not bless you. I hold the Vajra (Vajra), the bell and vajra, as well as the silver plate Bodhi seed rosary, the crystal rosary and the box, and offer them to the sage (referring to the emperor), please send them to the inner court, and protect

【English Translation】 English version: I enter the inner chamber, and the Sage also knows. You are always frequently driven and work the hardest. Regarding this matter, Great Officer Li will help you submit a memorial to request ordination. There are two cows on the estate, which can be converted into approximately fifteen strings of cash, to be used as expenses for the permanent residence, to redeem all the causes and conditions within Ling Qiao Courtyard. All the merits of the banners, canopies, and portraits of the Dharma assembly, as well as felt blankets, bronze ware, porcelain, and 'she' cups, all are donated to the Manjusri (Manjusri Bodhisattva) Pavilion's Dharma assembly, to be forever used as offerings, and must not be transferred at will, and if there are any scattered or lent to others. My personal clothing has all been donated, and there are eighty-seven taels of gold and two hundred and twenty and a half taels of silver, all of which will be donated to the Golden Pavilion and Jade Flower Temples on Mount Wutai (Mount Wutai), for the merit of renovation. All the furniture, firewood utensils, ironware, earthenware, bed blankets, felt mattresses, beds, hoes, and various miscellaneous items, I donate to the current courtyard for use. Disciples may stay when traveling to and from. The sutras in the Brahma Sutra Pavilion are placed in the library, and these sutras are bestowed by imperial decree for the town monastery to place. You must often recite, uphold, burn incense, make offerings, and protect them for the country, and must not allow them to be scattered or lost. I memorialized the Sage to build a pavilion, placing Manjusri Bodhisattva (Manjusri Bodhisattva) below and Han and Sanskrit sutras above, as a field of merit for the country, for eternal offerings. The pavilion has been greatly renovated and completed, but the craftsmen's debts and decorations have not yet been completed. The verandas, gates, houses, and monks' quarters have not yet been established. All the remaining scattered square timbers and purlins, you and the Great Officer should discuss and properly report to the court to complete the repairs. After the pavilion is completed, twenty-one monks (three sevens monks) will be placed for the country to recite sutras and chant, forever assisting the Sage's longevity and fulfilling my original vow. The monastic residence and estate of the monks and teachers at the He Shang Pagoda in Tokyo, you must also manage and establish for me. The carts, oxen, Hu County Xiao Nan Village, as well as the newly purchased land, and the rice fields attached to the Imperial Accommodation River, and the vegetable garden south of the street, I donate to the Manjusri (Manjusri Bodhisattva) Pavilion's Dharma assembly in the current courtyard, for the monks who recite sutras to forever use as grain, incense oil, charcoal, and other offerings, and must not be taken out of the courtyard for use. No outsiders may obstruct or seize them. The Xianggu Zi Village will double the permanent residence. The title deeds of the village are handed over to the temple. I again admonish all disciples, you must know that human life is impermanent, and no one can avoid this. The relationship between teacher and disciple...

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 道所依據的法義和情親，與世俗的骨肉親情完全不同。你們如果聽從我的話，就是我的法子；如果違揹我的命令，就是沒有佛法因緣。我圓寂之後，你們都不要穿喪服，也不要哭泣攀援，思念我的時候就勤加唸誦，這是報答我的恩情。也不要枉費錢財，用世俗的威儀來葬送我，也不要設定墓地，白白浪費人力。只要用一張床，大家都必須唸誦，把我送到郊外，按照佛法荼毗（火葬）。取我的骨灰加持后，就散掉。也不要設立靈位，畫像。儒生七十二個弟子尚且有心喪，我的教法灌頂相傳，完全不是這樣。你們這些弟子是從佛口生，從法化生，得到佛法的一部分，就如同普賢菩薩的身，行普賢菩薩的行，住普賢菩薩的心，圓滿光明，周遍一切，五智同時顯現。修行如此，就是契合我的心意，何必匆匆忙忙，營營茍茍，做那些非法無益的事情呢？我所告訴你們的，你們必須依照我這裡的吩咐。恐怕以後沒有憑據，所以請三綱（寺院中的三種綱領執事），直歲（值年僧人），徒眾等署名，作為鄔波馱耶（親教師）的遺告。

【English Translation】 English version: The Dharma principles and affection of the Way are completely different from the flesh and blood relationships of the mundane world. If you follow my words, you are my Dharma sons; if you disobey my commands, you have no Dharma affinity. After my passing, you must not wear mourning clothes, nor weep and cling. When you remember me, diligently recite the scriptures; this is how you repay my kindness. Do not waste money on worldly rituals for my funeral, nor set up a tomb, wasting human effort. Simply use a bed, and everyone must recite the scriptures, sending me to the outskirts for cremation according to the Dharma. Take my ashes, bless them, and then scatter them. Do not erect a memorial tablet or paint my image. Even the seventy-two disciples of Confucius observe a period of mourning in their hearts, but my teachings, passed down through initiation, are completely different. You disciples are born from the Buddha's mouth, transformed by the Dharma, and have received a portion of the Buddha's Dharma. You are like the body of Samantabhadra (Universal Virtue Bodhisattva), practice the conduct of Samantabhadra, and dwell in the mind of Samantabhadra, perfectly enlightened, all-encompassing, with the five wisdoms manifesting simultaneously. Cultivating in this way is in accordance with my heart. Why rush about, busying yourselves with unlawful and unprofitable matters? What I have told you, you must follow according to my instructions here. Fearing there will be no proof later, I ask the three stewards (of the monastery), the year-attending monk, and the assembly to sign their names as the final instruction of the Upadhyaya (preceptor).

A decree ordering the establishment of chanting monks in two monasteries within the Xing Shan Temple.

Disciples and monks Hui Lang, Hui Chao, Hui Can, Hui Hai, Hui Jian, Hui Jue, Hui Hui, etc., request to constantly recite scriptures for the country in the Abhisheka (initiation) hall of the temple. Monks Hui Gan, Hui Guo, Hui Yan, Hui Yun, Hui Xin, Hui Zhen, Hui Sheng, Hui Shen, Hui Ying, Hui Xing, Hui Ji, Hui Jun, Hui Xian, Hui Ying.

The above monks request to constantly recite the imperially bestowed complete Buddhist scriptures for the country at the Great Sacred Manjusri Pavilion.

Formerly Special Advanced Grand Master of the Honglu Temple, the Tripitaka Master Bukong of the Da Xing Shan Temple reports: Having resided in this temple for over twenty years, establishing monasteries to chant scriptures for the country, the spiritual responses are numerous and indescribable. The Great Sacred Manjusri Pavilion has been completed with the imperial grace of money for construction. Now that the Sanskrit scriptures have been placed, and there are also imperially bestowed scriptures, it is appropriate to promote and uphold them to increase the country's blessings. Hui Lang and the other twenty-one monks have long explored the secret treasury of Buddhism, deeply understanding the true vehicle, with pure precepts and being models of the Dharma. It is hoped that, as before, they will be constantly ordered to recite and chant scriptures. If there are any incidents in the future, please select monks with genuine virtue and practice to fill the vacancies, so that the lamp of the Dharma will not be extinguished and the emperor's longevity will be boundless.

The Ministry of Central Affairs issues a document to the Da Guangzhi Bukong.

The document is issued by imperial decree and should be implemented in accordance with the document.

敕。大道的執行與不同的表象相合，君王的至理最終歸於正法。既然化城（佛教用語，比喻虛幻不實）的目標一致，為何還要區分儒家和佛家的不同道路？因此，前代的帝王沒有不崇尚奉行佛法教義，並隨著時代發展而弘揚闡釋。特進試鴻臚卿大興善寺三藏沙門大廣智不空（人名，佛教僧侶），是我的宗師，是眾人的舟楫。他超越誦讀三學（佛教用語，指戒、定、慧三學），安坐而遠離各種見解和執取；他修持萬行，常常昭示于化滅（佛教用語，指變化和寂滅）。他執持戒律，捨棄束縛，守護戒律作為行為的準則，繼承和發揚了明善教義的志向。他前來接受人王的請求。朕早年在先朝時，就聽聞了道的要義，等到要託付後事時，常常歸依於他。每次都在內殿一起研讀經書，在殿前開啟佛法。憑靠幾案，如同膠序（古代學校）的禮儀；順著風向，如同崆峒（山名）的問道。他的妙音圓融演說，秘密的修行持守，等待著叩問，如實回答，使人都能領悟。他滌除昏昧和虛妄，調伏魔障和冤孽，使天人和龍鬼都在佛法的門徑中洗滌心靈，在神力的印證下接受職司。這確實能夠消除災禍和疫病，帶來福運和吉祥。實在是因為弘揚我的佛法而帶來的好處，難道僅僅是爲了我個人的利益嗎？曾經下令用命秩來表達優厚的禮遇，從而拜他為師。盛大的佛法味道更加濃厚，深厚的恩情更加強烈。他的名字記載在明前的詔書中。妙界有莊嚴的凈土，內在的品格有果地的殊勝。偉大的在於崇尚德行，恭敬順應時宜的典章制度。可以授予開府儀同三司的官職，仍然封為肅國公，食邑三千戶，其餘待遇照舊。

Yuan Zai (person's name), Vice Director of the Chancellery and Co-officiating with the Heads of All Departments

Wang Jin (person's name), Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs and Co-officiating with the Heads of All Departments

Li Baoyu (person's name), Minister of the Ministry of War and Co-officiating with the Heads of All Departments

Situ (Minister of Education) and concurrently Director of the Chancellery

Granting the opening of a manor and bestowing the title of Duke of Su State - One edict

Edict: The operation of the Great Way aligns with differing appearances. The supreme principles of a ruler ultimately return to the Righteous Dharma. Since the goals of the 'illusory city' (a Buddhist term, a metaphor for illusion) are the same, why differentiate between the paths of Confucianism and Buddhism? Therefore, emperors of previous generations invariably revered and upheld the teachings of the Dharma, propagating and elucidating them in accordance with the times. Tejin Shi Honglu Qing (Special Advanced Grand Master of Ceremonies) and Tripitaka Master of Daxingshan Temple, the Greatly Wise Bukong (person's name, Buddhist monk), is my guru and the ferryman of the people. He transcends the recitation of the Three Learnings (Buddhist term, referring to morality, concentration and wisdom), sitting detached from views and attachments; he cultivates myriad practices, constantly demonstrating transformation and extinction (Buddhist term, referring to change and cessation). He upholds the precepts, relinquishes bonds, and guards the precepts as a standard of conduct, continuing and developing the aspiration to illuminate the good teachings. He has come to accept the request of the human king. I heard the essentials of the Way early in the previous dynasty, and when it came time to entrust matters, I always took refuge in him. Each time, we studied the scriptures together in the inner palace, and opened the Dharma in front of the palace. Leaning on the desk, it was like the etiquette of the Jiaoxu (ancient school); following the wind, it was like the questioning at Kongtong (mountain name). His wonderful sound is perfectly delivered, his secret practices are inwardly maintained, waiting to be asked, answering truthfully, enabling all to understand. He cleanses delusion and falsehood, subdues demons and grievances, causing gods and dragons to cleanse their minds in the gateway of the Dharma, and receive their duties under the seal of divine power. This indeed can eliminate disasters and plagues, and bring fortune and auspiciousness. It is truly because of propagating my Dharma that these benefits arise; is it merely for my personal gain? I once ordered the use of Mingzhi (official rank) to express generous courtesy, thereby taking him as my teacher. The great taste of the Dharma becomes even richer, and the deep kindness becomes even stronger. His name is recorded in the Mingqian edict. The wonderful realm has a solemn pure land, and the inner qualities have the distinction of the fruit ground. Great is the esteem for virtue, and respectful obedience to the timely institutions. He may be granted the official position of Kaifu Yitong Sansi (Opening of the Mansion, Equal to the Three Dukes), and still be enfeoffed as the Duke of Su State, with an estate of three thousand households. Other treatments remain as before.

Eleventh day of the sixth month of the ninth year of the Dali era

三藏和上臨終陳情辭表一首

沙門不空（Amoghavajra）言：不空（Amoghavajra）幼年侍奉先師，至今已過二十餘年。早年蒙受皇恩，三十餘年以來弘揚瑜伽法門，承受了歷代聖上的恩澤。自從陛下您登基以來，恩寵更加深厚，賜予黃閣讓我安居，降臨紫微向我問道。恩情深重，日月相繼，即使我竭盡全力，也難以報答萬分之一。然而人生如露如電，難以停留，身如蒲柳，容易衰老。自從我臥病在床，從春到夏，陛下您多次關心，多次慰問。中使和名醫在道路上絡繹不絕。但是因為病入膏肓，即使針藥也難以起死回生。生死之質，哪裡能貪戀而使其永固呢？忽然從昨夜以來，頓覺氣力衰竭，身體不屬於自己。轉眼之間，心神漸漸衰微。即將告別聖朝，實在不勝眷戀。不空（Amoghavajra）如今已過中年，不算夭折。只是因為以往曾經遠渡南海，周遊五天（印度），尋訪未曾聽聞的教義，學習未曾理解的法門，所得《金剛頂瑜伽》十萬頌以及諸部真言及經論等五十餘萬頌，希望能夠全部翻譯出來，稍微報答國家恩情。為何夙願尚未完成，忽然生涯已經走到盡頭。這正是不空（Amoghavajra）所遺憾的。伏惟陛下您降下諸佛的慈悲恩惠，滿足人們的願望。

Issued on the Day of the Sixth Month of the Ninth Year of the Dali Era

A Memorial of Last Words from the Tripitaka Master

The Sramana Amoghavajra (Unempty) speaks: Amoghavajra (Unempty) served his late teacher from a young age, and more than twenty years have passed. Early on, he received heavenly grace. For more than thirty years, he propagated the Yoga teachings, receiving the favor of successive emperors. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the favor has deepened, granting the Yellow Pavilion for my residence and descending to the Purple Palace to inquire about the Way. The accumulated grace is profound, day after day. Even if I exert myself diligently, how could I repay even a fraction of it? However, life is as fleeting as dew and lightning, difficult to hold onto; the body is like a willow, easily decaying. Since I fell ill in bed, from spring to summer, Your Majesty has shown deep concern and inquired repeatedly. Imperial envoys and famous doctors have come and gone on the roads. But because the disease has penetrated the vital regions, even needles and medicine are difficult to revive. How can the nature of birth and death be clung to and made permanent? Suddenly, since last night, I have felt my strength failing, and my body is no longer my own. In the blink of an eye, my mind is gradually weakening. I am about to bid farewell to the Sacred Court, and I am filled with longing. Amoghavajra (Unempty) is now past middle age, not yet prematurely deceased. It is only because in the past I crossed the Southern Sea and traveled throughout the Five Indias (India), seeking what had not been heard and learning what had not been understood. I obtained the 'Vajrasekhara Yoga' of one hundred thousand verses, as well as various tantras and scriptures, totaling more than five hundred thousand verses. I hoped to translate them all and slightly repay the grace of the country. Why is it that my long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled, and suddenly my life has come to an end? This is what Amoghavajra (Unempty) regrets. I humbly beseech Your Majesty to bestow the compassion and grace of all Buddhas and fulfill the wishes of the people.

奉皇上敕令告知諸位孝子等，和上是三代國師，門徒眾多，應當互相和睦，安住于瑜伽觀行，依照本教修行。如有違背爭執者，立即記錄。

【English Translation】 English version: Amoghavajra (不空) respectfully presents the 'Great Sacred Mañjuśrī Buddha-field Scripture'. He earnestly requests His Majesty's gracious permission to promulgate this scripture both domestically and internationally. He humbly hopes that His Majesty will have compassion and heed the final words of a dying man, thereby praying for the prosperity of the royal family and bringing auspiciousness for myriad kalpas. This is truly the honor and good fortune for a monk in both life and death. The five-pronged vajra bell and vajra pestle, passed down by the late master, along with the silver plate, Bodhi seeds, and crystal rosary with container, are all respectfully presented along with this memorial. With tears streaming down his face, he bids farewell to the enlightened era, filled with boundless longing. He respectfully attaches the envoy Li Xiancheng to present the memorial and report to Your Majesty. The śrāmaṇa (沙門) Amoghavajra is sincerely fearful and filled with sorrowful longing, respectfully submitted.

On the 15th day of the sixth month of the ninth year of the Dali era, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shi Honglu Qing, Duke Su of the State, Tripiṭaka (三藏) śrāmaṇa (沙門) Da Guangzhi Amoghavajra of the Daxingshan Temple, presents this memorial.

Imperial Edict of the Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying era:

The Kashaya (和上) has ascended to the tenth bhūmi (十地), coming from the five regions of India, expounding Yoga, propagating Sanskrit scriptures, traveling tens of thousands of miles, and experiencing three dynasties. He was the first to translate sacred words, personally receiving the teachings of his master. At a time when the Tang Dynasty is flourishing, he continues the transmission of the flame from his predecessors, promoting the Bodhisattva's heart, and worrying about the suffering of sentient beings. I deeply mourn this. Everything shall be done according to your request. At that time, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shi Honglu Qing, Duke Su of the State, Tripiṭaka (三藏) Kashaya (和上) Da Guangzhi Amoghavajra presented a memorial expressing his feelings. The Emperor granted his request, and an imperial edict was swiftly issued, granting all that was requested. The Kashaya (和上)'s wish was fulfilled, and with a focused mind in contemplation, he passed away peacefully, lying on his right side with legs crossed. The disciples were filled with grief, and the imperial envoy reported to the court. The Emperor deeply mourned his passing, suspended court for three days, and dispatched an imperial envoy to the Sangharama (僧伽藍) to console the monastic community and bestow gifts of condolence.

By Imperial Edict, three hundred bolts of silk and two hundred bolts of cloth are bestowed and sent to the former Da Guangzhi Amoghavajra's courtyard at the Daxingshan Temple as gifts of condolence.

Announced on the 16th day of the sixth month of the ninth year of the Dali era.

An Imperial Edict instructing all filial sons to abide by the teachings of the Dharma – a written decree.

By Imperial Edict, inform all filial sons that the Kashaya (和上) was a national preceptor for three generations. His disciples are numerous, and they should live in harmony, abide in Yoga contemplation, and practice according to the original teachings. If there are any who violate or dispute, they should be immediately recorded.

和上諱不空　聖上尊之曰大廣智三藏。故南天竺阿阇梨金剛智之法化也。昔毗盧遮那佛以瑜伽無上秘密最大乘教傳於金剛薩埵。金剛薩埵數百歲方得龍猛菩薩而傳授焉。龍猛又數百歲乃傳龍智阿阇梨。龍智又數百歲傳金剛智阿阇梨。金剛智振錫東來傳於和上。自法身如來至於和上傳此道者六人而已矣。和上童孺出家。聰明卓異。服勤精苦晝夜不息。經耳閱目咸誦無遺。聞一知十若有神告。先師嘆曰。吾道東矣。先師既歿。和上遂泛海游天竺師子等國。詣龍智阿阇梨更得瑜伽十八會法五部秘藏三乘遺典。莫不究其精奧焉。貌與人同。而心與佛齊矣。天寶初歸至上都。玄宗深敬

弟子朝散大夫（官職名）撿挍左庶子（官職名）嚴郢文

和上（對僧人的尊稱）法號不空（僧人名），聖上尊稱他為大廣智三藏（稱號）。他是南天竺（古印度南部）阿阇梨（梵語，意為導師）金剛智（僧人名）的法脈傳人。過去，毗盧遮那佛（佛教中的一位佛）將瑜伽無上秘密最大乘教法傳給金剛薩埵（菩薩名）。金剛薩埵經過數百年才將此法傳給龍猛菩薩（菩薩名）。龍猛又經過數百年才傳給龍智阿阇梨（僧人名）。龍智又經過數百年傳給金剛智阿阇梨。金剛智遠道而來，將此法傳給和上。自法身如來（佛教概念，指佛的真身）到和上，傳承此法者僅有六人。和上年幼出家，聰慧過人，勤奮刻苦，晝夜不息。經書過耳入目，都能背誦無遺。聞一知十，彷彿有神靈告知。先師（指金剛智）嘆息道：『我的道要東傳了。』先師去世后，和上便泛海遊歷天竺、師子（今斯里蘭卡）等國，拜見龍智阿阇梨，再次獲得瑜伽十八會法、五部秘藏、三乘遺典。沒有不深入研究其精髓的。外貌與常人相同，而內心卻與佛相同。天寶初年回到上都（唐朝首都），玄宗皇帝（唐玄宗）非常敬重他。

【English Translation】 English version: Present the report.

Five carts of white rice, five carts of glutinous rice, five carts of white flour, ten carts of firewood, seven 'shi' of oil, and three carts of charcoal.

Eulogy and preface for the portrait of the Tripitaka Master

Eulogy (and preface) for the portrait of the Great Tang Great Wisdom Tripitaka Master

Disciple Yan Ying, holding the title of 'Chaosan Daifu' (official title) and concurrently serving as 'Jianjiao Zuo Shuzi' (official title), writes:

The Master's (honorific title for a monk) Dharma name is Bukong (monk's name), and the Holy Emperor reverently calls him the Great Wisdom Tripitaka. He is the Dharma heir of the Acharya (Sanskrit for teacher) Vajrabodhi (monk's name) from South India. In the past, Vairocana Buddha (a Buddha in Buddhism) transmitted the unsurpassed secret Great Vehicle teachings of Yoga to Vajrasattva (a Bodhisattva). Vajrasattva, after hundreds of years, transmitted it to Nagarjuna Bodhisattva (a Bodhisattva). Nagarjuna, after hundreds of years, transmitted it to Nagabodhi Acharya (monk's name). Nagabodhi, after hundreds of years, transmitted it to Vajrabodhi Acharya. Vajrabodhi traveled far to the east and transmitted it to the Master. From the Dharmakaya Tathagata (Buddhist concept, the true body of the Buddha) to the Master, only six people have transmitted this path. The Master left home at a young age, was exceptionally intelligent, diligent, and tireless day and night. Whatever he heard or saw, he could recite without error. He understood ten things from one, as if divinely informed. The former teacher (referring to Vajrabodhi) sighed and said, 'My path will be transmitted to the East.' After the former teacher passed away, the Master sailed across the sea to countries such as India and Sinhala (modern-day Sri Lanka), visited Nagabodhi Acharya, and again obtained the eighteen assemblies of Yoga, the five sections of secret teachings, and the remaining scriptures of the Three Vehicles. There was nothing he did not deeply study its essence. His appearance is the same as ordinary people, but his heart is equal to the Buddha. In the early years of the Tianbao era, he returned to the capital (Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty), and Emperor Xuanzong (Emperor Xuanzong of Tang) deeply respected him.

維大曆九年歲次甲寅七月戊戌朔五日壬寅。鄧國夫人張氏。謹以乳藥之奠奉祭于故國大德三藏不空和尚之靈。伏惟　和尚歷劫增修已超三界之表。現身行化恒游億土之中。傳像教於東來。獻微言于北極。九重啟沃。萬乘虔恭。錫無價香。施無價寶。方欲陶甄甿俗潤色聰明。平皇運于泰階。致蒼生於彼岸。豈謂川無停逝日不再中示滅同凡歸真遽促。嗚呼哀哉。悲慟震襟。涕橫朝市。甘露收而蘭萱死。飄風起而江海波。有學無學咨稟如何。嗚呼哀哉。弟子幸以夫尊忝茲國號。三業易集。一善難成。賴和上弘慈。特垂訓誘。因為受法。心實驚惶。內省驕癡。外非奢縱。雖萬分而未去。終九變而知言。倏忽永乖。痛戀空積。辭帝里兮素輿行。瞻雁塔兮白露生。將申哀于薄奠。冀靈鑑於微誠。嗚呼哀哉。伏惟降

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 深蒙哀榮，使得我們有機會表達敬意，開始建造舍利塔。我們私下認為，精妙的佛法教義依然存在，聖明的朝廷因此增添福祉。這實在是陛下您所倡導的道義崇高顯著，難道不是門人弟子們的孝心能夠招致的嗎？曇貞等僧人無比悲痛，承受著這份恩情，謹呈上表文陳述謝意，以稟告聖上。曇貞等誠惶誠恐，謹言。

大興善寺草土僧曇貞表上

寶應元聖文武皇帝批示：

和上（Heshang，對僧人的尊稱）是僧侶的首領，弘揚精妙的佛法要旨。他永久地歸於寂滅，我們對他的追慕非常深切。遙想他遠去之日，遷神之事就在眼前。賞賜縑帛建造佛塔，哪裡需要謝恩呢？

臨葬日鄧國夫人張氏祭文一首：

于大曆九年，歲在甲寅，七月初五日壬寅，鄧國夫人張氏，謹以乳藥之奠，祭奠已故國大德三藏不空和尚（Bukong Heshang，唐代著名僧人，密宗大師）之靈。恭敬地希望和尚您歷經劫數增進修行，已經超越了三界之外，顯現身形教化眾生，恒常遊歷于億萬國土之中。將佛像教義傳到東方，向朝廷獻上精妙的佛法。多次受到皇帝的重視和恩澤，萬乘之尊也虔誠恭敬。賞賜無價的香，佈施無價的寶物。正想要教化百姓，潤澤他們的聰明才智，使皇運在泰階上安定，引導眾生到達彼岸。怎料到江河不停流逝，太陽不會再次升到正中，示現滅度如同凡人歸真一樣迅速。嗚呼哀哉！悲痛震動胸襟，眼淚灑滿朝市。甘露被收回，蘭草萱草也枯死了；狂風颳起，江海也掀起波濤。有學之人、無學之人，該向誰請教呢？嗚呼哀哉！弟子有幸因為丈夫的尊貴而忝居國號。三業容易聚集，一善難以成就。仰賴和尚您弘揚慈悲，特別垂憐訓導。因此接受佛法，內心實在驚惶。內省自身，驕慢愚癡；外在行為，並非奢侈放縱。即使去除萬分之一，也終究要經歷九變才能懂得言語。忽然間永遠分離，悲痛思念空自累積。辭別帝都，乘坐素車前行；瞻仰雁塔，只見白露滋生。將要在簡薄的祭奠中表達哀思，希望您的神靈能夠鑑察我的微薄誠意。嗚呼哀哉！伏惟降臨。

【English Translation】 English version: Deeply favored with sorrowful honor, enabling us to have a place to express our respect, and beginning the construction of the stupa for the relics. We privately believe that the subtle teachings of the Dharma still exist, and the wise dynasty will thus increase its blessings. This is truly because Your Majesty's way of advocating righteousness is lofty and evident. Could it not be that the filial piety of the disciples can bring this about? The monks Tan Zhen (Tanzhen) and others are overwhelmed with grief, bearing this kindness, and respectfully present this memorial to express our gratitude, to inform the Emperor. Tan Zhen and others are sincerely fearful and respectful, we humbly submit this.

Imperial Edict of Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Baoying Era:

The Heshang (Heshang, a respectful title for monks) is the leader of the monastic community, propagating the profound essence of the Dharma. He has permanently returned to Nirvana, and our admiration for him is very deep. Thinking of the day of his departure, the transfer of his spirit is imminent. Bestowing silk to build a pagoda, why is there a need for thanks?

Memorial address by Lady Zhang of the State of Deng on the day of the funeral:

On the fifth day, Renyin, of the seventh month, in the year Jiayin, the ninth year of the Dali era, Lady Zhang of the State of Deng, respectfully offers this libation of milk and medicine to the spirit of the late Great Virtuous Tripitaka Master Bukong Heshang (Bukong Heshang, a famous monk of the Tang Dynasty, a master of Esoteric Buddhism). Humbly hoping that the Heshang, through kalpas of increasing cultivation, has already transcended beyond the three realms, manifesting his body to teach and transform beings, constantly traveling through billions of lands. Bringing the teachings of the Buddha's image to the East, presenting subtle words to the imperial court. Repeatedly receiving the Emperor's attention and favor, even the Emperor himself is reverent and respectful. Bestowing priceless incense, giving priceless treasures. Just wanting to educate the people, to nourish their intelligence and wisdom, to stabilize the imperial fortune on the Tai Terrace, to lead sentient beings to the other shore. How could we have expected that the river would flow without stopping, and the sun would not rise again to its zenith, showing the extinction as quickly as a mortal returning to truth. Alas! Grief shakes the heart, tears flood the court. The sweet dew is withdrawn, and the orchids and daylilies wither; the gale rises, and the rivers and seas surge. Those who have learning and those who do not, to whom shall they turn for guidance? Alas! This disciple is fortunate to hold the title of the state because of her husband's nobility. The three karmas are easily accumulated, but a single good deed is difficult to achieve. Relying on the Heshang's great compassion, especially bestowing instruction and guidance. Therefore, receiving the Dharma, the heart is truly fearful. Introspecting oneself, arrogant and ignorant; outward behavior, not extravagant or indulgent. Even if removing one ten-thousandth of it, one must ultimately undergo nine transformations to understand speech. Suddenly and forever separated, painful longing accumulates in vain. Bidding farewell to the imperial capital, riding in a plain carriage; gazing at the Wild Goose Pagoda, only to see white dew growing. I will express my sorrow in this simple offering, hoping that your spirit can perceive my meager sincerity. Alas! Humbly hoping for your descent.

《三藏和上之碑》

敕令撿挍千福安國兩塔院法華道場沙門飛錫撰寫

一輪明月飛昇天空，萬千河流奔流不息。印度五天顯現吉兆，三藏法師降生人世。這是指誰呢？正是我的大師啊！大師的法號是不空（Amoghavajra）。他是北印度婆羅門之子。當初他的母親遇到一位相士，相士說：『你必定會生下菩提薩埵（Bodhisattva）！』說完就消失了。幾天之後，他的母親果然夢見佛微笑，眼中放出光芒灌注她的頭頂。醒來后仍然感覺室內明亮如白晝。因此而懷孕。大師年幼喪父，十歲時跟隨舅父到武威郡，十三歲遊歷太原府，之後進入長安，以尋求脫離生死輪迴的要道。他見到大弘教金剛三藏（Vajrabodhi），認為這才是他真正的老師。最初測試他悉曇章（Siddham，梵文字母）的學習，讓他誦讀梵文經典。梵文發音非常準確，一聽就能記住，沒有遺漏。於是金剛三藏允許他進入壇場，授予他發菩提心戒。他年僅十五歲就出家了。二十歲時，他從有部（Sarvastivada）受具足戒，成為一位大苾芻（Bhiksu，比丘）。他對戒律和儀軌非常精通，但他並不以此為滿足，想要學習聲明論（Shabda-vidya，語言學）和窮究瑜伽宗（Yoga）。他將自己的想法告訴先師金剛三藏，金剛三藏沒有立刻答應。晚上，金剛三藏夢見佛菩薩像都來行走，於是說：『我夢中所見的法藏已經有人可以託付了。』於是將三密（身語意）傳授給他，講解五智（五種智慧）。花費十二年功夫，在六月完成。到了開元二十九年秋天，先師金剛三藏圓寂入塔之後，有皇帝的詔令，讓他攜帶國書前往師子國（Simhala，斯里蘭卡）。白色的波浪連線山脈，巨大的魚類橫行於大海，巨大的波濤洶涌澎湃，猛烈的狂風劇烈吹動。每當遇到各種災難時，他就奮起金剛杵（Vajra），諷誦《隨求即得大自在陀羅尼》（Mahapratisara），災難便會平息。船隻順利到達了師子國。他的弟子僧人含光、慧辯都親眼目睹了這些事情。師子國的國王在郊外迎接，在宮中供養了七天。用真金器皿為大師沐浴，彎著腰，小步走上前去問安，以保持梵天的禮節。國王的眷屬、宰輔大臣都非常虔誠恭敬。那個國家有普賢阿遮梨（Samantabhadra Acarya）聖者，地位接近聖地，德行被當時的人們所尊敬。大師向他請教佛法，沒有展現任何虛假的誠意，奉獻金貝寶物說：『我所珍寶的是心，不是這些寶物。』隨即普賢阿遮梨就授予他十八會金剛頂（Vajrasekhara）的灌頂。

Stele of the Tripitaka Master

Composed by the Shramana Feixi of the Huayan Dharma Assembly at the Qianfu and Anguo Two Pagoda Temples, by Imperial Order

A single moon flies in the sky, and myriad streams do not cease. Auspicious signs appeared in the five regions of India, and the Tripitaka Master was born. Who is he? He is my great master! The master's Dharma name is Amoghavajra. He was the son of a Brahmin in North India. Initially, his mother encountered a fortune-teller who said, 'You will surely give birth to a Bodhisattva!' After saying this, the fortune-teller disappeared. Several days later, his mother indeed dreamed of the Buddha smiling, with light emanating from his eyes and pouring over her head. Even after waking up, she still felt the room was as bright as day. Thus, she became pregnant. He lost his father early in life. At the age of ten, he followed his uncle to Wuwei Prefecture. At thirteen, he traveled to Taiyuan Prefecture, and then entered Chang'an, seeking the essential path to liberation. He met the Great Propagator of Teachings, the Vajra Tripitaka Master (Vajrabodhi), and recognized him as his true teacher. Initially, he was tested on the Siddham script (Siddham, Sanskrit alphabet), and asked to recite Sanskrit scriptures. His Sanskrit pronunciation was very accurate, and he could remember everything he heard without omission. Therefore, Vajrabodhi allowed him to enter the mandala and bestowed upon him the Bodhicitta Precepts. He became a monk at the young age of fifteen. At the age of twenty, he received the full monastic precepts from the Sarvastivada school, becoming a great Bhiksu (Bhiksu, monk). He was very proficient in the Vinaya and rituals, but he was not content with this. He wanted to study Shabda-vidya (linguistics) and thoroughly investigate the Yoga school. He told his teacher, Vajrabodhi, about his ideas, but Vajrabodhi did not immediately agree. That night, Vajrabodhi dreamed of the Buddha and Bodhisattva images all coming to walk. He then said, 'The Dharma treasury that I saw in my dream already has someone to entrust it to.' Thus, he transmitted the Three Mysteries (body, speech, and mind) to him, and explained the Five Wisdoms (five kinds of wisdom). It took twelve years of effort, completed in June. In the autumn of the twenty-ninth year of the Kaiyuan era, after his teacher Vajrabodhi passed away and entered the stupa, there was an imperial decree ordering him to carry the state letter to Simhala (Simhala, Sri Lanka). White waves connected the mountains, and giant fish roamed the sea. Huge waves surged, and fierce winds blew violently. Whenever various disasters occurred, he would raise the Vajra (Vajra) and recite the Mahapratisara Dharani, and the disasters would subside. The ship smoothly reached Simhala. His disciples, the monks Hanguang and Huibian, witnessed these events with their own eyes. The king of Simhala greeted him in the suburbs and offered him offerings in the palace for seven days. He bathed the master with vessels of pure gold, bent over, and walked forward in small steps to greet him, maintaining the Brahmanical etiquette. The king's family, ministers, and officials were all very pious and respectful. In that country, there was the holy Samantabhadra Acarya, whose position was close to the holy land and whose virtue was respected by the people of that time. The master asked him about the Dharma, without showing any false sincerity, and offered gold and shell treasures, saying, 'What I treasure is the mind, not these treasures.' Immediately, Samantabhadra Acarya bestowed upon him the initiation of the Eighteen Assemblies of the Vajrasekhara.

瑜伽並毗盧遮那大悲胎藏五部灌頂真言秘典經論梵夾五百餘部。僉以為得其所傳也。他日王作調象戲以試大師。大師結佛眼印。住慈心定。誦真言門以卻之。其象顛仆不能前進。王甚敬異。與夫指降醉像有何殊哉。則知七葉之花本無香氣。五陰之舍豈有我人。三摩地中示其能慧。至天寶六載。自師子國還　玄宗延入建壇。親授灌頂。住凈影寺。於時愆亢納慮于隍。大師結壇應期。油云四起。霈然洪澍。遂內出寶箱。賜紫袈裟一副絹二百匹。以旌神用。或大風拔樹之災。祆星失度之沴。舉心默唸如影響焉。至十三載。有　敕令往武威走節度使哥舒翰請。立大道場。與梵僧含光並俗弟子開府應李元琮等授五部灌頂金剛界大曼荼羅法。時道場地為之大動。有業障者散花不下。上著子蓋。猶如群蜂味之香蕊。不能卻之。事訖方墜。何神之若此耶。十桂紫眼月　敕還京住大興善寺。洎至德中。肅宗皇帝行在靈武。大師密進不動尊八方神旗經。並定收京之日如符印焉。乾元中。延入內殿建護摩。親授灌頂。渥恩薦至。有殊恒禮。尋令于智炬寺唸誦。感本尊玉毫劃然大明照徹巖谷。及　我寶應臨朝金輪馭歷。聖滕彌積。師事道尊。授特進試鴻臚卿。加大廣智之號。躬稟秘妙。吉祥至止。或普賢瀉神光于紫殿。六宮作禮。或文殊呈瑞相

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：有關於瑜伽和毗盧遮那大悲胎藏五部灌頂真言的秘典經論梵文典籍五百餘部，人們都認為大師得到了其真正的傳承。後來，國王舉行調象戲來測試大師。大師結佛眼印（一種手印），安住于慈心禪定，誦持真言以制止大象。那大象顛仆倒地，無法前進。國王非常敬佩驚異。這與夫指降伏醉象的故事有什麼區別呢？由此可知，七葉之花原本就沒有香氣，五陰（色、受、想、行、識）之身又哪裡有我與他人之分呢？大師在三摩地（禪定）中展示了他的智慧和能力。到了天寶六年，大師從師子國（今斯里蘭卡）返回，玄宗皇帝邀請他入宮建壇，親自接受灌頂，並讓他住在凈影寺。當時，因為長期乾旱，人們憂慮不已。大師結壇祈雨，應期而至，油云四起，大雨傾盆。於是，皇帝從內庫取出寶箱，賜予大師紫袈裟一副和絹二百匹，以表彰他的神力。或者遇到大風拔樹的災害，或者出現妖星失常的變故，只要誠心默唸，就能像影子一樣迅速消除。到了天寶十三年，有皇帝的敕令，讓大師前往武威，拜見節度使哥舒翰，請他設立大道場，與梵僧含光以及俗家弟子開府應李元琮等人，傳授五部灌頂金剛界大曼荼羅法。當時，道場的大地為之震動。有業障的人，所散的花無法落下，停留在子蓋之上，就像群蜂貪戀花蕊的香味，無法驅趕。事情結束后，花才墜落。這是何等的神奇啊！十桂紫眼月，皇帝下敕令讓大師返回京城，住在興善寺。到了至德年間，肅宗皇帝在靈武，大師秘密進獻不動尊八方神旗經，並預言收復京城之日，結果如符印一般應驗。乾元年間，皇帝邀請大師進入內殿，建立護摩（火供）壇，親自接受灌頂，恩寵優厚，不同於尋常的禮遇。不久，皇帝又讓大師在智炬寺唸誦，感應到本尊玉毫（佛像眉間白毫）放出光明，照亮了整個山谷。以及我寶應皇帝臨朝，金輪王馭歷，聖德積累，以大師為師，授予特進試鴻臚卿的官職，加封大廣智的稱號，親自稟受秘法，吉祥降臨。有時普賢菩薩在紫殿放出神光，六宮嬪妃都行禮膜拜。有時文殊菩薩呈現吉祥的瑞相。 English version: There were more than five hundred volumes of esoteric scriptures and treatises in Sanskrit concerning Yoga and the Vajraśekhara-garbhadhātu-maṇḍala of Mahākaruṇā, which were believed to be the true transmission received by the master. Later, the king held an elephant-taming performance to test the master. The master formed the Buddha-eye mudrā (a hand gesture), abided in the samādhi of loving-kindness, and recited mantras to subdue the elephant. The elephant stumbled and fell, unable to move forward. The king was deeply impressed and amazed. What difference was there between this and the story of Fuzhi subduing the drunken elephant? From this, it can be understood that the seven-leaf flower originally had no fragrance, and where in the abode of the five skandhas (form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness) can one find self and others? The master demonstrated his wisdom and ability in samādhi (meditative absorption). In the sixth year of the Tianbao era, the master returned from the country of the Lion (present-day Sri Lanka). Emperor Xuanzong invited him to the palace to build an altar, personally received initiation, and had him reside in Jingying Temple. At that time, due to prolonged drought, people were worried. The master built an altar to pray for rain, and as expected, dark clouds gathered and heavy rain poured down. Thereupon, the emperor took out a treasure chest from the inner treasury and bestowed upon the master a purple kāṣāya (robe) and two hundred bolts of silk to commend his divine power. Or, when disasters such as strong winds uprooting trees or abnormal movements of evil stars occurred, sincere silent recitation could eliminate them as quickly as a shadow. In the thirteenth year of the Tianbao era, an imperial edict ordered the master to go to Wuwei to meet the military commissioner, Geshuhan, and request him to establish a grand altar to transmit the Vajradhātu-maṇḍala Dharma of the five initiations to the monastic Samantabhadra and lay disciples including Kai Fu Ying Li Yuanzong. At that time, the ground of the altar shook greatly. Those with karmic obstacles could not drop the flowers they scattered, which remained on the canopy, like bees coveting the fragrance of the stamens, unable to be driven away. Only after the ceremony was completed did the flowers fall. How miraculous was this! In the tenth month of the Guihai year, the emperor issued an edict for the master to return to the capital and reside in Xing'an Temple. During the Zhide era, when Emperor Suzong was in Lingwu, the master secretly presented the Acala (immovable) Eight Directions Divine Banner Sutra and predicted the day of the recapture of the capital, which came true like a talisman. During the Qianyuan era, the emperor invited the master into the inner palace to build a homa (fire offering) altar and personally received initiation, receiving great favor and special treatment. Soon after, the emperor had the master recite sutras in Zhiju Temple, and the master sensed the ūrṇā (a tuft of white hair between the eyebrows of a Buddha) of the principal deity emitting a great light, illuminating the entire valley. And when Emperor Bao Ying ascended the throne, the wheel-turning king ruled, and accumulated sacred virtues, he took the master as his teacher, bestowed upon him the title of Special Advancement and Acting Director of the Court of State Ceremonial, and added the title of Greatly Wise, personally receiving secret teachings, and auspiciousness descended. Sometimes Samantabhadra emitted divine light in the Purple Palace, and the six palaces paid homage. Sometimes Mañjuśrī presented auspicious omens.

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 在金閣寺，萬乘之君致力於修復和增建。有時翻譯《密嚴護國經》的梵文版本，五彩祥雲飛舞；有時翻譯《虛空庫藏經》的貝葉經文，雲霧籠罩著成千上萬的僧侶。大師接受皇命前往清涼山，又承蒙皇恩返回帝都。各種靈驗事蹟，難以一一陳述。這才領悟到虛空之花的本體本無生滅，真如的妙用又哪裡會有來去。前後奉旨所翻譯的各種經典總共有八十三部，共計一百二十卷，都已經頒佈施行並收入經藏目錄。同時奏請天下各寺廟以文殊菩薩（Manjusri）為上座，並設定佛寺，樹立佛像，以保衛國家邊境，表達深切的敬意。到了大曆八年，有進退的旨意，在興善寺本院又建造文殊金閣，建造的資金由宮廷內庫撥出，工匠們紛紛前來。寶傘從九霄雲外懸掛下來，御賜的香也由一人親自授予。無數的民眾如同從地涌出，天上的音樂彷彿就在空中降臨。到了大曆九年六月十一日，朝廷下詔加封大師為開府儀同三司，封為肅國公，食邑三千戶，其餘待遇照舊。榮耀和恩寵非常優厚，光彩更加繁盛。降低北極星的尊貴，以示對師長的尊敬之禮。賜予幡幢佛像的恩惠，賞賜玉帛，敕書堆滿了箱子，朝廷的使者絡繹不絕。自古以來，從未有像我們皇上這樣虔誠信仰的，也從未有像我們大師這樣赤誠忠心的。大師從二十歲開始，直到隨心所欲的五十多年裡，每天四個時辰都進行道場唸誦，上至皇宮御殿，下至普通床榻，剎那之間也從未間斷。萬嶺上的寒松，經歷了嚴霜的考驗而更加呈現出青黛的顏色，從中可以看出大師的正直操守。更何況進入朱門如同進入簡陋的茅屋，五年之中三次穿著粗布衣裳。即使乘坐著麒麟，也常常處於九禪的清凈境界。獨立不倚，如同大通眾色摩尼寶珠，本來就沒有固定的色彩，色彩只是來自於它本身，與我又有什麼關係呢？這真是真言宗的玄妙匠師，法王的大寶啊！唉！菩薩應以應無所住而生其心，如來如同堅固的樹林，救度有情的眾生，示現輕微的疾病，自己知道離去的時辰。于當月十五日，於是命令弟子進呈表章，向上告辭，囑咐他們

【English Translation】 English version: At the Jin Ge Monastery (Golden Pavilion Monastery), the sovereign of ten thousand chariots devoted himself to restoration and construction. Sometimes, he translated the Sanskrit version of the Guhyagarbha-vyūha Sūtra (Adornment of the Secret Chamber Sutra, a sutra protecting the country), with five-colored auspicious clouds flying about; sometimes, he translated the Akasagarbha Sutra (Treasury of Empty Space Sutra) from palm-leaf manuscripts, with mist enveloping thousands of monks. The Great Master, receiving the imperial command, went to Qingliang Mountain (Mount Wutai), and then, receiving imperial grace, returned to the imperial capital. The various miraculous events are difficult to fully recount. Only then did one realize that the essence of the flower in the empty sky is without arising or ceasing, and how could the function of True Thusness (Tathata) have coming or going. The various scriptures translated before and after by imperial decree totaled eighty-three sections, amounting to one hundred and twenty volumes, all of which have been promulgated and included in the catalog of the Tripitaka. At the same time, it was requested that all temples in the land regard Manjusri (Manjusri, Bodhisattva of Wisdom) as the senior seat, and establish temples and erect statues to protect the national borders, expressing deep reverence. By the eighth year of the Dali era, there was an imperial decree regarding advancement and retreat. At the original Xing Shan Monastery (Promoting Goodness Monastery), another Golden Pavilion of Manjusri was built, with construction funds coming from the imperial treasury, and craftsmen flocking to the site. A jeweled umbrella hung from the ninth heaven, and the imperial incense was personally bestowed by one individual. Countless people seemed to emerge from the earth, and heavenly music seemed to descend from the sky. By the eleventh day of the sixth month of the ninth year of the Dali era, the imperial court issued an edict conferring upon the Great Master the title of Grand Master of the Opening Mansion with the Three Excellencies, enfeoffing him as the Duke of Su, with a fief of three thousand households, and other treatments remained the same. The honor and favor were extremely generous, and the glory became even more abundant. Lowering the dignity of the North Star to show the respect of a teacher. Bestowing the grace of banners and images, and granting jade and silk, imperial edicts filled the boxes, and imperial envoys came and went in succession. Since ancient times, there has never been such a devoutly faithful emperor as our sovereign, nor such a sincerely loyal master as our Great Master. The Great Master, from the age of twenty until the age of over fifty when he could follow his heart's desire, performed daily Dharma services and recitations at four times of the day, ascending to the imperial palace and descending to ordinary beds, without any interruption even for a moment. The cold pines on the ten thousand peaks, having endured the severe frost, appear even more verdant, from which one can see the Great Master's upright integrity. Moreover, entering the vermilion gate was like entering a humble cottage, and three times in five years he wore coarse clothing. Even when riding a Qilin (mythical Chinese creature), he was always in the purity of the nine dhyanas (meditative states). Standing alone and unyielding, like the Mani jewel of great universal color, which originally has no fixed color, the color only comes from itself, what does it have to do with me? He is truly the profound craftsman of True Words (mantras), and the great treasure of the Dharma King! Alas! A Bodhisattva should manifest without attachment, generating the mind. The Tathagata (Buddha), like a firm forest, delivers sentient beings, showing a slight illness, knowing the time of departure. On the fifteenth day of that month, he ordered his disciples to present a memorial, bidding farewell, and instructing them

大曆九年歲甲寅七月六日丁酉建

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 後事處理完畢，剃髮沐浴后，右側臥姿勢，雙腿交疊，安詳圓寂，享年七十歲，僧臘五十年。當時驟雨傾盆，天空出現小範圍的晴朗。皇帝深切哀悼，停止朝政三日。追贈絹三百匹，布二百端，錢三十萬，米麵共四百石，香油薪炭以及其他齋戒所需物品由官方供給。又賜錢二百二十五萬，用於建造靈塔，供天下人瞻仰。又敕令高品李憲誠負責辦理喪事，功德使開府儀同三司李元琮監護。於七月六日依法安葬于長安城南少陵原。當日中書門下發布敕牒，追贈司空，謚號『大辨正廣智不空三藏和上』。又派遣內給事劉仙鶴，宣讀冊文致祭。宮中拿出香木，焚燒于靈棺前，舉行荼毗之禮。寺廟池塘乾涸，花朵凋謝，預示著大師的圓寂。夢中寶幢傾倒，樓閣崩塌，是驚醒世人的警示。這如同雙林示現變白之相，洞水逆流而上的感應，難道是昔日佛陀涅槃的重現嗎？宰相百官，凡是曾經接受過大師傳授法印的人，無不哀慟。門人敕常修功德使撿校殿中監大興善寺沙門大濟等四部弟子數萬人，悲痛于黑暗長夜的降臨，哀傷于智慧明燈的永滅。不因才疏學淺，也要記錄大師的芳蹤。我如飛錫一般，有幸參與鳩摩羅什（Kumārajīva）的譯經盛會，叨承秦王的禮遇。追想高柴（Gao Chai）的哭泣，如同奢花（Shehua）濺血一般的悲痛。用無言之說來弘揚佛法，以此讚頌人中之龍。頌詞如下： 文字解說即是真言啊，天生我師翻譯貝葉經啊。 龍宮寶藏窮盡本源啊，像駕緩緩仙樂繁盛啊。 所作已辦我將涅槃啊，空留梵文經典與花鬘啊。 皇帝哀悼合葬大師啊，眾人慟哭大地也震動啊。 金剛杵在夢中出現于西方凈土啊，以此象徵我師安息于安養國啊。 法王之子驚動牛車啊，永遠超脫生死破除魔障啊。 大曆九年歲在甲寅七月六日丁酉日立。

【English Translation】 English version After the funeral arrangements were completed, with hair shaved and body bathed, he passed away peacefully in a reclining posture on his right side, with legs crossed. He was seventy years old, with fifty years of monastic life. At that time, there was a heavy downpour, and a small patch of clear sky appeared. The Emperor deeply mourned his passing, suspending court for three days. He bestowed three hundred bolts of silk, two hundred pieces of cloth, three hundred thousand coins, four hundred 'shi' (石, unit of dry measure) of rice and flour, fragrant oil, firewood, and other necessities for the monastic rituals, all provided by the government. Furthermore, he granted two million two hundred and fifty thousand coins to build a stupa (靈塔, língtǎ) for him, to be revered by all within the realm. Moreover, he ordered the high-ranking official Li Xiancheng (李憲誠) to oversee the funeral arrangements, and the meritorious official Li Yuanzong (李元琮), who held the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi (開府儀同三司), to supervise. On the sixth day of the seventh month, he was buried according to Buddhist rites at Shaoling Plain (少陵原, Shǎolíng Yuán) south of Feng (鳳). On that day, the Chancellery issued an edict posthumously granting him the title of Sikong (司空) and the posthumous name 『Great Discriminator, Broad Wisdom, Bukong Sanzang Heshang (大辨正廣智不空三藏和上)』. He also dispatched the inner attendant Liu Xianhe (劉仙鶴) to proclaim the decree and offer sacrifices. The palace provided fragrant wood to be burned before the coffin, performing the '荼毗' (tú pí, cremation) ceremony. The drying up of the temple pond and the withering of the flowers signified the end of the master's life. The falling of the dream banner and the collapse of the pavilion served as a warning to awaken the world. This was like the manifestation of the white color in the twin Sala trees (雙林, shuānglín) and the feeling of the water flowing backward in the cave, was it not a re-enactment of the Nirvana of the Buddha of old? The ministers and officials who had received the Dharma seal from the master were all in mourning. The disciples, including the monk Daji (大濟) of Daxingshan Temple (大興善寺), who was the '敕常修功德使撿校殿中監' (chì cháng xiū gōngdé shǐ jiǎnxiào diànzhōng jiān), and the fourfold assembly of disciples, numbering tens of thousands, grieved the arrival of the long night and mourned the eternal extinguishing of the lamp of wisdom. Despite my lack of talent, I will record the master's noble deeds. Like a flying tin staff, I had the honor of participating in the translation assembly of Kumārajīva (羅什, Luóshí), and I was fortunate to receive the courtesy of the Qin Emperor. I imagine the weeping of Gao Chai (高柴), as painful as the blood seen in Shehua (奢花). I will promote the unspeakable Dharma, praising the dragon among men. The eulogy reads: The explanation of words is the true mantra, Heaven gave birth to my master to translate the palm-leaf scriptures. The dragon palace exhausts the source of the treasures, the elephant carriage slowly moves with celestial music flourishing. What needs to be done is done, I am about to enter Nirvana, leaving behind only Sanskrit scriptures and garlands. The Emperor mourns and buries the master together, the people weep and the earth shakes. The Vajra pestle appears in the dream in the Western Pure Land, symbolizing my master's rest in the Land of Bliss. The son of the Dharma King startles the ox cart, forever transcending birth and death, destroying demonic obstacles. Established on the sixth day of the seventh month, Dingyou day, in the ninth year of the Dali era (774 AD).

【English Translation】 English version: Eulogy for the Portrait of the Tripitaka Master Bukong (Amoghavajra), Great Defender of Right Doctrine and Greatly Wise, of Daxingshan Temple, Granted the Title of Minister of Works by the Tang Dynasty

Composed (and written) by Bhiksu (Bhiksu, a Buddhist monk) Feixi of Caotang Temple on Mount Zigge, a disciple who received initiation

Acharya (Acharya, a spiritual teacher) initiated by the Son of Heaven, his teachings spread to the upper echelons of the nation, originally from Gṛdhrakūṭa (Gṛdhrakūṭa, possibly referring to Vulture Peak Mountain) His presence is like a dragon, his person like jade, palm leaves in hand, Sanskrit words under his gaze His heart is like a bright moon, its light reflecting on a green pond, he shed his mortal coil and departed, his portrait painted in the Lin Terrace

The three secrets are still and silent, the nine layers of heaven mourn, trumpets and flutes, four-horse carriages, all following imperial decree

Ten thousand miles of clouds are bleak, a thousand mountains of pines grieve, how can the heavens bear to take away our revered teacher? Gazing upon his snow-white face, there is no instruction, no discourse, how can we grasp his vast and boundless teachings?

Imperial Envoy Liu Xianhe's Eulogy

On the sixth day, Gui Mao, of the seventh month, Wu Xu, of the year Jia Yin, the ninth year of the Dali era, the Emperor dispatched the inner attendant Liu Xianhe to respectfully offer incense and tea in memory of the late Tripitaka Master, Great Defender of Right Doctrine and Greatly Wise. Alas, your spirit was wise and discerning, your natural gifts intelligent and perceptive. You cultivated virtuous conduct from an early age, and were born with superior causes. You stood out among the five regions of India and traveled tens of thousands of miles. Your heart contained the ocean of teachings, and your voice communicated with both Chinese and foreign lands. You transmitted scriptures on palm leaves, expounded the Yoga teachings, and greatly benefited the multitudes. You entered and exited three dynasties. The Way is beyond words, and the principle is without trace. Nirvana is eternal and still, and the supreme sages all return to it. You burned incense, bathed your body, and exhausted yourself in transformation. I have inherited the profound meaning and observed the rites of teacher and disciple. At this moment of eternal farewell, I am deeply shaken with grief. May your spirit be aware of this offering of incense and tea.

Eulogy by Prime Minister Yuan on the Day of the Tripitaka Master's Funeral

On the sixth day, Gui Mao, of the seventh month, Wu Xu, of the year Jia Yin, the ninth year of the Dali era, Yuan Zai, Vice Director of the Chancellery and concurrently holding the title of Co-signer with the Councilors of the Central Secretariat, respectfully offers incense and flowers in memory of the late Tripitaka Great Master. Alas, dwelling in form and wandering in transformation is like the wind moving a wheel. The great elements of earth and water all become my body. The perfected one knows existence without clinging to it, entrusting himself to the realm of stillness and extinction, attaining liberation and constantly weary of the dust of defilement and attachment. Alas, Great Master, you inherited the Buddha's bright cause, with profound insight and complete awakening, promoting compassion and embodying benevolence. Form and mind are one.

【English Translation】 English version On the seventh day of the seventh month of the ninth year of the Dali era, the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng announced:

An imperial edict is issued to Hui Sheng, according to his request, one edict is made:

By imperial decree, it is announced to the monk Hui Sheng. When He Shang (referring to Bukong Sanzang) was alive, Ashizi (an honorific title for Hui Sheng) particularly understood his intentions. Now it is heard that you are burning incense and guarding at the pagoda, and you received the Samantabhadra recitation method from He Shang earlier, which is respected by both朕 (I, the emperor). Strive to cultivate diligently, and after three years, come to meet朕 (I, the emperor) and discuss the principal deity method with you. The request is granted.

Entering and exiting the 金門 (jīn mén, golden gate, referring to the imperial palace), practicing in a special hall. Fortunate to receive the 明詔 (míng zhào, clear edict), frequently meeting the 九重 (jiǔ chóng, nine layers, referring to the emperor). The purple-ribboned kasaya (袈裟, jiā shā), especially bestowed with恩賜 (ēn cì, imperial favor). Not only does it honor the late teacher (Bukong Sanzang), but it also truly shines upon later learners. The humble monk is filled with grief and gratitude, and respectfully presents this memorial to express thanks and report to the emperor. Overwhelmed with trepidation.

【English Translation】 To. Sincerely joyful and respectful words.

On the 29th day of the eleventh month of the ninth year of the Dali era, the monk Huilang, a disciple who received the Dharma from the late Dabianzheng Sanzang Heshang (Great Discriminating Correct Tripitaka Master) of Daxingshan Temple, presented this memorial.

The Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying era replied: 'The master has long been diligent in his Brahma conduct and has first practiced the Dharma stream. The blessings and wisdom he possesses benefit all living beings. Therefore, I bestow upon him official robes and trouble him to express his gratitude.'

Imperial Gift of the Tablet for the Manjusri Pavilion - One Decree

By Imperial Decree. The tablet for the Great Sage Manjusri (Wenshu, Bodhisattva of Wisdom) National Protection Pavilion, written in eight-part gold script, should be sent to the translation院 (yuan, courtyard) of Daxingshan Temple.

Announced by the Imperial Envoy Li Xiancheng on the 13th day of the second month of the tenth year of the Dali era.

Memorial of Thanks for the Gift of the Tablet - One Memorial

The Shramana Huilang says: Today, I respectfully receive the Imperial Decree announced by the Imperial Envoy Li Xiancheng. A tablet for the Great Sage Manjusri Pavilion, written in eight-part gold script, is specially bestowed. The divine traces of the imperial writing are exceptionally wonderful. The name is majestic in protecting the nation, and the characters illuminate the heavens. Like magpies looking back and phoenixes circling, they seem to fly and move. The dragon's posture and martial bearing stand out from the wind and clouds. It sinks like dew in the ninth heaven and falls like a stone from a thousand ren (ancient Chinese unit of length). The golden light shines brightly, hanging together with the sun and moon. The sacred traces are modeled and rubbed, imperishable with the universe. Waiting to welcome and gaze upon it, my eyes are refreshed. Carefully considering and contemplating it, my mind and spirit are invigorated. How fortunate is this humble monk to be bathed in this imperial grace. Bearing the high heavens, I am ashamed and have no place to hide. I cannot contain my joy and trepidation. I respectfully present this memorial to express my gratitude. The Shramana Huilang is sincerely delighted and grateful. Respectful words.

Memorial presented by the Shramana Huilang of Daxingshan Temple on the 13th day of the second month of the tenth year of the Dali era.

The Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying era replied:

The true image is placed in a separate courtyard of the Sangharama (monastery). The golden inscription shines and illuminates the Great Sage. The master diligently cultivates incense and protects the country. Your expression of gratitude is noted.

I am granted a total of twenty bolts of brocade. Holding the decree, I am both joyful and fearful, feeling as if a mountain is pressing down on me.

I have been especially favored with instruction and entrusted with the intention to diligently practice day and night for the country. Therefore, this humble monk exerts himself to the utmost, disregarding his life, and dares not slacken for a moment. I pray and vow with utmost sincerity to repay the Emperor's kindness and hope to reciprocate this special favor. I am overjoyed beyond measure.

A memorial expressing gratitude for reciting and upholding the Usnisa Vijaya Dharani (with reply) Shramana Huilang (Monk Huilang) reports: 'I respectfully receive the Emperor's gracious edict, ordering all monks and nuns in the realm to recite and uphold the Buddha-Usnisa-Vijaya-Dharani. This is the heart and eyes of all Buddhas, the ferry for all living beings. Your Majesty receives the Buddha's entrustment and promotes the Dharma's teachings. Huilang, being in the monastic order and also serving as a close attendant, with a sincere heart, is truly surprised and delighted. I respectfully think that Your Majesty's plans align with the sacred compassion, secretly assisting living beings, so that the realm of benevolence and longevity can be realized, just in this one sentence. Spreading boundless goodness to pacify all nations. Even the mountains, rivers, ghosts, and spirits...'

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：寇賊梟首伏誅，捷報頻傳。八個州已經收復，海外通道開闢，萬國前來朝拜，四方夷族進貢。惠朗等人無比慶幸，特派遣中使李憲誠奉上表章，陳述慶賀之事，以稟告陛下。沙門惠朗等人誠惶誠恐，謹言上奏。 大曆十一年十一月二十八日 大興善寺沙門惠朗等上表 寶應元聖文武皇帝答覆說： 靈曜（人名，指叛亂者）狂妄叛逆，違抗朝廷法度。軍隊四面圍剿，寇賊如烏雲般潰散，為首的兇徒被擒獲。汴州得以再次安定。所賀之事，朕已知曉。 故功德使涼國公李將軍輓歌詞二首 前左領軍衛兵曹參軍翰林待詔趙遷：盛世逢唐堯，功業如文子軍。多次承受三位皇帝的恩寵，功勛堪比古代五位賢臣。畫角聲悲涼地吹響，愁苦的笳聲在清晨的雲中嗚咽。忠義之士的骸骨，今日卻要埋葬在這荒涼的墳墓中。大樹在悲風中搖曳，將軍一去不復返。撫摸棺木，心中更加悲痛，面對墓穴，眼淚難以止住。拂曉的月光照耀著佈滿霜的草地，幽深的泉水掩蓋著夜晚的墳臺。更聽到歌者伴著哭泣，觸目所及，無不令人感到悲哀。 請繼續設定功德使的表章一首 沙門惠朗進言：惠朗聽說，只有人為自己種植福田，只有福利才能使人受益。如果缺少主管之人，善事就無法增長。我恭敬地想到，寶應元聖文武皇帝陛下，所承受的天命，是爲了天下百姓。隔斷邪惡的道路，護持正法。萬國都感到慶幸，豈止是京城。自從國家特設功德使以來，眾人的福報日益增長，各種兇險及時消滅。皇室興起崇高的庇佑，僧侶們沒有遭受挫折侮辱的憂慮。只有上天知道，世人很少領悟啊！自從元琮（人名，前功德使）去世后，帝京的僧侶們互相看著，神情黯然，舉目四望，更加悲傷，暗自落淚。又擔心惡魔獲得稱心如意的機會，外道得到揚眉吐氣的時機，正教衰落遲緩，邪惡的樹林茂盛生長。懇請聖上慈悲，選擇一位賢能的臣子來擔任功德使的職務，使國家永遠擁有革新的福報，解除僧侶們的憂慮。

【English Translation】 English version: The bandit leader was captured and beheaded, and victories were frequently reported. Eight prefectures have been recovered, overseas routes have been opened, all nations come to pay tribute, and the barbarians from all directions offer tribute. Huilang and others are extremely delighted and have specially sent the envoy Li Xiancheng to present a memorial to report the congratulations to His Majesty. The monks Huilang and others are sincerely joyful and respectfully submit this report. November 28th, the eleventh year of the Dali era Memorial presented by the monks Huilang and others from Daxingshan Temple Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu replied: Ling Yao (name, referring to the rebel) was wildly rebellious, defying the court's laws. The army surrounded and suppressed him from all sides, the bandits collapsed like clouds, and the chief culprit was captured. Bianzhou has been restored to stability. The matters you congratulate me on, I am aware of. Elegy for the late Duke of Liang, General Li, former Commissioner of Merits, two poems Zhao Qian, former Staff Officer of the Left Leading Army Guard and Compiler of the Hanlin Academy: He flourished in the era of Emperor Yao of the Tang Dynasty, and his achievements were like the army of Wenzi. He repeatedly received the favor of three emperors, and his merits were comparable to the five virtuous ministers of ancient times. The sound of the bugle blows sadly, and the sorrowful reed pipe sobs in the morning clouds. The bones of a loyal and righteous man of the holy dynasty are to be buried in this desolate tomb today. The tall trees sway in the sorrowful wind, and the general will never return. Touching the coffin, the heart is even more painful, and facing the tomb, tears are difficult to restrain. The dawn moon shines on the frost-covered grass, and the deep spring covers the night platform. Furthermore, hearing the singers crying along, everything in sight becomes sorrowful. Memorial requesting the continued appointment of a Commissioner of Merits, one piece The monk Huilang speaks: Huilang has heard that only by planting fields of merit for oneself can one benefit from merit. If there is a lack of an official in charge, good deeds cannot grow. I respectfully think of His Majesty, the Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu Emperor, whose mandate from heaven is for the sake of all people. He separates evil paths and protects the righteous Dharma. All nations are fortunate, not just the capital city. Since the state specially established the Commissioner of Merits, the blessings of the people have increased daily, and all kinds of dangers have been eliminated in time. The imperial family has risen with lofty protection, and the monks have no worries about suffering setbacks and humiliation. Only Heaven knows, but few people understand! Since Yuan Cong (name, former Commissioner of Merits) passed away, the monks of the imperial capital look at each other with gloomy expressions, and looking around, they are even more saddened, secretly shedding tears. They also fear that demons will seize the opportunity to their liking, and heretics will have the chance to raise their eyebrows, the righteous teachings will decline slowly, and the evil forests will grow luxuriantly. I beg Your Majesty's compassion to select a virtuous minister to serve as the Commissioner of Merits, so that the country may forever have the blessings of renewal and relieve the monks' worries.

【English Translation】 English version:

People harbor sorrow for the past. Herewith, I respectfully attach the memorial of Supervisor Li Xiancheng, stating our gratitude and reporting it. My heart trembles with extreme fear. The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Huilang speaks with sincere trepidation. On a certain day in the twelfth month of the eleventh year of the Dali era, the Shramana Huilang of Daxingshan Temple (Daxingshan Temple: Temple of Great Flourishing Goodness) submits this memorial. Memorial Thanking for the Tea Offered at the Vegetarian Feast Shramana Huilang speaks: I respectfully report that on the fourteenth day of this month, a vegetarian feast was held for a thousand monks, and two hundred strings of tea were bestowed. Today, I have again received the imperial decree announced by the imperial envoy, comforting us disciples, and the heavenly fragrance pervades, benefiting both the living and the deceased. Huilang and others are sincerely sorrowful and fearful, our hearts and souls overwhelmed. Receiving the legacy of our late teacher and bathed in Your Majesty's special grace, if divine principle exists and can mysteriously sense Your Majesty's kindness, then the repayment of tying grass and bearing rings will surely come through this fragrant tea. We are unable to bear this extreme kindness like mountains and seas. Herewith, I respectfully attach the memorial of the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng, stating our gratitude and reporting it. Shramana Huilang speaks with sincere trepidation. On the tenth day of the sixth month of the twelfth year of the Dali era, the Shramana Huilang and others submit this memorial. Memorial Congratulating on the Spring Snow Shramana Huilang and others speak: Recently, because of the lack of rain and snow last winter, Your Majesty's sacred heart was worried. You widely promoted meritorious blessings, all for the sake of the people. As a result, spring clouds sprinkled down, and pure white snow presented an auspicious beginning, the whole world filled with moisture, and the grace spread without limit. The dim dust naturally cleared, and a bountiful year can be expected. Huilang and fifty-three other monks, whenever in the monastery, pray and recite for the country. Since the beginning of the first month, we have encouraged each other. Some have not eaten for seven days, and some have forgotten to sleep for many days. We cherish this small act of goodness to repay Your Majesty's special kindness. Bathed in the grace of the Yao era, we still feel ashamed. Our hearts are filled with extreme joy. Herewith, I respectfully attach the memorial of the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng, stating our congratulations and reporting it. Shramana Huilang and others speak with sincere joy and happiness. On the seventeenth day of the first month of the thirteenth year of the Dali era. The Shramana Huilang and others of Daxingshan Temple (Daxingshan Temple: Temple of Great Flourishing Goodness) submit this memorial. Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu replied: Recently, because the season should have brought rain and snow, but there has been no snow since winter, My heart deeply hoped for a good year and worried about the lack of rain. Your prayers were sincere, and the sweet rain has universally descended. This is the result of sincere feeling, and it should be used to comfort you. I know of your congratulations.

A Memorial Praising the Ordination of the Korean King's Daughter

From the Sangha of the capital city, the Venerable Hui Lang and others of the Daxingshan Temple: We respectfully received the Sacred Edict of the sixth day of this month, permitting the ordination of the eldest daughter of the King of Korea. What a great grace it is to allow a 'heavenly grandchild' (referring to a noble woman) to renounce the world, with the Empress (referring to the current empress) following the virtuous example of Mahaprajapati (Buddha's aunt and foster mother), glorifying the teachings of Shakyamuni. We respectfully admire Your Majesty's supremely wise heart, benefiting beings and propagating the Dharma, which even the vastness of heaven and earth cannot compare to. She will shave off her cicada-wing-like beautiful temples, remove her cloud-like hair, take off her jewel-adorned precious garments, and don the kasaya (袈裟, monastic robe). All beings in the three realms will be blessed by this merit. The Sangha throughout the land is filled with boundless joy and gratitude. We respectfully submit this memorial with the envoy Wei Xinglin to express our sentiments. The Shramanas Hui Lang and others, with sincere joy and reverence, respectfully submit.

Ninth day of the tenth month, thirteenth year of the Dali era.

The Shramanas Hui Lang and others, senior monks of the Daxingshan Temple in the capital, submit this memorial.

A Memorial from the Shramana Tan Zhen Praising the Bestowal of Gifts for Rain Prayer at Nanshan (with Reply)

Shramana Tan Zhen reports: Recently, because the timely rain had not yet fallen, Your Sacred Heart was filled with concern. I especially received the Imperial Order, instructing me to go to Nanshan to pray for rain. I exerted all my efforts, hoping to accord with the will of Heaven. However, the Dharma had no miraculous effect, and the dragon gods did not respond, vainly troubling Your Wise Thoughts and wasting the offered provisions. Since there was no joyful news, I should indeed bear the responsibility. Your Sacred Compassion was generous and forgiving, and the bestowed gifts were especially abundant, receiving seventy rolls of brocade. Under the heavens and upon the earth, I know not how to repay this profound kindness. How could I have imagined that in a time of worry and resentment, I would suddenly receive such great favor from Your Majesty. I am filled with boundless joy and shame. I respectfully submit this memorial with the envoy Li Xiancheng to express our gratitude. The Shramana Tan Zhen, with sincere fear and joy, respectfully reports.

Third day of the eighth month, twelfth year of the Dali era. Shramana Tan Zhen of the Qinglong Temple submits this memorial.

The Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu replied:

Master has long diligently cultivated the Brahma-conduct, and has always been known for his sincerity. He has piously established a Dharma-place and sincerely prayed for timely rain. A small reward has been given, yet you trouble yourself with this memorial of thanks.

賀湫所祈雨表一首

沙門覺超惠照等言。今月十五日中使楊貴玢至奉宣　聖旨。令覺超等於南山湫所七日祈雨者　陛下恭己育物。慮甘澤于夫時。以人為心。閔農殖于望歲。遂使有靈必禱神蹟克祈。而萬姓荷慈愛之　恩。群生欣父母之義。比者雨雖罕降百草皆滋。旱不及憂五穀咸茂。此即　陛下順天之道潛運。體元之化內諧。覺超等猶愚不任慶美之甚。人皆含識。豈勝歡戴之極。覺超伏奉　聖旨。便結道場。晝夜精誠。以副　文思之旨。莫敢懈怠。用彰　光宅之令。持誦初經一宿。雲霧忽洽于山川。啟請未盡兩辰。霈澤遽灑于城闕。是知堯年之感。玄應在乎須臾。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 《等經》。飛錫（僧人名）認為，精勤祈禱停止降雨，是爲了輔助聖上的心意。聽說帝堯（古代聖賢君主）那樣至聖的人，也無法避免水澇雨多的情況。《大云寶經》中也有祈請停止降雨的記載。近來雨水稍微有些連綿不斷，陛下將憂慮放在心上，親自在金人像前表達心意，每天在玉殿中焚香祈禱，於是晴朗的光芒上升，穿透重重雲層照耀四方，惠風吹拂，掃除八方的霧氣。豐收可以期待，糧倉將永遠充盈。這些都是陛下精誠所至，我們僧人哪裡知道這些呢？所有僧人和俗人都無比感動和感激。謹隨中使李憲誠奉上奏表，陳述祝賀之意，以稟告陛下。沙門飛錫等誠惶誠恐，謹言。

沙門覺超（僧人名）、惠照（僧人名）等稟告說，今月十五日中使楊貴玢（人名）到來，奉宣聖旨，命令覺超等在南山湫所（地名）祈雨七天。陛下恭敬自身，養育萬物，時時關心百姓，以百姓爲念，擔憂農業生產，盼望豐收。因此，有靈驗的地方必定祈禱，神蹟必定應驗。萬姓承受慈愛的恩澤，眾生欣喜如父母般的關懷。近來雨水雖然很少，但各種草木都生長茂盛，旱情不足為慮，五穀都生長旺盛。這正是陛下順應天道的潛移默化，內在調和元氣的功勞。覺超等愚昧無知，無法充分表達慶賀讚美之情。所有有意識的人，都無比歡欣和感激。覺超等恭敬地接受聖旨，立即結成道場，日夜精誠祈禱，以符合陛下求賢若渴的心意，不敢懈怠，以彰顯陛下光照天下的美德。持誦經典才一個晚上，雲霧忽然在山川間瀰漫；祈請還不到兩個時辰，充沛的雨水就灑落在京城。由此可知，堯帝時代的感應，玄妙的應驗就在須臾之間。

【English Translation】 English version 'Etc. Sutras'. Feixi (name of a monk) believes that diligently praying for the cessation of rain is to assist the sacred heart of the Emperor. It is said that even the most sage Emperor Yao (an ancient sage ruler) could not avoid excessive flooding and rain. The 'Great Cloud Treasure Sutra' also contains records of praying for the cessation of rain. Recently, the rain has been slightly continuous. Your Majesty takes the worries to heart, personally expresses your concerns before the golden statue, and burns incense in the jade palace every day. As a result, the clear light rises, penetrates the heavy clouds, and shines in all directions. The gentle breeze blows, sweeping away the mist in all directions. A good harvest can be expected, and the granaries will always be full. These are all due to Your Majesty's sincere efforts. How could we monks know these things? All monks and laypeople are extremely moved and grateful. We respectfully send the envoy Li Xiancheng to present a memorial to express our congratulations and report to Your Majesty. The monks Feixi, etc., are sincerely fearful and say with respect.

September 1st, the twelfth year of Dali

The monks of the Buddhist community in the capital, Shamen Feixi, present this memorial

Emperor Yuan Sheng Wenwu of Baoying replied:

Master, you are the leader of the monastic community, and have been practicing in the monastery for a long time, diligently forming karmic connections, and accumulating blessings for the people. This is blessed by the true saints, and the past gloom is gradually dissipating. You should be more devout and let the blessings spread to the country. We acknowledge what you have congratulated us on.

A Memorial for Praying for Rain at Qiu Suo

The monks Juechao (name of a monk), Huizhao (name of a monk), etc., report that on the fifteenth day of this month, the envoy Yang Guibin (name of a person) arrived and proclaimed the imperial decree, ordering Juechao, etc., to pray for rain at Nanshan Qiu Suo (name of a place) for seven days. Your Majesty respectfully cultivates yourself and nurtures all things, caring for the people at all times, taking the people to heart, worrying about agricultural production, and hoping for a good harvest. Therefore, prayers are offered wherever there is spiritual efficacy, and miracles are sure to be answered. The people receive the grace of loving-kindness, and all beings rejoice in the care like that of parents. Although the rain has been scarce recently, all kinds of plants are growing luxuriantly, and there is no need to worry about drought, and the five grains are growing vigorously. This is precisely due to Your Majesty's subtle influence in accordance with the Way of Heaven, and the internal harmony of the primordial energy. Juechao, etc., are ignorant and unable to fully express our congratulations and praise. All conscious beings are extremely joyful and grateful. Juechao, etc., respectfully accept the imperial decree, immediately establish a monastery, and pray sincerely day and night, in order to meet Your Majesty's desire for talented people, and dare not slacken, in order to demonstrate Your Majesty's virtue of illuminating the world. After reciting the scriptures for only one night, clouds and mist suddenly filled the mountains and rivers; before the prayer was finished for two hours, abundant rain fell on the capital. From this, it can be seen that the response of the Yao era, the mysterious response is in an instant.

A Memorial Congratulating on Rain Cessation (with Reply)

The Shramana（Buddhist monk） Juechao (name of the monk) and others report: We respectfully received the imperial decree proclaimed by the imperial envoy Wei Xinglin on the twenty-seventh day of the eighth month. Because the continuous rain had been prolonged, an order was issued to stop the rain. Juechao (name of the monk) and others immediately obeyed the imperial order, and became more devout and earnest, praying to the Dragon God. Day and night, we were sincere and exhausted our efforts. Thanks to Your Majesty's (Emperor) divine power, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the autumn crops all received abundant fruits. We respectfully praise Your Majesty's (Emperor) holy virtue that moves Heaven and nurtures all things. All the people in the land are rejoicing, and all the officials are celebrating. The monks in the monastery are extremely joyful. We respectfully send the memorial with the imperial envoy Yue Ling to present our congratulations and report to Your Majesty. The Shramana（Buddhist monk） Juechao (name of the monk) and others are sincerely joyful and respectful.

You, Master, are the leader of the monastic community, and have been practicing in the monastery for a long time, diligently cultivating Buddhist affinities, and praying for the well-being of the people. This is the blessing of the true saints, and the cloudy weather has gradually dissipated. You should be more devout, so that blessings and celebrations may flow to the family and the country. Your congratulations are acknowledged.

A Memorial Congratulating on the Defeat of Tubo (with Reply)

The Shramana（Buddhist monk） Juechao (name of the monk) and others report: We respectfully saw in the public announcement that the generals under Ziyi defeated Tubo (an ancient regime in western China), capturing several thousand prisoners and beheading tens of thousands. We have heard that punishing rebellion by following the way of Heaven, launching an army will surely succeed; restraining wickedness with righteousness, actions will not fail to be victorious. Previously, the ugly people of Tubo (an ancient regime in western China) broke the alliance and dared to betray the grace of the country, invading from the border and occupying the land. We respectfully praise Your Majesty's (Emperor) holy strategy that reaches the divine, and Your Majesty's (Emperor) divine power that spreads far and wide, with a momentum like splitting bamboo, like a prairie fire. The enemy's leaders were captured, and corpses filled the fields. Juechao (name of the monk) and others are fortunate to be in the Buddhist community, and are pleased to see the country at peace, and are extremely joyful. We respectfully send the memorial to present our congratulations and report to Your Majesty. The Shramana（Buddhist monk） Juechao (name of the monk) and others are sincerely joyful and respectful.

Memorial on Praying for Rain at the Jade Maiden Pool (with Reply)

The Shramana Huichao reports: I, Huichao, received the oral decree conveyed by the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng on the 26th day of the previous month, ordering me to go to the Jade Maiden Pool in Zhouzhi County to set up incense and pray for rain. My practice is lacking, and I have not been able to cultivate diligently, yet I have been honored to proclaim the Emperor's will. The response of the mountain and river spirits has not failed my prayers. As soon as the altar was established, the stream roared; when the Sharira(relics) were cast, the rain was as abundant as silk threads. Overnight, the grass and trees increased in splendor; within a few days, the rivers and fields were filled with water. The grace has penetrated the parched lands, and the joy has encompassed both humans and spirits. I, Your Majesty, with your sagely virtue moving Heaven, the grace of Heaven has descended first. How could it be that the sincerity of a humble person like me, Huichao, could have evoked such a response? I am truly overjoyed and celebrate with great delight. I respectfully take the opportunity of the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng's entry into the court to present this memorial, stating my congratulations to inform Your Majesty. The Shramana Huichao reports with sincerity and trepidation.

Presented by the Shramana Huichao of the Inner Taoist Temple on the 5th day of the second month of the ninth year of Dali.

The Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu replied:

I am concerned about the people and deeply hope for timely rain. I have dispatched people to the villages and towns to pray at the various sacred shrines. And the auspicious rain has fallen continuously, barely ten days have passed. The master has long been diligent and pure, diligently cleaning the Taoist temple. A good year can be expected, and I am even more delighted and celebrate this. I am aware of what is being congratulated.

Same as the previous text

The Shramanas Tanzhen and others report: We received the Sacred Decree conveyed by the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng on the 29th day of the previous month, ordering Tanzhen and others to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name below the Jade Maiden Pool in front of the temple to assist in the prayer for rain ceremony. Your Majesty, because there was no accumulated snow in winter and a prolonged drought in spring, you were concerned about the livelihood of the people and prayed remotely with sincerity. As soon as the imperial envoys began to set up incense, there was not a speck of dust in the sky. When the Sacred Decree was proclaimed, a miraculous change suddenly occurred. The mountain wind howled, as if thunder was rumbling; the pool water was deep and still, as if dragons were leaping within. Then, a heavy rain fell, and abundant rain showered the rivers and fields. The nourishing moisture began to flow, and the grass and trees sprouted. The people rejoiced and were grateful, which is difficult to express in words. Tanzhen and others study the Buddhist path, understand the principles, and live in seclusion in the mountain valleys. We are fortunate to receive Your Majesty's grace, and we only add to our joy and delight. We are truly overjoyed and celebrate with great delight. We respectfully take the opportunity of the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng's

【English Translation】 English version: Presenting the memorial of congratulations. The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Tan Zhen and others speak with sincere fear and trepidation.

On the third day of the second month of the ninth year of the Dali era, the Shramana Tan Zhen of Xianyou Temple in Zhouzhi County presented a memorial.

Reply from Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu (the same as before)

Dao Run of Lingying Terrace presents a memorial congratulating the pacification of Henan

Shramana Dao Run and others, who are in charge of the Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) Dharma practice at Lingying Terrace, say: We have heard that the generals of Henan have captured Bianzhou. Tian Huang (personal name) was utterly defeated, and Ling Yao (personal name) was captured alive. The followers of Xiao Jing collapsed within a week. The poison of wasps and scorpions has vanished like melting ice. Heaven, earth, people, and gods are all celebrating. We humbly believe that Your Majesty, the Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu Emperor, follows the righteous teachings of the Dharma King and practices the great compassion of Guanyin, cherishing all living beings and fearing that even one creature might be lost. Those rebellious villains stubbornly defied Heaven, and it was not Heaven's punishment but their own actions that brought about their downfall. Now, the rivers are clear, the seas are calm, the sun shines, and the mountains are clear. We have also heard that the Heavenly Master still has some remaining strength and that capturing Chengsi is not far off. How immensely fortunate are these humble monks at this time! Relying on Your Majesty's grace, the rivers and seas are not deep. We cannot express our joy enough. We respectfully attach the envoy Li Xiancheng to present this memorial of congratulations. Shramana Dao Run speaks with sincere congratulations and joy.

Shramana Dao Run, in charge of the Dharma practice at Lingying Terrace, presents a memorial

Presenting a memorial of frightened pigeon feathers

Your subject Xiancheng says, with sincere fear and trepidation, deserving of death. We humbly believe that Your Majesty governs the world with filial piety, and therefore the mountains and rivers bestow blessings. Your trustworthiness extends to insects, and therefore scales and feathers present auspicious signs. Now, the Buddhist scriptures record that frightened pigeons avoid eagles, and even the shadow of their bodies causes trembling that is not yet gone. But the shadow of the Tathagata (Buddha) eliminates all fear. The person and bones are already decayed, but the remaining feathers of the pigeon still exist. Its body is light, its color is dark blue, it does not melt in fire, and it flies in the wind. Your subject Xiancheng has served in the imperial court for a long time and has personally observed that the feathers do not burn when burned, knowing that Buddhism has not declined. From the Zhou dynasty to the Tang dynasty, it represents the even more distant imperial kalpa. The loyalty of a dog or horse is like offering celery. The feelings of a crow or bird are like offering a small gift with shame. Although the matter is very small, it is not

【English Translation】 English version: Li Xiancheng (Lǐ Xiànchéng, a person's name) presents a memorial to report congratulations to inform the Emperor. Your subject, Qiancheng (Qiánchéng, a person's name), with joy and sincerity, respectfully reports. October 29th, the eleventh year of the Dali era (776 AD) Your subject Zhao Qian (Zhào Qiān, a person's name), formerly of the Left Leading Army Guard, Compiler of the Qiu Cao Academy, and Imperial Scholar-in-Waiting, presents this memorial. A memorial from the Shramana Yuan Jiao (Yuán Jiǎo, a monk's name) requesting permission to ordain monks. The Shramana Yuan Jiao respectfully offers his greetings. I humbly wish Your Majesty boundless blessings. Yuan Jiao was born in Fuzhou, a remote and humble place. Throughout my long life, I have been fortunate to serve in the imperial retinue. Since returning to the capital from Lingwu, I have had the honor of participating in the Buddhist ceremonies at Chengming Hall. Following the teachings of my late master, I have dedicated myself to the country, disregarding my own well-being. I am ashamed to have made no significant contributions, and I have already reached the age of following my heart's desires. I am afflicted with illness and have no one to care for me. I look up to Your Majesty's compassion and humbly request special consideration. My nephew, Xiao Chang (Xiào Cháng, a person's name), has long received Your Majesty's grace and holds a position in the court. He has indeed not rendered meritorious service to the country, but he has the aspiration to become a monk. Yuan Jiao knows his true intentions and recommends him without regard to kinship. Even while living at home, he diligently recites scriptures and studies the teachings. I humbly request that Your Majesty's grace extend to him and that you grant him special favor. I hope to exhaust my remaining strength to repay Your Majesty's kindness forever. I am filled with utmost sincerity and trepidation. I respectfully take the occasion of Your Majesty's birthday to attach this request to the report of the imperial envoy Wei Xinglin (Wèi Xíng Lín, a person's name) to inform Your Majesty. If Your Majesty grants permission, please forward it to the relevant authorities for processing. I have included a list of the relevant individuals below. The Shramana Yuan Jiao reports with utmost sincerity and trepidation. October 9th, the thirteenth year of the Dali era (778 AD) The former chanting monk of the Changsheng Hall, abbot of Baoshou Temple, Shramana Yuan Jiao, presents this memorial. A memorial expressing gratitude for the posthumous gifts bestowed upon the late master Hui Jian (Huì Jiān, a monk's name). The Shramana Chang Qing (Cháng Qīng, a monk's name) and others report. We respectfully received the imperial envoy Mei Tinggui (Měi Tíng Guī, a person's name) who conveyed Your Majesty's condolences and presented twenty bolts of silk as a gift to the deceased monk Hui Jian. Kneeling, we receive this with shame and trepidation, grief and fear intermingled. The Shramana Chang Qing and others are filled with utmost sincerity and trepidation. Chang Qing and the others were disciples of Hui Jian for many years. Our practice of the Way is not diligent, and we have failed to live up to the expectations of our master. We are deeply grateful for Your Majesty's compassion, which has extended to us, humble monks, through this special gift. We are overwhelmed with sorrow and gratitude. We respectfully present this memorial to express our gratitude and to inform Your Majesty. The Shramana Chang Qing and others report with utmost sincerity and trepidation. June 12th, the seventh year of the Dali era (772 AD) Chang Qing and others, disciples of the late chanting monk Hui Jian of the Inner Temple.

【English Translation】 English version Memorial

Three Pieces Including a Song and Preface for Ascending the Ladder of Knives, a Eulogy, and a Memorial of Thanks

On the 28th day of the tenth month in the year Wushen (戊申) of the Dalí (大曆) era, the third year of the Great Tang Dynasty, by imperial decree, a ritual site was established at Zhangjing Monastery (章敬寺). At that time, the Jiangdong (江東) monk Chonghui (崇惠) ascended the ladder of knives, climbed the tree of swords, traversed the cauldron of oil and charcoal, and sat upon the bed of awls and swords. On this day, hundreds of officials rushed like stars, and ten thousand people gathered like clouds. All were astonished and sighed at this unprecedented event. Zhao (釗) bowed his head and raised his feet, composing a song:

A hundred feet in the air, leaning on a ladder of swords, A thousand peaks turn back, connecting to the rainbow in the sky. The fierce furnace shines with frost, the bird path is pure, Dragon Spring (龍泉) golden rings give birth to rainbows. Knives become trees, swords become mountains, Arhats fly with their staffs, wandering in between. One step, one climb, waving hands to grasp the fur, Seven stars shine brightly, with speckled light.

The Ganjiang (干將) sword's blade is scattered with green light,

The venerable one treads upon it without danger.

The Moye (鏌耶) knife's sharp point and keen edge can cut hair,

Now treading upon it requires no effort.

White as snow, green as ice, Hundreds of layers of tortoise shell and fish scales. The four divisions watch, trembling with fear, At the peak of ten thousand仞 (ren) stands a monk. The dark iron has a green snake color, The crimson [廿/竦] is towering, cold and precarious. Without injury or damage, it is difficult to fathom, This is the power of great compassion and liberation. Since ancient times, military officials have boasted of swordsmanship, Dancing with them, wielding them, never missing. Looking at them, their courage is seized, their bodies tremble, Who says they can wave a halberd and move the white sun? Li Guang (李廣) of old is said to have had a hundred battles' worth of merit, How does it compare to seeing such divine power today? Purple robes fluttering, flying into the sky, Appearing and disappearing, moving horizontally and vertically among the white blades, The light of jade is dim, The essence of light is harmonious and sharp.

Eulogy for Chonghui (崇惠) Ascending the Ladder of Knives (with Preface)

Since Emperor Han Ming (漢明) was moved by a dream and the scriptures spread, tearing the net in Luoyang (雒陽), and the Qin ruler (秦主) doubted Kumarajiva (羅什) displaying a precious mirror inside a bottle, Fu Yi (傅弈)'s words mocked, writing 'Essays on Rectification'. Chonghui (崇惠) urged away evil and manifested divine power at Zhangjing Monastery (章敬寺). The event was thus: a mysterious wooden structure soared a hundred feet high. It had two levels. Precious blades were intertwined. Golden bells surrounded it on four sides. Fiery furnaces had eight openings. The pool was decorated with lotus flowers. Sharp seats and poisonous points were arranged along the railings.

楯之內。是日也天瑩增明。風塵不起。凝霜聚散。日氣和喧。於時敕賜法衣。親使監睹。國師宰輔。文武雄班。鄰國弼諧。龍象法侶。黃冠朱麾眾類同赴法筵。士庶盈衢。側足瞻顧。佛聲震發聞於十方。眾寶爐煙如雲如蓋。於是手摧劍樹。腳碎刀林。猛焰煙然。于中來往。池敷坐具。似涌蓮蓮開。眾毒攢鋒。遍行收食。僧儀不墜。澡嗽散之。大眾咸欽嘆未曾有。仆親觀盛事。喜不自勝。同沐慈雲。賴沾美澤。火炬高舉破闇瞑山。開豁濁流。歸乎法海。頌曰。

大哉正覺　　神力難思　　夢感明帝 　騰蘭降輝　　群邪舍執　　稽首歸依 　秦殿鏡寶　　瓶顯降疑　　傅弈辭誚 　辨正摧之　　沙門崇惠　　止毀排非 　水火刃毒　　對驗希奇 　善哉一期之盛事　　將來千載而不移

謝賜紫衣並賀表一首

沙門崇惠言。昨奉觀軍容使宣進止。令于章敬寺登劍樹渡火坑。伏奉中使鞏庭玉宣進止賜紫僧衣一副者。崇惠聞。有愿不孤。觀音之慈速。克念斯應。能仁之力雄。所以入火不焚以期必效。履刀不割方奏明徴。不謂大聖加威。天恩曲被。遂使觀身法界。蒙熾焰而無傷。舉足道場。凌霜刃而不沮。實冀妖氛永息。業海長清。況道俗同歡。人天畢睹。此則　陛下至誠之所感也。豈微僧一志之所為乎。叨沐

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 楯之內（地點名）。這一天，天空清澈明亮，沒有風塵，凝結的霜氣時聚時散，陽光溫暖和諧。當時，皇帝敕賜法衣，親自派使者監視，國師宰輔，文武百官，鄰國使節，以及眾多的僧侶，都一同赴法會。百姓擠滿了道路，踮起腳瞻仰。佛的聲音震動十方。各種寶爐中的香菸，像雲彩一樣，像傘蓋一樣。於是（我）手摧毀劍樹，腳踩碎刀林，猛烈的火焰熄滅。在火焰中來往自如。水池鋪設坐具，像蓮花涌出開放。各種毒物聚集鋒芒，（我）遍行收食。僧人的威儀沒有墜落，洗浴后散去。大眾都欽佩讚歎前所未有。我親自觀看這盛大的事情，喜悅得無法控制自己，一同沐浴在慈悲的雲朵中，依賴沾染美好的恩澤。火炬高高舉起，照破黑暗的山，開闢渾濁的河流，歸向佛法的海洋。頌詞說： 偉大啊，真正的覺悟，神力難以思議，（漢明）帝夢中感應，騰蘭（指攝摩騰和竺法蘭）降臨光輝，各種邪惡放棄執著，叩頭歸依。 秦殿（秦始皇的宮殿）的鏡子是寶物，瓶子顯現（神蹟）消除疑慮，傅弈（唐朝反佛人士）的言辭是嘲諷，辯論匡正摧毀了他，沙門（僧人）崇惠，阻止譭謗排斥，水火刀刃毒藥，對照驗證稀奇。 好啊，這是一期的盛事，將來千年也不會改變。

謝賜紫衣並賀表一首

沙門崇惠說。昨天奉觀軍容使傳達旨意，讓我在章敬寺登上劍樹，渡過火坑。恭敬地接受中使鞏庭玉傳達的旨意，賜予紫色的僧衣一套。崇惠聽說，有願望就不會孤單，觀音菩薩的慈悲迅速，克制念頭就能應驗，能仁（釋迦牟尼佛）的力量雄厚。所以進入火中不會被焚燒，以期必定應驗。踩在刀上不會被割傷，方能奏明徵兆。沒想到大聖（佛）加持威力，天恩特別施與。於是使我觀身的法界，蒙受熾熱的火焰而沒有受傷，舉足的道場，凌駕霜刃而不退縮。實在希望妖氛永遠止息，業海永遠清凈。何況道俗一同歡喜，人天都看到了。這都是陛下至誠所感動的啊！哪裡是我這個微不足道的僧人一個人的力量所能做到的呢？叨蒙（恩賜）

【English Translation】 English version Shunouchi (place name). On this day, the sky was clear and bright, there was no dust in the wind, and the congealed frost gathered and dispersed, the sunlight was warm and harmonious. At that time, the emperor ordered the bestowal of Dharma robes, and personally sent an envoy to supervise. The national preceptor, the prime minister, the civil and military officials, the envoys from neighboring countries, and many monks all went to the Dharma assembly together. The people crowded the roads, craning their necks to look up. The sound of the Buddha shook the ten directions. The smoke from the various treasure stoves was like clouds, like canopies. Then (I) destroyed the sword tree with my hands and crushed the knife forest with my feet, and the fierce flames were extinguished. I came and went freely in the flames. The pool was laid with seats, like lotus flowers springing up and opening. All kinds of poisons gathered their sharp points, and (I) went around collecting and eating them. The demeanor of the monks did not fall, and they dispersed after bathing. The masses all admired and praised what had never happened before. I personally watched this grand event, and I was overjoyed and could not control myself. Together, we bathed in the clouds of compassion and relied on the beautiful grace. The torch was raised high, illuminating the dark mountains, opening up the turbid rivers, and returning to the ocean of Dharma. The verse says: Great is true enlightenment, the divine power is inconceivable, Emperor Ming (of Han) felt it in a dream, Tenglan (referring to Kasyapa Matanga and Dharmaratna) descended with glory, all evils abandoned their attachments, and bowed their heads in refuge. The mirror in the Qin Palace (palace of Qin Shi Huang) is a treasure, the vase manifested (miracles) to dispel doubts, Fu Yi's (anti-Buddhist figure in the Tang Dynasty) words were ridicule, debate and rectification destroyed him, the Shramana (monk) Chonghui, stopped slander and rejection, water, fire, knives, poison, contrast and verification are rare. Good, this is a grand event of this period, and it will not change for thousands of years to come.

A memorial thanking the bestowal of purple robes and congratulations

The Shramana Chonghui said. Yesterday, I received the order from the military commissioner to ascend the sword tree and cross the fire pit at Zhangjing Temple. I respectfully accepted the order conveyed by the envoy Gong Tingyu, bestowing a set of purple monastic robes. Chonghui heard that if there is a wish, it will not be lonely, the compassion of Avalokiteshvara is swift, restraining thoughts will bring response, the power of Shakyamuni Buddha is strong. Therefore, entering the fire will not be burned, in order to surely be effective. Stepping on the knife will not be cut, in order to clearly show the signs. Unexpectedly, the Great Sage (Buddha) added power, and the heavenly grace was specially bestowed. Thus, the Dharma realm of my body was covered by the blazing flames without injury, and the Bodhimanda of my feet surpassed the frosty blades without retreating. I sincerely hope that the evil atmosphere will be forever extinguished, and the sea of karma will be forever clear. Moreover, both the laity and the clergy rejoice together, and all humans and gods have seen it. This is all moved by His Majesty's sincerity! How can it be done by the power of a humble monk alone? I am grateful for (the grace).

沙門惠果稟告：我恭敬地接到去年十二月十九日中使李憲誠奉宣的敕旨，命令微僧我巡視京城各寺廟，負責灑掃殿宇，拂拭佛像，以及督促僧尼徒眾焚香唸誦，為國家祈福。我謹于去年十二月二十日從莊嚴寺佛牙處開始，到本月八日結束。興善寺等一百一十二座寺廟，應有殿塔、佛牙、經藏、靈蹟、舍利之處，總計九百五十七處。我奉宣皇上的英明聖意，發揚光大佛教教義，拂去石像上的塵埃，如同降下輕柔的天衣；擦拭金身，使蓮座上的千葉蓮花重放光彩。舊日的容貌重新煥發光彩，古老的經書再次鮮明。香在殿中焚燒，水在庭院中灑掃。秉承清凈之心來發愿，似乎靈驗感通了上天。如今四海清平，三天（指天界）霧氣消散，敵寇的塵埃不再興起，旭日驅散了昏暗。微僧我又查閱《雜寶藏經》等經典，經中說，如果掃除一個閻浮提（指我們所居住的這個世界）的土地，不如掃佛塔一手掌那麼大的地方。常能作轉輪聖王（統治世界的理想君王）。這些都是陛下聖明的思慮，精微深遠，信心弘大而顯著，潔凈了這片凈土，開闊了佛門，庇護釋迦牟尼的弟子，恩澤延及萬國。福報如同云一樣聚集，應驗如同回聲一樣迅速。所以能夠災禍不生，不祥之氣自然消滅，與皇上的心願相符，如此迅速。微僧我因為緣故，師資特別蒙受聖上的恩寵，借用皇上的馬匹，受到中宮的恩寵。榮耀的命令來自上天，我惶恐不安，不知所措。

【English Translation】 English version: Excellent. I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. I respectfully submit this memorial to express my thanks and report to His Majesty. The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Chonghui speaks with sincere fear and trepidation.

On the 29th day of the tenth month of the third year of the Dali era, the Shramana Chonghui of Anguo Temple submits this memorial.

The Emperor Yuan Sheng Wen Wu of the Bao Ying era replied:

The master diligently cultivates pure conduct, and in previous lives was in harmony with the True Vehicle (Mahayana Buddhism). Your sincerity has moved the heavens, and the Buddha will protect you. Entrusting yourself to the flames, placing your feet on sharp blades, you walk calmly as if on a bed. The entire capital admires you, and the fourfold assembly takes refuge in you. The bestowed grace is no ordinary matter; there is no need for you to trouble yourself with a memorial of thanks.

(The Emperor) ordered (Shramana Chonghui) to complete the cleaning of the pagodas and statues in the temples of the capital, (Shramana Chonghui) presented a memorial (with the Emperor's reply attached).

The Shramana Huiguo reports: I respectfully received the imperial decree conveyed by the envoy Li Xiancheng on the 19th day of the twelfth month of last year, ordering this humble monk to inspect the temples in the capital, to be responsible for sweeping the halls, wiping the statues, and urging the monks and laity to burn incense and recite scriptures, praying for blessings for the country. I respectfully began on the 20th day of the twelfth month at the Buddha's tooth relic at Zhuangyan Temple, and finished on the 8th day of this month. There are one hundred and twelve temples including Xingshan Temple, with a total of nine hundred and fifty-seven places including halls, pagodas, Buddha's tooth relics, sutra repositories, sacred sites, and sharira (Buddhist relics). I respectfully carried out Your Majesty's wise intentions, promoting the teachings of Buddhism, wiping away the dust from the stone statues, as if descending a light celestial robe; cleaning the golden bodies, illuminating the thousand petals of the lotus seat. The old appearances are restored, and the ancient books are refreshed. Incense is burned in the halls, and water is sprinkled in the courtyards. Upholding purity to make vows, it seems that the spiritual response has moved the heavens. Now the four seas are peaceful, the mists of the three heavens (referring to the heavens in Buddhist cosmology) have dissipated, the dust of the enemy no longer rises, and the rising sun dispels the darkness. This humble monk has also consulted the Za Bao Zang Jing (Miscellaneous Treasure Store Sutra) and other scriptures, which say that if one sweeps the land of Jambudvipa (the world we live in), it is not as good as sweeping a hand's breadth of a pagoda. One can always become a Chakravartin (ideal universal ruler). These are all due to Your Majesty's sagacious thoughts, profound and far-reaching, and your faith is great and manifest, purifying this pure land, expanding the Buddhist gate, protecting the disciples of Shakyamuni, and extending grace to all nations. Blessings gather like clouds, and responses are as swift as echoes. Therefore, disasters do not arise, and inauspicious omens naturally disappear, in accordance with Your Majesty's wishes, so quickly. This humble monk, because of this, my teachers and I have received special favor from Your Majesty, borrowing horses from the imperial stables, and receiving favor from the Empress. The glorious command comes from heaven, and I am fearful and at a loss.

【English Translation】 Even the slightest effort is ineffective; only the grace like abundant rain can bear the responsibility. I am overwhelmed with utmost sincerity and respectfully attach the memorial presented by the envoy Yuan Yingjin to report to Your Majesty. Trembling with fear and reverence, I respectfully submit this.

January 8th, the twelfth year of the Dali era

Presented by the monk Huiguo, who is in charge of inspecting the two monasteries and also manages the affairs of the monastery at Daxingshan Temple.

Approved by Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu

Acharya (Acharya, meaning teacher) Miaoxing persists in his practice, and I have heard of his pure conduct. Therefore, I order him to tour the pure lands extensively to spread the causes of victory. The golden temple is clean and pure, and the jade-like hair emits light. Your sincerity is deeply commendable. I am aware of what you have reported.

Presenting a memorial on the merits of the Manjushri Pavilion inside and outside Daxingshan Temple (with reply)

In the Manjushri Zhenguo Pavilion of Daxingshan Temple, by imperial decree, we have painted a set of nine forms of the Six-Syllable Manjushri Bodhisattva in plain white. On the inner and outer walls of the pavilion, we have painted one hundred and four forms of the holy clan of bodhisattvas from the Manjushri Assembly. Now they are all completed. The monk Huisheng reports. Respectfully, I, the monk Huisheng, report to His Majesty, the Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu Emperor, that you are promoting the cause of Manjushri and practicing the vows of Samantabhadra. You are planting these auspicious causes for the benefit of all beings. You are manifesting the true form of the fruit of virtue and revealing the true appearance of the physical body. Now, the seven disasters are eliminated, and myriad blessings adorn the land. Without Your Majesty's benevolence, how could we behold the red doors illuminated by the morning candles like seeing the sun palace, and the jade-like hair emitting light at night like opening the moon palace? Those who rejoice in this undertaking are indebted to the power of the Emperor, and those who take refuge in it generate the mind of Bodhi. May all sentient beings, as numerous as grains of sand, universally receive the Buddha's grace, and may we, the monks, be especially bathed in the Emperor's favor. How can we repay such kindness merely by reciting scriptures and holding mantras? We only hope to rely on the power of Manjushri's Dharma to repay Your Majesty's great kindness. The painted image of the great sage, a field of merit, is respectfully presented on the auspicious occasion of Your Majesty's birthday, through the envoy Li Xiancheng, with a memorial to report to Your Majesty. The monk Huisheng, trembling with fear and reverence, respectfully submits this.

October 8th, the twelfth year of the Dali era. Memorial presented by the monk Huisheng, who is in charge of inspecting the two monasteries and managing the affairs of the monastery.

Approved by Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu

Venerable Master, you have long been diligent in pure conduct and strictly observe the precepts. You have been in the monastery for a long time, making the establishment of virtue your principle. Your efforts have been evident over the years, and your blessings have gathered in the country. Your immeasurable auspicious causes are a source of admiration and comfort.

【English Translation】 English version A Memorial of Thanks (with Reply) for the Gift of Forty Pieces of Brocade, Colored Silk, and Fine Silk

The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Huisheng (惠勝) says: I respectfully received the sacred decree proclaimed by the envoy Li Xiancheng (李憲誠), which specially bestowed forty pieces of brocade, colored silk, and fine silk. Holding it reverently and kneeling, I am filled with shame and gratitude, joy and trepidation, at a loss for what to do. I humbly think of His Majesty, the Emperor Bao Ying Yuansheng Wenwu (寶應元聖文武皇帝), who is the embodiment of the vows of all Buddhas, practicing the secret conduct of Samantabhadra (普賢), propagating the great transformation, condescending from his noble status to bestow special favor upon an insignificant monk. However, the Dharma of Samantabhadra (普賢), is originally the canon transmitted by my late teacher, and also the path entrusted by Your Majesty. I, Huisheng (惠勝), deeply feel the instructions of my late teacher and admire the profound grace of the Holy Lord. I imitate the ancient people's offering of celery, contributing my meager efforts, hoping to reach the Holy Heart. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Grace has bestowed excessive favor. I will present the bestowed items to the shadow pagoda of my late teacher, and recite scriptures for the country, making sincere vows in various Dharma assemblies and Daochang (道場, a place for Buddhist practice), hoping to rely on the power of the Buddha to forever protect the imperial family. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I respectfully enclose a memorial with the envoy Li Xiancheng (李憲誠) to express my thanks and report to Your Majesty. The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Huisheng (惠勝) is sincerely joyful and congratulatory. Respectfully.

The sixth day of the sixth month of the thirteenth year of the Dali (大曆) era (778 AD)

Presented by the Shramana (Buddhist monk) Huisheng (惠勝), who is in charge of the two Daochang (道場, a place for Buddhist practice) at the Daxingshan Temple (大興善寺).

Imperial Rescript of the Emperor Bao Ying Yuansheng Wenwu (寶應元聖文武皇帝):

The secret treasury of all Buddhas, received and held by the late teacher, propagated among humans and devas (gods), is indeed an essential Dharma. A small offering is made to assist in cultivation. Your expression of thanks is noted.

An Imperial Edict of Emperor Suzong (肅宗) Ordering the Tripitaka (三藏) Master Huisheng (惠䏏) to Recite Scriptures in the Inner Daochang (道場, a place for Buddhist practice)

Take the Flying Dragon Horses and give them to the Tripitaka (三藏) Master to build and decorate the Daochang (道場, a place for Buddhist practice) for reciting scriptures.

【English Translation】 English version: 'Also.' From now on, you must be even more diligent and recite scriptures for me. Do not be diligent only when you receive rewards.

Eighteenth day of the first month, third year of Zhide, General Jia Qiaofu announced.

Emperor Daizong's decree ordering Ximing Temple to provide congee and rice, and mounts for travel, one decree.

By imperial order, telling the monk Huixiao (Huixiao) of Ximing Temple: Perform meritorious deeds for me. While in the temple, follow the usual practice. Provide all necessities, including congee and rice at the two daily meals, as well as mounts for travel, without any shortage.

Twenty-fifth day of the eighth month, sixth year of Dali, Gao Pin Ma Fengcheng announced.

A memorial expressing gratitude for being sent to Mount Wutai to perform meritorious deeds (with reply).

The Shramana Huixiao (Huixiao) says: On the tenth day of this month, I received your instructions in person, ordering me to go to Mount Wutai to inspect the colors and seals of the revered images at Dasheng Jingesi (Great Sage Golden Pavilion Temple). I am to stop work in the ninth month and return to the capital to perform meritorious deeds for Your Majesty's birthday. Huixiao (Huixiao) has been devoted to the Way since leaving home twenty years ago, serving the Tripiṭaka master Daguangzhi (Great Wisdom) for over thirty years. He has personally received instruction in the Fivefold True Words, never leaving his side. He has had the honor of facing the Heavenly Countenance and has often performed meritorious deeds in the Hanhui, Yanying, and Changsheng Palaces. I regret that I have not been diligent enough, and my remaining desires have not been quelled. Your Majesty's kindness has extended to me, and you have sent a messenger to bestow thirty bolts of silk, provided post horses and public rations, and allowed me to borrow mounts from the temple. How fortunate I am to receive Your Majesty's grace repeatedly! I am sincerely joyful and grateful beyond measure. I will depart today. It can be said that I am riding swiftly, looking forward to the Golden Pavilion, which is not far away. Returning in the autumn after departing in the spring, how far is it to visit the Purple Palace? I am filled with reluctance and trepidation. I respectfully submit this memorial through the supervising official Wei Mingxiu to express my gratitude. The Shramana Huixiao (Huixiao) speaks with sincerity and fear.

Nineteenth day of the third month, twelfth year of Dali.

The Shramana Huixiao (Huixiao) of Ximing Temple, envoy for performing meritorious deeds on Mount Wutai, submits this memorial.

Emperor Baoying Yuansheng Wenwu's response:

The master relies on the Buddhist path to propagate the sacred teachings. His words seek the truth, and he is about to go to Ling Mountain. The bestowed gifts are not many, so there is no need for repeated thanks.

Grace.

沙門（佛教出家人的通稱）惠曉稟告：在三月十一日，我當面領受了您的旨意，命令在五臺山修功德的人，到七月十九日齋戒之後，與中使（皇帝的使者）李童枝等七十餘人，攜帶香火巡禮。所帶的火種不得帶到臺上，我內心懇切自責，憑藉什麼來祈請呢？到達山頂，童子辯戈忽然在石頭上看見濕灰燼，便從中得到了微弱的火苗。我恭敬地想到，陛下您的恩德深遠廣被，聖火竟然在濕灰中產生。焚香虔誠祈禱，菩薩萬千化身顯現，光輝燦爛，莊嚴的相貌清晰分明，凝固在空中，直到傍晚也不消散。我又與監使（負責監督的官員）魏明秀等一同來到此臺，為國家祈禱。發願之時，攝身光圓光菩薩等相繼二十七次顯現。陛下您的聖明感應潛移默化，菩薩屢次彰顯神蹟，崇敬五臺山的靈瑞之處不止一端。微小的僧人我何其有幸，能夠親眼目睹這聖蹟，心中充滿了感激和慶幸。今月十日，蒙受天恩，命令我與惠朗一同修功德，這是特別的恩寵和關照。再次進入金門寶殿修持，我內心充滿了戰慄和惶恐。謹隨中使李憲誠奉上表章，陳述謝意，以稟告陛下。沙門惠曉誠惶誠恐，歡喜地稟告。

五臺山修功德使西明寺沙門惠曉上表

寶應元聖文武皇帝批示：

法師您勤勉修行，長期居住在清涼之地（指五臺山）。功德廣大，戒律圓滿，志向精進，功行完備。共同齋戒，是爲了國家祈福。所謝之事已知曉。

元日獻甄叔迦寶表一首(並答)

沙門惠曉稟告：我恭敬地領受了您的恩旨，命令我在臺山檢查修功德的情況，為國家祈福，到達南臺。南臺有座山，先前有梵僧（印度僧人）巡禮時說，這座山上有甄叔迦寶（一種珍寶的名字）。如果心懷貪念的人登上此山，都會遇到風雷。惠曉焚香祈禱，然後登上這座山。山上有一塊小石頭 English version:

Memorial of Thanks for Joint Merit-Making with Huilang (with Reply)

Shramana (Buddhist monk) Huixiao reports: On the eleventh day of the third month, I received your decree in person, ordering those who cultivate merit at Mount Wutai to, after fasting on the nineteenth day of the seventh month, tour and pay respects with the imperial envoy Li Tongzhi and seventy others, carrying incense and fire. The fire they carry must not be brought onto the platform. I earnestly reproach myself in my heart, on what basis can I make requests? Upon reaching the summit, the boy Bian Ge suddenly saw damp ashes on a stone, and obtained a faint flame from them. I respectfully think that Your Majesty's grace is far-reaching, and the sacred fire was born from damp ashes. Burning incense and praying sincerely, the Bodhisattva appeared in myriad forms, with brilliant light, and clear and distinct features, solidified in the sky, not dissipating until evening. I also came to this platform with the supervising envoy Wei Mingxiu and others to pray for the country. During the vow-making, the forms of the Bodhisattvas of the Self-Illuminating Light and the Circular Light appeared twenty-seven times in succession. Your Majesty's sacred influence is subtly working, and the Bodhisattvas have repeatedly manifested miracles, revering the spiritual auspiciousness of Mount Wutai in more ways than one. How fortunate am I, a humble monk, to be able to witness these sacred traces, and my heart is filled with gratitude and rejoicing. On the tenth day of this month, I received heavenly grace, ordering me to cultivate merit together with Huilang. This is a special favor and care. Entering the Golden Gate Treasure Hall again to cultivate, my heart is filled with trembling and fear. I respectfully submit this memorial with the imperial envoy Li Xiancheng to express my gratitude and report to Your Majesty. Shramana Huixiao reports with sincerity, fear, and joy.

Seventeenth day of the eleventh month of the thirteenth year of the Dali era (778 CE)

Memorial presented by Shramana Huixiao of Ximing Temple, Envoy for Merit-Making at Mount Wutai

Imperial Decree of Emperor Baoying Yuansheng Wenwu:

Master, you diligently practice the Brahma conduct and have resided in Qingliang (Mount Wutai) for a long time. Your merit is vast, your precepts are complete, your will is refined, and your accomplishments are perfect. Together, you observe purity and fasting to promote blessings for the country. Your expression of thanks is acknowledged.

Memorial Presenting a Kimsuka Jewel on the First Day of the Year (with Reply)

Shramana Huixiao reports: I respectfully received your gracious decree, ordering me to inspect the merit-making situation at Mount Wutai and pray for the country, and arrived at the South Terrace. There is a mountain on the South Terrace. Previously, when a Brahmin monk (Indian monk) was touring and paying respects, he said that there was a Kimsuka jewel (name of a precious jewel) on this mountain. If those with greedy hearts climb this mountain, they will encounter wind and thunder. Huixiao burned incense and prayed, and then climbed this mountain. There was a small stone on the mountain.

大曆十三年正月一日

五臺山修功德使西明寺沙門惠曉進

寶應元聖文武皇帝批

師訪道靈山。精修正覺。異石來獻。用表勤誠。所進知。

八月十三日賜　手詔一首(時在臺山金閣寺)

敕惠曉阇梨。令遣中使揚善德往彼句當功德。師服勤禪誦。資慶家邦也。秋涼師比平安好遣書指不多及十三日。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 石窟只有幾尺見方，其中有水，顏色像硃砂。在水中發現了三十片寶物，顏色像琥珀。惠曉（僧人名）聽聞后，認為這是明王（指皇帝）的感應，大地不會埋藏珍寶。我恭敬地認為，陛下您的恩德像天地一樣覆蓋一切，您的光輝像日月一樣照亮一切。何況您還在山峰下建造金閣寺，在山巖上修建玉華寺。我這個微不足道的僧人奉命前往那座名山，焚香祈禱，即使沒有電閃雷鳴，也最終獲得了這些寶物。又根據《般泥洹經》（涅槃經）所說，腳踩五臺山的一顆石頭，之後七劫都不會墮入惡趣。更何況這是稀世的珍寶。現在正值萬物更新的日子，也是陛下您接受上天庇佑的時刻。我謹隨同中使李憲誠，將這些寶物隨表章一同奉上，讓您知曉。沙門惠曉誠惶誠恐地稟告。

大曆十三年正月一日

五臺山修功德使西明寺沙門惠曉敬上

寶應元聖文武皇帝批示：

法師尋訪真理于靈山，精進修行以求證悟。如今獻上奇異的石頭，以此表達你的勤奮和誠意。所進獻之物朕已知曉。

八月十三日賜予手詔一首（當時在五臺山金閣寺）：

敕令惠曉阇梨（梵語，意為導師），派遣中使揚善德前往句當（地名）做功德。法師勤奮禪修誦經，為國家祈福。秋涼了，法師一切安好嗎？回信不必多寫。十三日。

進五臺山修護摩功德表一首（並答覆）：

沙門惠曉稟告：今年四月十日，中使魏明秀傳達旨意，命令我這個微不足道的僧人在五臺山大聖金閣保應鎮國寺修護摩（梵語 homa，意為火供）功德。我惠曉以虔誠之心，竭盡所能，以求上達聖意。修習上述功德，陳述文殊菩薩的宿願，祈求先師的冥冥之力，依稀有所憑依，響聲和影像也隨之應驗。火的顏色鮮艷潤澤，煙氣沒有升起，這與往日不同，確實表明了清明晴朗的景象。這是華夏安寧的徵兆，也是兵戈止息的驗證。這都是陛下您至高的德行在暗中執行，與上天的美德相合，使得百神都來獻上福祉，萬民都感到歡欣鼓舞，妖邪災禍永遠消除，吉祥喜慶日益聚集。惠曉

【English Translation】 English version The cave is only a few feet square, with water inside that is the color of cinnabar. Thirty pieces of treasure were found in it, their color like amber. When Huixiao (name of a monk) heard of this, he believed it was a response from the Ming King (referring to the emperor), that the earth does not hide treasures. I respectfully believe that Your Majesty's grace covers everything like heaven and earth, and your brilliance illuminates everything like the sun and moon. Moreover, you have built the Jin'ge Temple (Golden Pavilion Temple) at the foot of the peak and the Yuhua Temple (Jade Flower Temple) on the cliffs. I, this insignificant monk, was ordered to go to that famous mountain, burn incense and pray, and even without thunder and lightning, I finally obtained these treasures. Furthermore, according to the Banniepan Jing (Nirvana Sutra), stepping on a stone on Mount Wutai ensures that one will not fall into evil realms for seven kalpas (aeons). How much more so for these rare and precious treasures. Now is the time of renewal for all things, and also the time for Your Majesty to receive the blessings of heaven. I respectfully accompany the envoy Li Xiancheng to present these treasures along with the memorial, so that you may know. The Shramana (Buddhist monk) Huixiao reports with sincere fear and trepidation.

The first day of the first month of the thirteenth year of the Dali era (778 AD)

Presented by the Shramana Huixiao of Ximing Temple, the Commissioner for Merit-Making at Mount Wutai

Approved by the Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu:

The master seeks the truth at Ling Mountain and diligently cultivates to attain enlightenment. Now he presents extraordinary stones, thereby expressing his diligence and sincerity. I am aware of what has been presented.

Granted an imperial edict on the thirteenth day of the eighth month (at Jin'ge Temple on Mount Wutai):

Instruct the Acharya (teacher) Huixiao to send the envoy Yang Shandeto to Judang (place name) to perform meritorious deeds. The master diligently practices meditation and recites scriptures, praying for the prosperity of the country. As autumn cools, is the master well? No need to write much in reply. Thirteenth day.

Presented a memorial on performing Homa (Sanskrit for fire ritual) merit at Mount Wutai (with reply):

The Shramana Huixiao reports: On the tenth day of the fourth month this year, the envoy Wei Mingxiu conveyed the imperial decree, ordering me, this insignificant monk, to perform Homa merit at the Dasheng Jin'ge Bao Ying Zhenguo Temple (Great Sage Golden Pavilion Protecting the Nation Temple) on Mount Wutai. I, Huixiao, with sincere and foolish heart, exert all my efforts to reach the sacred will. By cultivating the aforementioned merit, stating the past vows of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and praying for the unseen power of the former teachers, there seems to be a basis, and sounds and images respond accordingly. The color of the fire is bright and lustrous, and the smoke does not rise, which is different from other days, truly indicating a clear and bright scene. This is a sign of peace in China and a verification of the cessation of warfare. This is all due to Your Majesty's supreme virtue operating in secret, in harmony with the virtues of heaven, causing all the spirits to offer blessings and all the people to rejoice, with evil disasters forever eliminated and auspicious celebrations gathering daily. Huixiao

【English Translation】 English version: Xiao Tian Ce Zi Lie (name, specific meaning unclear). I respectfully receive your teachings. I fear to fail the Holy Decree. I wish you happiness and auspiciousness. I am filled with joy and congratulations. I respectfully send the memorial with the envoy Wei Mingxiu (name) to inform the Emperor. The Shramana Huixiao (monk's Dharma name) is sincerely fearful and joyful, and respectfully submits this.

December 18th, the thirteenth year of Dali

Shramana Huixiao of Ximing Temple submits this memorial

Imperial Edict of Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu:

Manjusri, the Great Sage (name of a Bodhisattva). Protects Ling Mountain (Buddhist sacred site). The Master's sincere heart, the divine grace is manifested in response. Sincerity will surely be answered. It is deeply commendable. The matter of congratulations is known.

Order the Du Weina Fgao (monk's Dharma name) of Daxingshan Temple to compose one according to the previous sentence (and attach the envoy's document)

By the Emperor's order, inform Li Yuanzong (name), the Du Weina Fgao (monk's Dharma name) of Xingshan Temple should immediately take the position of Du Weina according to the previous sentence.

April 17th, the tenth year of Dali, Li Xiancheng (name) of high rank announced the Emperor's order, responsible for the merit-making of the temples and monasteries in the capital

Du Weina Fgao of Xingshan Temple

Received the envoy's document, stating that the Emperor's order is as above, there are no dispositions for each document to be implemented, recording the matter of the monk Fgao in the imperial edict, therefore issuing this document.

Envoy's document, April 17th, the tenth year of Dali

Envoy Li Cong (name), holding the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and commander of the Right Longwu Army

Thanking for the grace, a memorial for ordering Dharma Master Youze (monk's Dharma name) to lecture at Xingshan Temple (and the reply)

The Shramanas Fgao and others report. We respectfully receive the Emperor's edict of the fourth day of this month, ordering Dharma Master Youze of Zhangjing Temple to lecture on the Golden Light Sutra (name of a Buddhist scripture) at the temple. Bathing in the imperial grace, the Emperor's will is filled within. Buddhist affairs are conducted on time, and the sound of the Dharma is proclaimed. We are insignificant, and there is truly no place to hide. We humbly beseech Emperor Bao Ying Yuan Sheng Wen Wu, who teaches the world with benevolence and secretly practices the Dharma. The Emperor's favor flows eastward, therefore we look to the south. Moreover, the temple has been established for nearly two hundred years. Although famous monks have resided here, generations have not been lacking, but the proclamation of the Emperor's grace has never been heard before. Now this edict is like falling from the sky, and people are like springing from the earth. Although the scripture is still old, the commentary is truly new. Ordering monks and nuns to run quickly, attracting scholars and women to flock here. This is all the wonderful power of the Buddhas, and the blessing of the Golden Light Sutra.

【English Translation】 English version: Title on the Stele of the State Preceptor, the Great Master of Discriminating and Correcting Extensive Wisdom

Inscription (with Preface) for the Deceased Great Virtuous Monk, the Great Master of Discriminating and Correcting Extensive Wisdom, of the Great Xingshan Temple of the Tang Dynasty

Composed by Yan Ying, Silver Green Grand Master of Remonstrance, Grand Master of the Palace, Pillar of the State, and Founding Duke of Fengyi County

Written by Xu Huo, Silver Green Grand Master of Remonstrance, Transmitted Duke of Peng, Pillar of the State, and Founding Duke of Kuaiji County

The monk's (héshàng, referring to a Buddhist monk) name was Bukong (Bùkōng). He was from the Western Regions. His clan is not known in the Central Plains, so it is not recorded. Emperor Xuanzong (Xuánzōng, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang) perceived his profound Tao and held him in high esteem. He served as the State Preceptor of Empowerment during the reigns of Emperors Suzong (Sùzōng, Emperor Suzong of Tang) and Daizong (Dàizōng, Emperor Daizong of Tang), using profound words and virtuous omens to protect and bless the Supreme One. At the beginning of Emperor Daizong's reign, he was praised and recognized as a Grand Master of Special Advance and Grand Herald. When he fell ill and could not rise, he was further granted the titles of Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent and Duke of Su State while he was bedridden, but he firmly declined. He was specially bestowed the Dharma name Great Master of Extensive Wisdom. On the day Guiwei of the sixth month in the summer of the ninth year of the Dali era (Dàlì, era name of Emperor Daizong of Tang), he passed away at the Great Xingshan Temple in the capital. Emperor Daizong suspended court for three days in mourning and posthumously granted him the title of Minister of Public Works and the posthumous title of Great Master of Discriminating and Correcting Extensive Wisdom. During the cremation (chúpí, cremation), an imperial decree was issued to send a central attendant to perform a vegetarian blessing and ancestral sacrifice, showing the respect as if he were still present. The imperial words were profound and sincere, and the commendation was excellent and fragrant. The ceremony surpassed all others, and the praise was unparalleled. In September of that year, an imperial decree was issued to build a pagoda for the relics (shèlì, Buddhist sacred objects, usually referring to the remains of eminent monks after cremation) at the old residence temple. The monk was intelligent and insightful, and he was well-versed in the essential points of the myriad Dharmas of the Buddhas of the past. He stood alone in the Buddhist community (zīmén, referring to Buddhism), unparalleled and unmatched. Examining the standards of the true words and the meaning of the characters, and the trajectory of empowerment and ascending the altar, the speed of becoming a Buddha in that moment, and the wonder of accumulating blessings in response to the sound, are as beautiful and vast as the heavens, and as universal and deep as the earth. These are certainly not things that a novice can fully understand. I dare to give a general overview to preface its grand essence. In the past, Vajrasattva (Jīngāng Sàduǒ, name of a Buddhist Bodhisattva) personally received the supreme meaning of Yoga (yújiā, meaning correspondence and union, here referring to the Yoga school) from Vairochana Buddha (Pílúzhēnà Fó, name of a Buddhist Buddha). Hundreds of years later, it was transmitted to Nagarjuna Bodhisattva (Lóngměng Púsà). Hundreds of years after Nagarjuna, it was transmitted to Acharya Nagarjuna (Lóngzhì Āshélí, title of a Buddhist monk, meaning teacher). Nagarjuna transmitted it to Acharya Vajrabodhi (Jīngāngzhì Āshélí). Vajrabodhi came east and transmitted it to the monk. The monk then traveled west to countries such as India (Tiānzhú, ancient name for India) and the Lion Country to visit Acharya Nagarjuna. He propagated the eighteen assemblies of Dharma. The Dharma transformation was passed down in succession, from Vairochana Tathagata (Pílúzhēnà Rúlái) until

和尚凡六葉矣。每齋戒留中道迎善氣。登禮皆答。福應較然。溫樹不言。莫可記已。西域隘巷。狂象奔突。以慈眼視之。不旋踵而像伏不起。南海半渡。天吳鼓駭。以定力對之。未移晷而海靜無浪。其生也母氏有毫光照燭之瑞。其歿也精舍有池水渴涸之異。凡僧夏五十。享年七十。自成童至於晚暮。常飾供具坐道場。浴蘭焚香。入佛知見。五十餘年晨夜寒暑。未曾須臾有傾搖懈倦之色。過人絕遠。乃如是者。後學升堂誦說。有法者非一。而沙門惠朗受次補之記。得傳燈之旨。繼明佛日。紹六為七。至矣哉。於戲法子永壞梁木。將記本行。托余勒崇。昔承微言。今見幾杖。光容眇漠。壇宇清愴。纂書照銘。小子何讓。銘曰。

嗚呼大士　　有我三宗　　道為帝師 　秩為儀同　　昔在廣成　　軒后順風 　歲逾三千　　復有肅公　　瑜伽上乘 　真語密契　　六葉授受　　傳燈相繼 　述者牒之　　爛然有弟　　陸伏狂象 　水息天吳　　慈心制暴　　慧力降愚 　寂然感通　　其可測乎　　兩楹夢奠 　雙樹變色　　司空寵終　　辨正旌德 　天使祖祭　　宸衷悽惻　　詔起寶塔 　舊庭之隅　　下藏舍利　　上飾浮屠 　跡殊生滅　　法離有無　　刻石為偈 　傳之大都

建中二年歲次辛酉十一月乙卯朔

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 這位和尚已經是第六代了。每次齋戒都保持內心的平靜來迎接吉祥之氣，所有登門拜訪和禮敬他的人，他都一一回應，所得到的福報也明顯可見。至於他溫暖的品行，無法用言語來完全描述。 在西域狹窄的巷子里，遇到狂暴的大象奔跑衝撞，他用慈悲的眼神注視著它，沒過多久，大象就馴服地趴在地上起不來了。在南海的航行途中，遇到天吳（tian wu, 海神名）興風作浪，他用堅定的禪定力來面對，沒過多久，海面就平靜得沒有一絲波浪。 他出生的時候，他的母親有毫光照耀的祥瑞之兆。他去世的時候，他居住的精舍里的池水突然乾涸。他作為僧人的年齡有五十年，享年七十歲。從年少到晚年，他經常裝飾供具，端坐在道場里，用蘭湯沐浴，焚燒香料，進入佛的知見。五十多年來，無論是早晚還是寒暑，他從未有過絲毫的動搖和懈怠。他的修為遠遠超過常人，就是這樣的人。 他去世后，他的學生們升堂講經說法，精通佛法的人不止一個，而沙門惠朗（hui lang, 人名）接受了他的衣缽，得到了傳燈的宗旨，繼續發揚光大佛法，使第六代之後有了第七代。真是功德圓滿啊！ 唉，法子（fa zi, 佛法繼承人）永遠地失去了棟樑。我將要記錄他的生平行跡，託付我來撰寫碑文。過去我曾接受過他的教誨，現在又看到了他的幾杖（ji zhang, 古代士大夫用具，這裡指遺物）。他的光輝容貌已經渺茫難尋，佛壇和寺宇顯得清冷而悲傷。撰寫碑文這種事情，我這個晚輩又怎麼敢推辭呢？銘文如下： 嗚呼，偉大的佛門弟子，秉承著『有』、『我』、『三宗』（you, wo, san zong, 佛教哲學概念）的教義。他的道行可以作為帝王的老師，他的品秩可以等同於儀同（yi tong, 官名）。 過去在廣成（guang cheng, 古地名），黃帝軒轅（xuan yuan, 黃帝名）順應天道。歲月流逝了三千多年，又出現了肅公（su gong, 人名）。 他精通瑜伽（yu jia, 一種修行方法）的上乘之法，真語（zhen yu, 真實不虛之語）與密契（mi qi, 秘密的契合）相應。六代祖師的傳授，傳燈（chuan deng, 佛教用語，指傳承佛法）的事業相繼不斷。 撰寫碑文的人詳細地記載了他的事蹟，他的美德是如此的顯著。他能在陸地上馴服狂暴的大象，在水面上平息天吳（tian wu, 海神名）的作亂。用慈悲的心來制服暴行，用智慧的力量來降伏愚昧。 他的寂靜感應是如此的不可思議，他的境界又怎麼可以輕易地測度呢？兩楹（liang ying, 房屋的柱子）之間夢奠（meng dian, 夢中安息），雙樹（shuang shu, 指娑羅雙樹，佛陀涅槃之處）也為之變色。 司空（si kong, 官名）為他的逝世感到惋惜，辨正（bian zheng, 人名）為他表彰功德。皇帝派遣使者來祭奠他，皇上的內心也感到十分悲痛。 下詔建造寶塔，就在他原來居住的庭院的角落裡。下面埋藏著舍利（she li, 佛教聖物，指佛陀或高僧圓寂后留下的遺骨），上面裝飾著浮屠（fu tu, 指佛塔）。 他的事蹟雖然有生有滅，但佛法卻超越了有和無的界限。將這些刻在石頭上作為偈語，流傳於世。 建中二年，歲在辛酉，十一月乙卯朔（jian zhong er nian sui ci xin you shi yi yue yi mao shuo, 指唐德宗建中二年十一月初一）。

【English Translation】 English version: This monk was already the sixth generation. Each time during fasting, he maintained inner peace to welcome auspicious energy. He responded to all who visited and paid respects, and the blessings received were clearly evident. As for his warm character, it cannot be fully described in words. In the narrow alleys of the Western Regions, when encountering a violent elephant running amok, he gazed at it with compassionate eyes. Before long, the elephant obediently lay down and could not rise. During a voyage in the South Sea, when encountering Tian Wu (name of a sea god) stirring up waves, he faced it with steadfast meditative power. Before long, the sea became calm without a single wave. At his birth, his mother had an auspicious sign of radiant light. At his death, the pond in the monastery where he resided suddenly dried up. His age as a monk was fifty years, and he lived to the age of seventy. From youth to old age, he often adorned offerings, sat upright in the Bodhimanda (dao chang, place of enlightenment), bathed in fragrant water, burned incense, and entered the Buddha's knowledge and vision. For more than fifty years, whether morning or night, cold or heat, he never showed the slightest sign of wavering or懈怠 (xie dai, laziness). His cultivation far surpassed ordinary people; such was this person. After his death, his students ascended the hall to lecture on the scriptures, and there was more than one who was proficient in the Dharma. However, Shramana (sha men, monk) Hui Lang (name of a person) received his mantle, obtained the essence of the transmission of the lamp, and continued to carry forward the Buddha's Dharma, making the sixth generation followed by the seventh. Truly, his merits were complete! Alas, the Dharma heir (fa zi, successor of the Dharma) has forever lost a pillar. I am about to record his life's deeds and entrust me to write the epitaph. In the past, I had received his teachings, and now I see his staff (ji zhang, ancient scholar's tool, here referring to relics). His radiant appearance is already vague and difficult to find, and the altar and temple appear desolate and sorrowful. How can I, as a junior, refuse to write the epitaph? The inscription reads: Alas, great disciple of the Buddha, upholding the teachings of 'existence,' 'self,' and 'three doctrines' (you, wo, san zong, Buddhist philosophical concepts). His Dao (dao, path) can serve as a teacher to emperors, and his rank can be equivalent to Yi Tong (yi tong, official title). In the past, in Guangcheng (guang cheng, ancient place name), Emperor Xuan Yuan (xuan yuan, name of the Yellow Emperor) followed the way of heaven. More than three thousand years have passed, and Su Gong (su gong, name of a person) has appeared again. He was proficient in the supreme Dharma of Yoga (yu jia, a practice method), and true words (zhen yu, true and unfalse words) corresponded to secret契合 (mi qi, secret agreement). The transmission of the six generations of patriarchs, the cause of the transmission of the lamp (chuan deng, Buddhist term, referring to the inheritance of the Dharma) continued uninterrupted. The person writing the epitaph recorded his deeds in detail, and his virtues were so remarkable. He was able to tame violent elephants on land and calm the disturbances of Tian Wu (name of a sea god) on the water. Use a compassionate heart to subdue violence, and use the power of wisdom to subdue ignorance. His silent response was so incredible, and how can his realm be easily measured? Between the two pillars (liang ying, pillars of the house), he dreamed of resting (meng dian, resting in a dream), and the twin trees (shuang shu, referring to the twin Sala trees, the place where the Buddha entered Nirvana) also changed color for him. Si Kong (si kong, official title) regretted his death, and Bian Zheng (bian zheng, name of a person) praised his merits. The emperor sent an envoy to pay tribute to him, and the emperor's heart also felt very sad. An edict was issued to build a pagoda, just in the corner of the courtyard where he originally lived. Below are buried the relics (she li, Buddhist sacred objects, referring to the remains of the Buddha or eminent monks after Nirvana), and above is decorated with a stupa (fu tu, referring to a pagoda). Although his deeds have birth and death, the Dharma transcends the boundaries of existence and non-existence. Engrave these on stone as verses and pass them on to the world. The second year of Jianzhong, the year was Xin You, the first day of the eleventh month of Yi Mao (jian zhong er nian sui ci xin you shi yi yue yi mao shuo, referring to the first day of the eleventh month of the second year of Emperor Dezong of Tang).
