國清百錄 3.80

3.80

諸僧表。戒師有行者，聖表寺為禪門五淨居。其表未奏，僧使智璪啟云：昔陳世有定光禪師，德行難測。遷神已後，智者夢見其靈云：今欲造寺未是其時。若三國為一家，有大力勢人當為禪師起寺。寺若成，國即清，必呼為國清寺。伏聞勅旨欲立寺名，不敢默然，謹以啟聞。謹啟通事舍人李大方奏聞。勅云：此是我先師之靈瑞，即用即用。可取大牙殿牓，填以雌黃書以大篆，付使人安寺門。

The various monks submitted a memorial: The Precept Master who had practice, Sheng, submitted a memorial [suggesting] the monastery be named Five Pure Abodes of the Dhyāna Gate. Before that memorial was presented, the monastic envoy Zhizao reported, saying: 'Formerly, in the Chen dynasty, there was Dhyāna Master Dingguang, whose virtue and practice were unfathomable. After he transformed his spirit, Zhizhe saw his spirit in a dream, which said: "Now if you wish to build a monastery, it is not yet the time. When the three states become one house, a person of great power will build a monastery for the Dhyāna Master. If the monastery is completed, the country will be pure; it must be called Guoqing Monastery." Humbly hearing that the imperial edict wishes to establish a name for the monastery, I do not dare to remain silent, and respectfully report this.' Respectfully submitted. The Ceremonial Receptionist Li Dafang reported this [to the throne]. The imperial edict said: 'This is an auspicious sign from my late Master; use it immediately, use it immediately. Take the placard of the Great Main Hall, fill it with realgar, write [the name] in seal script, and hand it to the envoy to install upon the monastery gate.'
