1.48

三年乙丑　真宗天禧初，有詔天下立放生池。師欲廣聖化，每遇佛生朝，募眾行放生業，於是立放生碑。樞密劉筠撰文，太守殿撰曾會立石。天聖三年七月十五日，霅溪僧（仁岳）書。師是年一夜忽夢相公入院，翌日即曾大守之子到。後果符此夢，廼魯國宣靖公也，由此楚國黃夫人置恒產供眾。又上書曾太守乞申奏後園地永在伽藍，亦此年也。

Third year, yichou: At the beginning of Emperor Zhenzong's Tianxi era, there was an edict to establish life-release ponds throughout the empire. Wishing to extend the imperial transformative influence, the Master gathered the multitude to perform acts of releasing life on every Buddha's birthday; thereupon he erected the Life-Release Stele. Bureau Director Liu Yun composed the text, and Prefect and Hall Drafter Zeng Hui erected the stone. On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the third year of Tiansheng, monk (Renyue) of Zhaoxi calligraphed it. One night in this year, the Master suddenly dreamed of a chancellor entering the cloister, and the very next day the son of Prefect Zeng arrived. Later this indeed verified the dream, for it was Duke Xuanjing of the Lu State; on this account, Lady Huang of the Chu State donated permanent property to provide for the assembly. In this year, he also submitted a letter to Prefect Zeng requesting to memorialize that the land of the rear garden permanently remain with the saṅghārāma.
