四明尊者教行錄 5.102

5.102

崇矩六明初五日，始見靈曜行者，將到汝二月書。知官僚躬請、名僧讓居，緇白歸心、資緣周贍，乃汝願力所致，亦吾道將行。更在精勤，令事增廣，但於心無著，必傳法成功。須更堅固立十方住持，永作傳天台教觀之院。既已有夏舍人起請之勅，州府據勅行之甚順也。事畢結裹文字，入在石中，永為程式，方為究竟也。見說文炳依棲於彼，切宜照燎之。伊却是學人，必能成器也。此外切在調身安適，自然其道昌盛矣。餘無可囑。不具。

To Chongju: On the fifth day of the sixth month, I first saw the practitioner Lingyao, who brought your letter of the second month. Learning that the officials personally invited you, the renowned monks yielded residence to you, clergy and laity turn their hearts to you, and supporting provisions are abundant, this is what your vow-power has brought about, and it also shows our Way is about to prevail. It further lies in diligence to make matters expand; as long as your mind has no attachment, you will certainly succeed in transmitting the Dharma. You must even more firmly establish an abbacy of the ten directions, making it permanently a cloister for transmitting the Tiantai doctrinal teaching and contemplation. Since there is already an imperial decree initiated by Secretariat Drafter Xia's petition, the prefectural administration has carried it out according to the decree very smoothly. When the matter is completed, conclude the documents and engrave them into stone to serve permanently as the regulation; only then will it be definitive. I hear it said that Wenbing is residing there; you must take good care to illuminate and support him. He is indeed a learner, and will certainly become a capable vessel. Apart from this, it is crucial to adjust your body to be peaceful and comfortable, and naturally the Way will flourish. There is nothing else to enjoin. Incomplete.
