四明尊者教行錄 6.38

6.38

四明法智尊者與天竺慈雲法師，二子青藍氷水，能廣其師之道，大興天台一宗，直與智者並駕爭馳。一時名士如楊文公、王冀公、曾魯公相為師友，可謂盛矣。惟法智主明之保恩院，其後錫名為延慶，乃請於朝，永為天台教肆。所被勅文，與保恩院記，舊有石刻，昨更兵火，掃地不存。今住持覺雲連公，道行高卓，希蹤往軌，力訪遺本得之，俾學徒戒。夫再刊諸石工訖，來丐數語，取信後世。余嘉其能不沒前人之蹟也，乃遂其請。紹興丙子二月初吉，真隱居士史（浩）跋。

the Venerable Siming Fazhi and Dharma Master Ciyun of Tianzhu. These two men—like blue derived from indigo or ice colder than water—were able to broaden their master's Way and greatly revitalize the single school of Tiantai, running side by side and contending in speed with Zhizhe himself. At that time, renowned literati such as Duke Wen Yang, Duke Ji Wang, and Duke Lu Zeng became their teachers and friends; it may indeed be called glorious! Only Fazhi presided over the Bao'en Cloister of Ming[zhou]; later, it was granted the name Yanqing, and he petitioned the imperial court for it to remain forever a Tiantai teaching monastery. The imperial edict received, along with the 'Record of Bao'en Cloister', were formerly carved on stone, but recently through the fires of warfare, they were swept away and ceased to exist. The present abbot, Master Jueyun Lian, of lofty and eminent moral conduct, wishing to follow the former tracks, vigorously sought out the surviving manuscript and obtained it, so that students might take warning from it. When the work of re-engraving it on stone was finished, he came to beg for a few words to inspire confidence in later generations. Commending his ability not to let the traces of predecessors vanish, I therefore granted his request. The first day of the second month in the bingzi year of the Shaoxing era (1156 CE), postscript by the Layman of True Seclusion, Shi [Hao].
