6.66

皇朝故丞相魯國曾宣靖公（公亮），祠堂在縣南三里半延慶寺。按天聖中，楚國公（曾會）守明州。丞相方毓德侍下，一日游延慶，而主僧法智大師（知禮），夜夢伽藍神告之曰：翌日相公來，可恭迓之。（知禮）異其事，戒閽人以來者告。已而魯公至，禮以夢告，魯公曰：烏有是哉。然默記于方寸。至大拜，而以（知禮）之夢為然。於是請于朝，置田闢舍，大啟法席，延慶之名始播于天下。寺僧圖其像而祠之，碑碣具存。

The ancestral shrine of the late Prime Minister of the Imperial Dynasty, Duke Zeng Xuanjing (Gongliang), Prince of Lu, is located at Yanqing Monastery, three and a half li south of the county seat. According to records, during the Tiansheng era, the Duke of Chu (Zeng Hui) governed Mingzhou. While the Prime Minister was cultivating virtue in attendance upon his father, he one day visited Yanqing. Master Fazhi [Zhili], the abbot, dreamt that night that the saṅghārāma deity told him: 'Tomorrow the Prime Minister will come; you may respectfully welcome him.' [Zhili] marveled at the matter and instructed the gatekeeper to announce the arrival. Soon Duke Lu arrived, and Zhili related the dream to him. Duke Lu said: 'How could such a thing be?' Yet he silently kept it in his heart. When he was appointed Grand Chancellor, he regarded [Zhili's] dream as true. Thereupon he petitioned the court, acquired land, expanded buildings, and widely established Dharma assemblies; the name of Yanqing began to spread throughout the realm. The monks of the monastery painted his portrait and enshrined it; the steles and inscriptions all survive intact.
