四明尊者教行錄 7.189

7.189

建炎庚戌春遭兵火，院宇一夕而空。聖朝所賜勅黃石刻，於煨燼中文字斷裂，已不可辨，常慨以無復再全之理者。逮紹興己巳，距庚戌凡二十載，一日忽有姚江僧持此墨本來。（仲旻）忻然如獲重寶，意必先祖通法師教席餘澤未已，使有天與之幸，不然何符契如此之非常耶。越明年正月戊子再摹于石。前管內僧正住持真教大師（仲旻）書。

In the spring of the gengxu year of the Jianyan reign period, [the cloister] suffered from the fires of war, and the cloister buildings were emptied in a single night. Among the ashes, the text of the stone carving of the Imperial Yellow Decree bestowed by the Sage Dynasty was broken and fragmented, no longer legible. I often lamented that there was no way it could ever be made whole again. Coming to the jisi year of the Shaoxing reign period, twenty years after the gengxu year, suddenly one day a monk from the Yao River came holding this ink rubbing. I, [Zhong]min, was overjoyed as if obtaining a rare treasure, and thought that the remaining grace of our ancestral teacher Dharma Master Tong’s teaching seat must not yet have ended, bringing about this heaven-sent fortune; otherwise, how could there be such an extraordinary match? In the first month, on the wuzi day of the following year, it was recarved onto stone. Written by the former Monastic Rectifier of the Circuit and Abbot, Great Master Zhenjiao [Zhong]min.
