準塔銘，師年十五祝髮，受具足戒。二十從寶雲師學。四明迴父金氏，諱經。夢水若泉，喻教觀源源之有本也。《孟子》曰：源泉混混，不舍晝夜，盈科而後進，放于四海，有本者如是。《爾雅》曰：水注溪曰谷。子於吾言等，《論語》夫子曰：回也，非助我者也，於吾言無所不說。疏解曰：顏面於夫子之言皆默而識之，即無發起之益，故曰非助我也。

> According to the pagoda inscription, the Master shaved his head and received the full precepts at fifteen. At twenty, he studied under Master Baoyun. The father of \[the Master of\] Siming was of the Jin clan, taboo name Jing. The dream of water like a spring symbolizes that the doctrinal teaching and contemplation have a continuous source. Mencius says: 'The gushing spring surges forth, not stopping day or night, filling every depression and then advancing, reaching the four seas. Such is having a source.' The Erya says: 'Water pouring into a stream is called a valley.' Regarding 'There is nothing in my words, etc.', in the Analects the Master said: 'Hui is of no help to me! There is nothing in my words that does not please him.' The commentary explains: 'Yan Hui silently understood all of the Master's words, so there was no benefit of drawing forth inquiry; therefore he said, "He is of no help to me."'”
