3.86

The Master went before the Dharma seat. Having burned incense and bowed toward the imperial palace to offer thanks, he held up the imperial edict to show the assembly, saying: "The samādhi of the World-Honoured One was personally entrusted by golden mouth and jade tone; the purple-ink imperial document has been borne here by a phoenix from within the ninefold walls. Once again receiving the favour of the imperial dew, brightly illuminating the glory of the Dharma gate, the wonderful realization before sound startles the minds of the multitude."
