上賓日屆期。隔宿庫司報堂司。令行者覆住持兩序。報眾掛諷經牌。就法座上。安　御座。用黃紙寫　聖號牌位。嚴設香花燈燭几筵供養。至期鳴僧堂鐘。集眾候住持至上香上茶湯。維那舉楞嚴呪。諷誦畢。回向云（某州某寺住持傳法臣僧某。某月某日。恭遇某聖聖忌之辰。謹集合山僧眾。謹誦大佛頂萬行首楞嚴神呪。稱揚聖號。所萃殊利資嚴聖駕。伏願神遊八極。想雲車風馬來。臨位證中天受玉殿瓊樓快樂。十方三世云云）。

When the day of an imperial demise arrives, on the preceding evening the monastery storehouse notifies the hall office, directing the postulant to report to the abbot and the two ranks, notify the assembly, and hang the sūtra-chanting plaque. Upon the Dharma seat, the imperial throne is installed, and yellow paper is used to write the spirit tablet of the sacred title. Incense, flowers, lamps, candles, tables, and mats are strictly arranged as offerings. When the time comes, the bell of the Sangha hall is struck to gather the assembly to await the arrival of the abbot, who offers incense, tea, and decoction. The karmadāna leads the Śūraṅgama Mantra. After the chanting is concluded, the transference of merit says: ("I, the subject monk so-and-so, abbot and Dharma transmitter of such-and-such monastery in such-and-such prefecture, on such-and-such month and day, reverently encountering the sacred memorial day of such-and-such sovereign, respectfully gather the saṅgha of the entire mountain to chant the Divine Mantra of the Great Buddha's Summit of Ten Thousand Practices of the Śūraṅgama and proclaim the sacred names. May the exceptional benefits thereby gathered assist and adorn the sacred carriage. We humbly pray that the spirit roams through the eight extremities, and as we imagine the cloud chariots and wind horses arriving, it occupies the station in the midst of heaven, enjoying the delights of jade halls and jasper pavilions. Ten directions, three times, and so forth.")
