佛祖統紀 17.33

17.33

法師則約。號元菴。鄞之姚氏。親受度於覺雲。旦夜為學深明教旨。覺雲來南湖。師為侍右。撫事和謹內外以說。雲逝。去依上竺慧光。分座講經眾服其辯乾道九年春。太師越王親製疏辭請為月波第一師。寺占東湖之勝。而師以講才見稱於世。故一時名德。咸樂來依。越王屢親講說。手書贊曰。師教門義龍也。既為吾家師。又作此山主。願奉此地。長講天台宗教。長修水陸普度。上報君親勿事改革。既而奏於朝。賜智海之號。自師作祖此山。繼之者梓菴隱堂。而柏庭徑升南湖。自是地望為之益重（此中失清哲首座記）。

Dharma Master Zeyue, styled Yuan'an, came from the Yao family of Yin. He personally received ordination under Jueyun. Studying day and night, he deeply penetrated the doctrinal essentials. When Jueyun came to Nanhu, the master served as his attendant; he managed affairs with harmony and prudence, pleasing those both within and without. When Yun passed away, he went to rely on Huiguang at Upper Tianzhu, where he shared the seat to lecture on the sūtras, and the assembly admired his eloquence. In the spring of the ninth year of Qiandao, the Grand Preceptor, King of Yue, personally composed an invitation requesting him to be the first master of Yuebo. The monastery occupied the scenic vantage of Donghu, and the master was renowned in the world for his preaching talent, so the eminent and virtuous of the time all rejoiced to come and rely on him. The King of Yue repeatedly attended his lectures in person and wrote a laudation in his own hand, saying: 'The master is the doctrinal dragon of our lineage. Having become my family's teacher, he is also the master of this mountain. I vow to offer this land, so that the Tiantai teachings will be preached forever, the Water and Land deliverance performed forever, to repay my lord and parents above, without making changes.' Afterward, he memorialized the court, which bestowed the title of Zhihai. From the time the master became the founder of this mountain, his successors were Zi'an and Yintang, and Baiting directly ascended to Nanhu; from then on the renown of the place grew even greater.
