佛祖統紀 22.23

22.23

法師善勤。天台人。無相以主席請於郡。時以師高行為之舉。及遷淨名。舉樝菴繼其席。樝菴遷赤城。眾舉利贇繼。贇赴寶藏。部使者。復以無相卑。師以眾不足容。乃別遷勝地增建棟宇。時謂安清淨眾講妙教觀。宜天人之交助也。

Dharma Master Shanquan was a native of Tiantai. When [the monastery of] Wuxiang petitioned the commandery for an abbot, the Master was nominated on account of his lofty conduct. When he relocated to Jingming, he nominated Cha'an to succeed to his seat. When Cha'an relocated to Chicheng, the assembly nominated Liyun to succeed him. Yun went to Baozang. The surveillance commissioner again deemed Wuxiang too humble [in scale], and since the Master found it insufficient to accommodate the assembly, he moved to another excellent site and expanded the buildings. At the time, it was said that providing a peaceful dwelling for a pure assembly to expound the wondrous teachings and contemplations was something that deserved the mutual support of gods and humans.
