> Dajian, 1st year (yichou, continuing for 14 years). The Fourth Patriarch, Chan Master Yi, at Waguan Monastery in Jinling, expounded the title of the Lotus Sūtra for Grand Master of Ceremonies Equal to the Three Excellencies Shen Junli, Vice Director Xu Ling, and others; during one summer retreat, he explained its great meaning. Jingmao of Baima and others all faced north to receive his instruction. From then on, he regularly expounded the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra, expounded the Gradual Dhyāna Gate, and explained the Six Wondrous Gates for Minister Mao Xi.  
> During the Dajian era, Chan Master Si of Nanyue expounded the peaceful and joyful practices of the Lotus for Dharma Master Xuanguang from the Eastern Sea, who returned to his state to propagate the teaching, marking the beginning of the transmission of the teaching to the Eastern Kingdom of Goryeo.  
> On the twenty-second day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Dajian, the Chan Master of Nanyue passed into tranquility.
