二十年。金剛智三藏亡。諡灌頂國師。弟子不空三藏奉遺教。復回天竺至師子國。遇龍樹受十八會灌頂之法及經論五百餘部○初是西晉時有僧義興。於鄮縣東南三十里山谷間立佛祠於巖上。至是高僧法睿案故迹造精舍於山之東麓。祕書萬齊融建多寶塔於西南隅。師居其處日誦法華。感太白化天童送供。夜遶塔行道。人見師身與塔齊。因號太白禪師。名其山曰天童(世傳啟禪師開山者誤)○勅末尼本是邪見。妄託佛教。既是西湖師法。其徒自行。不須科罰。

In the twentieth year, Tripiṭaka Master Vajrabodhi died. He was posthumously named National Preceptor of Abhiṣeka. His disciple, Tripiṭaka Master Amoghavajra, obeying his testamentary instructions, returned to Tianzhu and went to Siṃhala, where he encountered Nāgabodhi and received the eighteen assemblies of abhiṣeka rituals along with over five hundred scriptures and treatises. / Earlier, during the Western Jin, there was a monk named Yixing who established a Buddhist shrine atop a cliff in a mountain valley thirty li southeast of Mao County. By this time, the eminent monk Farui, tracing the old site, built a monastery at the eastern foot of the mountain. Wan Qirong, Director of the Palace Library, built a Prabhutaratna Stūpa at the southwest corner. The Master dwelt in that place, reciting the Lotus Sūtra daily. He moved the Taibai spirit to manifest as a heavenly youth who delivered offerings to him. Walking the path around the stūpa at night, people saw the Master's body as tall as the stūpa. For this reason, he was called Dhyāna Master Taibai, and the mountain was named Tiantong (the common tradition that Dhyāna Master Qi opened the mountain is mistaken). / An edict was issued: 'Mani is fundamentally a false view, falsely claiming to be the Buddhist teaching. Since it is the religious doctrine of the Western Hu, let its followers practice it on their own; no punishment is required.'
