(To this day, the Vinaya school uses this eulogy on the day of his memorial observance.) ○ The Military Commissioner of Youzhou, Liu Zong, submitted a memorial requesting permission to leave household life. The Emperor did not grant it. Zong thereupon handed over his seal of office to his deputy; he then shaved his own hair to become a monk, turning his private residence into a monastery. The Emperor then complied with his wish, enfeoffing him as Great Awakened Master, granting him a monastic seniority of fifty years, and naming the monastery Bao'en. ○ Pei Du, the Military Commissioner of Hedong, memorialized that auspicious clouds had appeared at Foguang Monastery on Mount Wutai, and that the Great Being Mañjuśrī rode a lion in the sky with ten thousand followers. The Emperor dispatched an envoy to make offerings to the ten thousand bodhisattvas. On that day, auspicious clouds appeared again at the monastery. An imperial decree ordered Śramaṇa Weiying of Longxing Monastery to serve as Academician Awaiting Orders in the Hanlin Academy and Monastic Controller of the Two Streets. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 42.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.3) - [Next: 42.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.5) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.42.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.4) · Pramāṇa
