乾符三年。外法師於國清為元琇法師說止觀法門○泉州龜洋無了禪師塔全身二十載。為山泉淹沒。門人發視不壞。閩王聞之。遣使舁入府庭供養。忽臭氣遠聞。王焚香祝之。可還龜洋舊阯建塔。即異香普熏。傾城瞻禮本道奏。上賜諡真寂大師。塔曰靈覺。弟子慧忠遇澄汰終於白衣。葬師塔東。今龜洋一真身士民依怙。若僧伽之遺化。
In the third year of Qianfu, Dharma Master Wai expounded the Dharma gate of Calm Abiding and Clear Observation for Dharma Master Yuanxiu at Guoqing Temple. / The stupa containing the intact body of Chan Master Wuliao of Guiyang in Quanzhou had stood for twenty years when it was submerged by a mountain spring. His disciples opened it to look and found it undecayed. The King of Min heard of it and sent an envoy to carry it into the government courtyard to make offerings. Suddenly a foul odor was smelled far away. The King burned incense and prayed: 'May it return to the old site of Guiyang to erect a stupa.' Immediately an extraordinary fragrance pervaded everywhere. The whole city went to pay homage. The circuit memorialized the throne, and the Emperor bestowed the posthumous title Great Master Zhenji, naming the stupa Lingjue. His disciple Huizhong had met with the [Huichang] suppression and ended his days as a layman; he was buried to the east of the Master's stupa. Today, the single true body at Guiyang is relied upon by scholar-officials and the common people, just like the surviving influence of Saṅgha.
