同光元年。誕節勅僧錄慧江道士程紫霄。入內殿談論設千僧齋○鳳翔沙門道賢夢遊五竺見佛。指示此某國某聚落暨旦頓解五竺言音。傳粉壇法於世。人稱鳳翔阿闍梨法。清泰初。隨末帝入洛而終。塔於龍門。

In the first year of the Tongguang era, for the imperial birthday, an imperial decree ordered the Recorder of Monks Huijiang and the Daoist priest Cheng Zixiao to enter the inner palace to debate and hold a vegetarian feast for a thousand monks. The Śramaṇa Daoxian of Fengxiang dreamed that he traveled to the Five Indias and saw the Buddha, who pointed out that this was such-and-such a country and such-and-such a settlement; by dawn, he suddenly understood the spoken sounds of the Five Indias. He transmitted to the world the method of the powder altar, which people called the method of the Fengxiang Ācārya. Early in the Qingtai era, he followed the Last Emperor into Luoyang, where he passed away, and his pagoda was erected at Longmen.
