天福二年。洛陽宣徽將朱崇。掘屋地得大石佛十軀。有碑云。唐垂拱六年造景福寺。崇大感窹。即舍所居以為寺○竦法師於國清為羲寂法師說止觀法門。

In the second year of the Tianfu reign period, General Zhu Chong of the Xuanhui Academy in Luoyang excavated the grounds of his residence and unearthed ten large stone Buddha statues. There was a stele stating: "In the sixth year of the Chuigong reign period of the Tang, Jingfu Temple was built." Chong was greatly moved to realization, and forthwith renounced his residence to make it a monastery. ○ Dharma Master Song expounded the Dharma gate of cessation and contemplation (śamatha-vipaśyanā) to Dharma Master Xiji at Guoqing.
