八年三月。上幸洛陽至龍門山廣化寺。開無畏三藏塔瞻敬真體。四月上將郊天而雨不止。遣使禱無畏塔。及期而霽（無畏三藏。唐開元四年自西天來。長安為教主二十三年。滅塔於洛陽之龍門）○上自洛陽回京師。手書金剛經常自讀誦。宰相趙普因奏事見之。上曰。不欲甲冑之士知之。但言常讀兵書可也。

> In the eighth year \[975\], in the third month, the Emperor visited Luoyang and went to Guanghua Monastery on Mount Longmen, where he opened the stūpa of Tripiṭaka Master Wuwei to gaze upon and revere the true body. In the fourth month, when the Emperor was about to perform the suburban sacrifice to Heaven, rain would not cease; he sent an envoy to pray at Wuwei's stūpa, and when the appointed time came, the weather cleared (Tripiṭaka Master Wuwei came from Western Tianzhu in the fourth year of Kaiyuan of the Tang; he was the leader of the teachings in Chang'an for twenty-three years, and his stupa of extinction is at Longmen in Luoyang). / Returning from Luoyang to the capital, the Emperor personally hand-copied the Diamond Sūtra and constantly read and recited it. Grand Councilor Zhao Pu saw it while submitting a memorial. The Emperor said: 'I do not want the armored soldiers to know of this; simply tell them that I constantly read military treatises.'
