In the fourth year, in the third month, the Emperor visited Guanghua Temple on Mount Longmen in Luoyang to view the stūpa of Tripiṭaka Master Wuxie [Śubhakarasiṃha]. He composed a eulogy, carved it on stone, and placed it at the site of the stūpa. He further visited Baima Temple to view the true body of Tripiṭaka Master Mātanga. The Emperor said to his close ministers: 'Mātanga has spanned a thousand years to the present, yet his whole body remains incorrupt. He is truly worthy of veneration. The monks of the temple should be strictly instructed to guard it diligently with care.' Thereupon he composed an imperial text to praise him. / An imperial decree bestowed three thousand ounces of gold to further renovate Puxian Temple on Mount Emei, to host a vegetarian meal for thirty thousand monks, and to ordain four monks annually. / An imperial decree summoned Practitioner Shoujian of the Lianshui Army for an audience. Palace women were all ordered to come forward and burn incense. Whenever a woman arrived before him, the Emperor deceived him, saying: 'This is the Empress.' The Master said in each case: 'No.' After several tens of women had passed, the Master suddenly rose and said: 'Your Majesty, take good care of this person; she will surely become the mistress of the house in the future.' This was Empress Dowager Zhangxian. (Zhenzong's Empress Liu. When Renzong ascended the throne, because he was young, he honored Empress Liu as Empress Dowager; she attended court and presided over the administration for eleven years.)
