In the second year, Chen Shu, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stated: "The Institute for the Translation of Sutras has long incurred enormous expenses for provisions; I request that it be abolished." The Emperor did not grant permission, on the grounds that it was a glorious institution of the previous reign. An imperial decree ordered that Zanning, Compiler in the Historiography Institute, be promoted to Monastic Scribe of the Left Street. In the eighth month of the third year, Tianxizai, Probationary Chief Minister of the Court of Imperial Entertainments, passed away; he was posthumously titled Dharma Master Huibian. An imperial decree ordered the competent officials to provide full ceremonial rites for his funeral. Chan Master Cizhao Cong (found under Shoushan) resided at Shimen in Xiangzhou. The prefect caned him over an affair. When he returned, the head monk paid respects and asked: "The prefect wrongfully humiliated the Venerable Master without cause." The Master pointed to the ground with his finger and said: "Let him raise a mound of bones on flat ground." Thereupon, following his finger, a mound of earth arose. The prefect's entire family died of illness (Dahui wuku).
