天聖元年。上常頂玉冠。上琢觀音像。左右以玉重請易之。上曰。三公百官揖於下者。皆天下英賢。豈朕所敢當。特君臣之分不得不爾。朕冠此冠將令回禮於大士也(鄭氏家集)○勅內侍楊懷古降香入天竺靈山為國祈福。慈雲式法師。復以天台教文入藏為請。懷古為奏上知○南海駐輦國遣使進金葉天竺梵經。詔三藏法護譯之○四明延慶法智法師。出教義策試生徒名開幃四十二章至今以為法。
The first year of Tiansheng [1023]. His Majesty frequently wore a jade crown carved with an image of Avalokiteśvara. The attendants, presenting jade to him, repeatedly requested that he change it. His Majesty said: "The Three Excellencies and the hundred officials who bow below are all the eminent and worthy of the realm. How could I dare receive it? It is merely that the distinction between sovereign and minister leaves no alternative. Wearing this crown, I intend to have them return their homage to the Great Being" (Zhengshi jiaji). ○ An edict ordered the palace attendant Yang Huaigu to offer incense and proceed to Ling Shan in Tianzhu to pray for the country's welfare. Dharma Master Ciyun [Zun]shi again requested that the Tiantai doctrinal texts be admitted into the canon; Huaigu memorialized this to His Majesty. ○ The state of Zhunian in the Southern Sea sent envoys to present Indian Sanskrit scriptures on gold leaves. An edict ordered the Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa to translate them. ○ Dharma Master Fazhi of Yanqing in Siming examined his students on doctrinal meanings, calling it "Opening the Curtain in Forty-Two Chapters," which has served as a model down to the present.
