三年。淨因璉禪師乞歸四明阿育王山。上賜手詔曰。天下寺院任性住持。師遂建宸奎閣以奉先朝聖製(仁宗詩頌凡十七篇)學士蘇軾為作記。移書問手詔中語。師答以無。此後示寂得之笥中。軾聞之曰。有道之士也。

In the third year, Chan Master Lian of Jingyin begged to retire to Mount Ashoka in Siming. The Emperor granted him an imperial rescript in his own hand, stating: 'You are permitted to reside as abbot at any monastery in the realm according to your inclination.' The master thereupon built the Chenkui Pavilion to venerate the sagely writings of the previous reign (Renzong's poems and eulogies numbered seventeen pieces in all). Academician Su Shi wrote a commemorative record for it. He sent a letter asking about the words in the hand-written rescript, but the master answered that there were none. After he manifested extinction, it was found in his bamboo chest. Shi heard of it and said, 'He was truly a man of the Way.'
