佛祖統紀 45.6

45.6

志磐頃過甬東。棲心元妙得舊文於書篋。念瘂女古佛。世無知者。因為述戒香維衛古佛記。既而元妙以遺寺。王師亮俾刻石寺中。以題名勝。案藏經維衛或稱毘婆尸。此翻勝觀。所謂以勝妙三觀觀一切諸法無非三諦之理也。

Recently, when I, Zhipan, passed through Yongdong, I found an old text in the book chest of the hermitage Qixin Yuanmiao. Reflecting that the mute girl was an ancient Buddha yet unknown to the world, I composed the *Record of the Ancient Buddha Vipaśyin of Jiexiang*. Afterwards, Yuanmiao gave it to the temple, and Wang Shiliang had it engraved on stone in the temple to mark the famous site. Note: in the canon, "Weiwei" is also called "Vipaśyin," here translated as "Superior Contemplation"; that is, contemplating all phenomena through the supreme and wondrous three contemplations, none of which is other than the principle of the three truths.
