The Korean prince and Supreme Clerical Director Who Aids the World, Uicheon (Yitian), came to court. Su Shi of the Ministry of Rites was imperial ordered to be his host. The relevant officials prepared the welcoming provisions with great lavishness. (Gongzhang \[共張\] is read as gongzhang \[供帳, tents and provisions\], as seen in the Biography of Shu Guang in the Book of Han.) Uicheon four times submitted memorials requesting the transmission of the Huayan teaching. Thereupon \[the Emperor\] ordered Yang Jie of the Bureau of Receptions to escort him to Qiantang, where he received the Dharma from Dharma Master Jingyuan of Huiyin \[Monastery\]. He then proceeded to Tianzhu \[Monastery\] to pay respects to Dharma Master Ciban Jian and receive the Tiantai teaching. He met Vinaya Master Zhao of Lingzhi to request the precepts and the Zichi ji. Arriving at Jinshan, he called upon Chan Master Foyin Yuan, who received his obeisance while remaining seated. Yang Jie asked in astonishment about the reason for this. Master Yuan said, "Uicheon is merely a monk from a foreign realm. If I bend the Dharma to cater to secular conventions, how could we demonstrate the standard of Chinese teachers?" When the court heard of this, they regarded the master as one who understood the greater principle. After Uicheon returned to his country, he founded monasteries to transmit the teaching, honoring Ciban as the first patriarch. He also sent back gold-script versions of the Huayan-sūtra in three translations, old and new, to Huiyin, and built a pavilion to store them (nowadays commonly called Gaoli Temple). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 46.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.46.3) - [Next: 46.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.46.5) - [Up: 46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.46) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.46.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.46.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.46.4) · Pramāṇa
