二十三年十月。給事中知瀘州憑楫(字濟川號不動居士)委漕使攝郡事。別僚佐具衣冠。望闕再拜。著僧衣升座。橫柱杖膝上。說偈言而化。始楫問道於杲佛日。頓悟心旨。南渡之後。所在經藏殘闕楫以奉資(奉音鳳俸俗)造大藏經四十八所。小藏四大部者亦如其數(世以華嚴涅槃寶積珠林為四大部)所至與高僧逸民續蓮社時賢咸從其化。
In the twenty-third year, in the tenth month: Supervising Secretary and Prefect of Luzhou Ping Ji (courtesy name Jichuan, styled Layman Budong) entrusted the Fiscal Commissioner to temporarily administer the prefectural affairs. He bade farewell to his subordinate officials and donned his formal robes and cap. Facing the palace, he bowed twice, then put on monastic robes and mounted the seat. Resting a staff horizontally across his knees, he spoke a verse and passed away. Earlier, Ji had inquired about the Way with Gao Fori and suddenly awakened to the mind's essential purport. After the crossing to the south, the scriptures were everywhere damaged and deficient; Ji used his salary to produce forty-eight sets of the Great Canon, and the four major divisions of the minor canon in an equal number (in the world, the Avataṃsaka, Nirvāṇa, Ratnakūṭa, and Fajuyuanlin are considered the four major divisions). Wherever he went, he continued the Lotus Society with eminent monks and recluses, and the worthy scholars of the time all followed his transforming influence.
