> In the first year of Longxing: Earlier, the seventh-generation descendant of Taizu, Zicheng, was the vice magistrate of Jiaxing. His wife, Madame Zhang, dreamed of a divine being claiming to be Lord Cui, holding a sheep and giving it to her; thereupon she became pregnant. At first, \[the son\] was enfeoffed as Prince of Pu'an Commandery. When the Emperor was initially in his princely residence, he sent the Palace Director of Attendants to Jingshan to inquire about the Way with Chan Master Gao. \[Gao\] answered with a verse: 'With great roots, great capacity, and great strength, / you shoulder the great affair that is uncommon.' Later, when in the residence of the Prince of Jian, he sent the inner guest-prefect to the mountain to bestow the three characters 'Miaoxi Hermitage' and an authentic praise. Now, all previous bestowals were retrieved and inscribed with the imperial seal. In this year, on the tenth day of the eighth month, the Master entered nirvana. The Emperor mourned inconsolably, bestowing the posthumous title Pujue and naming the stūpa Baoguang, and his recorded sayings were entered into the Great Canon. Right Grand Councillor Tang Situi, Assistant Executive of the Secretariat Li Bing, Hanlin Academician Wang Zao, Vice Minister of Rites Zhang Jiucheng, and Supervising Secretary Ping Ji had all inquired about the Way and attained awakening. (Duke of Wei, Zhang Jun, composed the stūpa inscription).
