In the third year, in the first month, the relic was received at the Bilin Hall. The Emperor saw light at the corner of the stupa like golden pearls. He ordered palace attendants to escort the stupa back to the mountain, and provided a vegetarian meal to give thanks for the miraculous sign. An edict was sent to Fuzhou, ordering that in accordance with the imperial edict issued in the second year of Tiansheng, the scriptural division of the Tiantai school be handed over to the Dongchan Monastery in Kaiyuan to be carved onto printing blocks and entered into the canon. Prior to this, Master Ciyun Zunshi had submitted a petition requesting that the Tiantai scriptural texts be entered into the canon, and an edict had granted approval. In the second month, Chan Master Deguang of Bao'en in Taizhou was ordered by imperial edict to take up residence at Lingyin. In the eleventh month, he was granted an audience at the Xuande Hall. The Emperor asked, "What was accomplished by Śākyamuni through his six years on the snowy mountains?" The Master said, "I had thought Your Majesty had forgotten." The Emperor was pleased, and bestowed on him the title Chan Master Fozhao (the master was styled Zhuo'an).
