48.21

五年。詔雲間文果住下天竺寺。遣中使齎御奩。賜無量壽佛像建閣。嚴奉奎章大書其扁昭回雲漢。時上竺虛席。京兆端明趙公與權奉無以易文果。詔曰可。是歲天旱。請觀音大士出明慶寺。師入奉謝。御駕幸寺請禱。師啟白詞意簡切。上契宸衷。駕回而雨。即頒左街僧錄。及佛慧大師之號。

In the fifth year, an imperial decree appointed Wenguo of Yunjian to reside at Lower Tianzhu Temple. An envoy from the inner palace was dispatched bearing imperial toilet articles and bestowing a statue of Amitāyus Buddha, for which a pavilion was built. They reverently installed the imperial calligraphy, which boldly inscribed its horizontal plaque so that it shone brilliant against the clouds and the Milky Way. At that time, the abbot's seat at Upper Tianzhu was vacant; the Metropolitan Prefect and Academician of the Duanming Hall, Zhao Yuquan, presented a petition stating that there was no one who could replace Wenguo, and an imperial decree approved it. That year there was a drought, and they invited the Mahāsattva Guanyin out to Mingqing Temple. The Master entered to offer thanks, and the imperial carriage visited the temple to pray. The words the Master addressed to the throne were concise and incisive, fitting well with the imperial mind. As the imperial carriage returned, rain fell. Thereupon he was immediately granted the title of Clerical Registrar of the Left Street and bestowed the title of Great Master Fohui.
