...Holy Dynasty, this Way has been revived. Luoxi and Baoyun raised it up before, while Siming and Ciyun magnified it afterward. Thus, Fazhi's founding of Nanhu and Ciyun's establishing of Lingshan were both cases of disregarding their own persons for the sake of the Dharma to consolidate their vows, and they were followed by Shenzhao inaugurating Baiyun, and Biancai opening Shangzhu. Thereupon, lecture platforms opened across both east and west of Zhejiang, and they were ultimately able to rely on these monasteries to settle the vast assembly and practice the Great Way. Who could say that the duty of transmission and propagation does not lie in the place? Moreover, the monastery of Lingshan suffered bandit fires three times without being destroyed. Is this not truly proof of the utmost person chanting dhāraṇīs, exerting effort, and possessing resolute power of vows?"
