佛祖統紀 15.65

15.65

The commentary states: When Fazhi commented on the *Amitāyurdhyāna-sūtra* and the *Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra*, contemporaries of his school and disciples under his direct instruction, such as Jingjue of Gushan, embellished words to argue against him, yet none could prevail in the end. This can still be explained as 'overtly opposing while covertly assisting'. But as for Jiaming [Ruzhan], with his lofty natural endowment and fine virtuous deeds, being a fourth-generation Dharma descendant of Siming [Fazhi] after the revival of the teachings and contemplations, instead of thinking of glorifying and assisting his ancestor's achievements, he actually engaged in deletions and revisions, having the heart to write the records on *Pure Karma* and *Protecting the Country*. Holding a lance in broad daylight, turning against the school and ruining the patriarch, he cast himself down into the company of the Off-mountain faction. How lamentable!
