In the second year, an edict was issued: 'It is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that Mount Luofu is the dwelling place of Huashou Bodhisattva; let Yanxiang Monastery, the Huashou Terrace, and the Mingyue Precept Platform be specially established there.' / Earlier, the śramaṇa Chujin was reciting the Lotus Sūtra at Qianfu Monastery in the capital. When he came to the 'Chapter on the Treasure Stūpa', his body and mind were tranquil and a treasure stūpa suddenly appeared. He then sat in dhyāna for six years, vowing to erect this stūpa. On the day the foundation was laid, the multitude heard heavenly music and rare fragrance. In the imperial palace, the Emperor dreamed that the two characters 'Chu Jin' appeared in empty space. When he inquired of his ministers, they all replied regarding the Master. He then personally wrote the plaque for the Prabhutaratna Stūpa and bestowed silk and copper coins to aid the work.
