43.16

In the third year, the Śramaṇa Daoyuan of Cangzhou, who had traveled through the Five Indias for eighteen years back and forth, arrived at the capital together with envoys from Khotan, presenting Buddha relics, palm-leaf manuscripts, and Sanskrit scriptures. The Emperor summoned him to the side hall for an audience, inquiring about the customs of the Western regions, and bestowed upon him a purple square robe, vessels, and silk fabrics. Li Tuo, Grand Master for Thorough Counsel, submitted a memorial stating that Ruan Shaozhuang, Judicial Officer of Xiongwu, dreamed of Chan Master Yunmen instructing him to present a memorial requesting the opening of his stupa. An imperial decree was issued, and the garrison officials of Shaozhou opened and inspected it, seeing the master's true body looking as if alive. They thereupon welcomed it to the court for offerings, and after over a month escorted it back to the mountains. An imperial edict posthumously conferred the title Chan Master of Great Compassion, Primal Truth, and Vast Illumination.
