In the first year of Jiayou, on the Qianyuan Festival, an edict ordered the Fusheng Stūpa Cloister of Kaibao Monastery to hold a great vegetarian feast and bestow kāṣāyas on the monks. ○ Li Fugui, Prefect of Xiangzhou, excavated the stūpa foundation of Longxing Monastery and obtained a relic of the Buddha's hair, which spiraled like a conch. When pulled, it became extremely long, and people passed through it back and forth without interruption. Grand Councilor Han Qi built a hall on that site to enshrine it. In the third year, Tripiṭaka Master of Sūtra Translation, Grand Master of the Silver-Blue Glories with Golden Seal, Probationary Minister of the Court of Imperial Entertainments, Great Master Puming Cijue Chuanfan Dharmarakṣa passed away at the age of ninety-six. ○ The Western Xia state memorialized that new monasteries had been built in their territory and requested the bestowal of the Tripiṭaka scriptures; an edict granted it. In the fifth year, Fu Bi, Concurrent Manager of Affairs with the Secretariat-Chancellery, concurrently served as Commissioner for Sūtra Translation and Textual Polish. ○ Duke Fu of Zheng invited Huayan Yong to reside at Zhaoti [Monastery] in Luoyang, and invited Lord Sima Wen to accompany him to welcome him. Suddenly they saw several dozen baggage carriers passing by. Lord Wen asked what they were, and [a bearer] replied: "It is the luggage of the new Abbot of Zhaoti." Lord Wen immediately ordered his carriage to return, saying to Duke Fu: "I have already seen him."
