46.18

In the third year, an imperial decree ordered the construction of Tailin (the Longevity Mausoleum of Emperor Zhezong). Lou Yi, the magistrate of Dengfeng (the Western Capital, Luoyang; grandfather of Lou Gongkui of Siming, who reached the rank of minister), requested to use surplus labor to renovate the Shaolin bodhimaṇḍa on Mount Songgao. Officials and commoners worked together, and it was completed in a single morning; it was named Facing-the-Wall Āraṇya. Soon after, twelve stems of reishi mushrooms grew in the forest, sweet dew fell upon the pond, and at night a light connected to the sky. Chen Wuji of Houshan wrote a record of it.
