46.27

In the second year, in the first month, the emperor received the Eight Treasures and granted a great amnesty to the empire. An imperial decree allowed Daokai of Zizhou to follow his own convenience. The master retreated into seclusion at a hermitage by Furong Lake, and students came in ever greater numbers. When the court heard of this, it bestowed the plaque Huayan. ○ The monk Kong Qingjue of Baoying Monastery in the Western Capital resided at the Baiyun Hermitage in Hangzhou. Imitating the Buddhist sūtras, he established the four fruits and ten stages, divided the Great and Lesser Vehicles, and composed several treatises, propagating them among the common people. Those who followed him called him the Upādhyāya of Baiyun, and his disciples were called 'Baiyun Vegetarians.' His teachings specifically attacked the Chan school. Chan Master Juehai Yu vigorously argued against their falsity, and for this he was exiled to Enzhou.
