46.5
Second year [1087 CE], seventh month. Zhang Shangying traveled to Mount Wutai. At midnight at Bimo Cliff, he saw the Great Being Mañjuśrī in a body of golden light. In the ninth month, setting out from Taiyuan to inspect Shouyang, he arrived at Zhaohua Cloister on Mount Fang, the very place where Elder Li [Tongxuan] had composed his treatise. Beneath a ruined house, he obtained the Huayan jueyi lun (Treatise on Resolving Doubts Concerning the Avataṃsaka). As he read it quickly, his doubts were instantly resolved. He at once ordered the county to erect a statue of the Elder, and a round white halo appeared to the south of the mountain. Thereupon the village elders jointly requested to renovate the cloister, and Shangying composed a record for it.
