In the second year, in the third month, the imperial carriage visited Upper Tianzhu to burn incense and pay homage to the Great Being. An edict was issued to establish a Golden Light Bodhimaṇḍa for Protecting the Country, and the seal of Baiyun Hall was bestowed. All the sects of the three learnings throughout the empire were ordered to go to Baiyun Hall, and to jointly recommend appointments, using this seal to report to the authorities. In the sixth month, Master Ne of Upper Tianzhu was summoned for a private audience in the Inner Contemplation Hall. In the twelfth month, an imperial envoy was dispatched to Mount King Aśoka to receive the Buddha's relic stupa. While the Emperor gazed and worshipped, he saw what looked like a moon disc atop the stupa; on another day, he again saw what looked like crystal. An edict was issued to escort it to the Eastern Palace; the Crown Prince saw successive layers on the wheel of the stupa looking like strung beads of crystal.
