48.29
In the second year, on the Tianji Festival, the emperor presided at the Yanhe Hall and ordered Master Foguang to lecture on the Avataṃsaka Sūtra. The imperial mind was immensely delighted, saying: "This is indeed different!" The emperor asked about the samādhi of non-contention. The Master said: "Vasubandhu's treatise explains: 'Non-contention means absence of desire; where there is desire, there is contention.' Subhūti did not merely attain the samādhi of non-contention, but was also the foremost and supreme leader among all who attained the samādhi of non-contention." It was appropriate that [the emperor] personally composed a record for the Guanyin Hall and inscribed it on stone in the imperial hand.
