48.66

In the first year of Yanyou, an imperial edict was issued to construct the Hall of the Auspicious Sandalwood Image. Chan Master Pu'an was enfeoffed with an additional title. The imperial decree stated: 'We have heard that the Buddhist teachings take emptiness and tranquility as their fundamental principle; how could those who adhere to its learning desire exalted titles and distinctive appellations as a display for the world and posterity? Yet without these, the royal house would have no means to illuminate its intention of honoring virtue and delighting in the Way. Since ascending the throne, We have heard that the Chan Master of Cihua Chan Monastery on Mount Nanquan in Yuanzhou Circuit, Pu'an Ji-gan Miaoji Zhenjue Zhaokuang Dade Huiqing, continued the lineage of Linji and transcended the realm of the Huayan. His virtue illuminated his contemporary era, and his grace covers future generations. His Dao is honored and illustrious, and Our heart deeply yearns for him. His Stūpa of Dingguang may be granted the additional name "Stūpa of the Lingrui of Dingguang".' In this year, Dharma Master Pujue of Qinzhou passed away peacefully.
