Your spirit is firm and upright; your learning is rich and refined. Though you concealed your traces in the Buddhist order, you constantly devoted your mind to the Sagely Way. When We resided in Our princely manor, you were indeed Our guest and counselor. We have personally known of your high righteousness for more than twenty years, following Us from distant lands across tens of thousands of li. Now that We have inherited the throne, We rely on your plans to bring peace. If names are not first rectified, how can the masses be swayed? It is fitting to elevate your status as preceptor and concurrently oversee the pivot of governance. You are specially appointed Grand Master for Splendid Happiness, Grand Protector, and Participant in the Affairs of the Secretariat. Strive, O Minister, to assist Our person and take the lead among your subordinates. Inspect the diligence and indolence of the court morning and night; examine the right and wrong of deliberations. Let all implementations be subject to your decision. We await your accomplishments to show you further marks of imperial favor. Receive this. The month of August, the fifth year of Zhongtong." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.21.58) - [Next: 21.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.21.60) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.21.59) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛祖統紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.48.39) — 志磐, Classical Chinese - [釋鑑稽古略續集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2038.1.17) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.21.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.21.59) · Pramāṇa
