> Sūtra Scrolls: The śramaṇa Zhisheng compiled the twenty-volume Kaiyuan shijiao lu (Kaiyuan Era Catalogue of the Buddhist Teachings), cataloguing and arranging Buddhist sūtras, vinayas, and treatises totaling 5,048 fascicles. Sheng also compiled one fascicle of the Xu neidian lu (Continued Record of Internal Scriptures), one fascicle of the Xu yijing tu ji (Continued Illustrated Record of the Translation of Sūtras), and one fascicle of the Xu Fodao lunheng (Continued Balance of Buddhist and Daoist Debates). The Emperor presided at the Hua'e Pavilion and summoned the two teachings of Buddhism and Daoism to debate doctrine. Dharma Master Daoyin debated with the Daoist Yin Qian; Qian was defeated in the debate. An imperial decree ordered that what had been debated be compiled into the Canon under the title Kaiyuan Fodao lunheng (Old Tang History). Dharma Master Daoyin had the secular surname Zhangsun and was a man of Gaoling in Chang'an. His father Rong was an imperial censor of the palace. His mother was of the Ma clan. In the eighteenth year of the Kaiyuan era, at the Hua'e Pavilion in the imperial presence, the superiority and inferiority of the two teachings were evaluated; Daoyin's heroic discourse surged forth like an overflowing river or an inundating ocean. The Daoist Yin Qian answered erratically, his reasoning exhausted, his vocabulary spent, and the tenets of his school confounded. The Emperor repeatedly praised and admired him, bestowing five hundred bolts of silk as a Dharma donation. A separate volume of the Duici lunheng (Imperial Debates) was compiled and widely circulated in that generation. In the twenty-eighth year of the Kaiyuan era, feeling ill, he submitted a final memorial and entered cessation. The Emperor felt profound grief upon reading the memorial and dispatched the palace attendant Jia Wengui with fifty bolts of silk to visit his cloister and present condolences. His worldly age was seventy-three, and his monastic age was fifty-three. On the thirteenth day of the eighth month of that year, he was buried beside the Xiaoyao Garden on the northern slope of Mount Zhongnan (Old Tang History and his own biography).
