In the wuwu year, the third year of Xianqing, on the twelfth day of the sixth month, the emperor completed the founding of Ximing Monastery. On the thirteenth day, the emperor brought out embroidered images and long banners to send to the monastery for consecration. Shortly thereafter, he summoned seven monks and seven Daoists to the Hall of Hundred Blessings to discuss profound principles together in order to edify one another. He again granted each of them seats to engage in debate. The full text is recorded in Vinaya Master Daoxuan of Mount Nanshan's Lunheng. In the seventh month, an imperial decree welcomed Dharma Master Xuanzang to enter and reside in Ximing Monastery. In the tenth month of the fourth year, the emperor converted Yuhua Palace into a monastery to honor the late emperor, and decreed that Master Xuanzang should reside there. In the fifth year, the emperor visited the Eastern Capital, and issued an edict summoning the monks Yibao, Huili, and others to go to the capital Luoyang. They met the emperor in the Hall of Joined Discs, and their discourse pleased him. They were kept to reside at Jingtu Monastery in the Eastern Capital (from Biographies of Monks).
