At this time, he first crossed westward to reside at Ancient Lingshan Monastery in Hangzhou (now Lower Tianzhu). Originally, Dharma Master Huili from Western Jin India resided there; it was the site where the eminent Sui monk Zhenguan lectured on the Lotus Sūtra, and Dao biao of the Tang continued and completed it. By the time of Emperor Xizong, it was destroyed by bandits. On the western cliff stood a withered juniper trunk, remaining after the destruction by fire. The Dharma master sprinkled it with water and prayed over it, and its branches and leaves flourished again. He vigorously practiced the four kinds of samādhi and established a Golden Light Repentance Hall. For every single rafter and brick, he necessarily chanted the Great Compassion Dhāraṇī seven times. The halls and buildings being fully prepared, a memorial was submitted and the court bestowed the plaque "Tianzhu Lingshan Monastery" to transmit the Tiantai teachings and contemplation (Record of the Extensive Acts of the Penance Master). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.4.116) - [Next: 4.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.4.118) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.4.117) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.4.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.4.117) · Pramāṇa
