冬十月二十日。慈聖光獻太皇大后曹氏崩。宣淨因禪師道臻。入慶壽宮陞座說法。僧問。慈聖僊遊定歸何處。師曰。水流元在海。月落不離天。宮庭無不加敬襧之曰善。帝悅賜與甚厚。及神宗上僊。哲宗詔師福寧殿登高座說法。詔曰。禪師道臻素有德行。可賜號淨照禪師。

In the tenth month, winter, on the twentieth day, Grand Empress Dowager Cao, Cisheng Guangxian, passed away. An imperial decree summoned Chan Master Daozhen of Jingyin to enter the Qingshou Palace, ascend the seat, and preach the Dharma. A monk asked: 'Whither must Cisheng have gone on her immortal journey?' The master said: 'The water flows, originally in the sea; the moon sets, not leaving the sky.' In the palace court, there was none who did not treat him with added reverence, praising him with 'Excellent!' The Emperor was pleased and bestowed very generous gifts upon him. When Emperor Shenzong ascended to the immortals, Emperor Zhezong summoned the master to the Funing Hall to ascend the high seat and preach the Dharma. The decree read: 'Chan Master Daozhen has long maintained virtuous conduct; he may be granted the title Chan Master Jingzhao.'
