詔中使梁從政。闢汴京相國寺六十四院。為二禪八律。起自元豐庚申成是壬戌之秋。以東西序為慧林智海二巨禪剎。驛詔杭州淨慈禪師宗本住慧林。江州廬山東林禪師常總住智海。總辭之固。詔容之就賜號廣慧禪師(僧寶傳)。

An imperial decree ordered the palace commissioner Liang Congzheng to reopen the sixty-four cloisters of Xiangguo Monastery in the capital, Bianjing, converting them into two Chan and eight Vinaya [cloisters]. This began in the gengshen year of Yuanfeng and was completed in the autumn of this renxu year. The eastern and western corridors were designated as the two great Chan monasteries, Huilin and Zhihai. An imperial decree carried by courier ordered Chan Master Zongben of Jingci in Hangzhou to reside at Huilin, and Chan Master Changzong of Donglin on Mount Lu in Jiangzhou to reside at Zhihai. Changzong resolutely declined; an imperial decree permitted this and thereupon bestowed on him the title Chan Master Guanghui (Sengbao zhuan).
