釋氏稽古略 4.57

4.57

御贊舍利　初太祖迎洛陽。唐高宗顯慶年間。大沙門宣律師天王太子所獻佛牙舍利。於東京相國寺灌頂院安奉。至是帝親以烈火煅試。晶明堅固光彩五色照人。帝製贊曰。功成積劫印文端。不是南山（宣律師本傳）得恐難。眼覩數重金色潤。手擎一片玉光寒。煉時百火精神透。藏處千年瑩彩完。定果熏修真祕密。正心莫作等閑看。改灌頂院為法華院。建重閣。以智照大師慧溫主香火（南山舍利碑）。

Imperial praise of the relic: Formerly, Taizu welcomed the Buddha-tooth relic—presented during the Xianqing era of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang to the great śramaṇa Vinaya Master Xuan by the prince of the Heavenly Kings—from Luoyang, and enshrined it in the Guanding (Abhiṣeka) Cloister of Xiangguo Monastery in the Eastern Capital. At this time, the emperor personally tested it with intense fire; it was crystalline, clear, hard, and solid, its five-colored brilliance illuminating people. The emperor composed a eulogy: / "Achieved through accumulated kalpas, the mark and pattern are upright; / Were it not for Nanshan (Vinaya Master Xuan's original biography), it would have been difficult to obtain. / The eyes behold layered golden tints moist and gleaming; / The hands hold a piece of jade-like light cool and pristine. / Calcined through a hundred fires, its spirit pierces through; / Preserved for a thousand years, its lustrous radiance remains whole. / Cultivating the fruit of meditative concentration is truly profound and secret; / With a righteous mind, do not regard it as something ordinary." / He changed the Guanding Cloister to the Fahua (Lotus) Cloister, built a multi-storied pavilion, and appointed Master Zhizhao Huiwen to preside over the incense and lamps (Nanshan sheli bei).
