3.227

In the jiachen year, the fourth year of Changqing, in winter, the emperor passed away in his bedchamber. Jingzong ascended the throne in the eastern wing of Taiji Hall. In the twelfth month, Wang Zhixing, Surveillance Commissioner of Xu and Si, requested on the emperor's birthday that an ordination platform be established in Sizhou to ordain monks and nuns to foster merit. The emperor granted it. Stone-wall engravings of the Lotus Sūtra were carved at Yongfu Temple in Hangzhou, for which Yuan Zhen wrote the inscription (Book of Tang, Old History, Illustrated Treatises).
