Vinaya Master Yuanzhao of Lingzhi universally exhorted both monks and laity to take refuge in Amitābha Buddha of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. At that time, Su Shi, Academician of the Hall of the Dragon Diagram and Prefect of Hangzhou, donated the hairpin and earrings left behind by his mother, Lady of the Grand Commandery of Shu, née Cheng, and commissioned a polychrome painting of Pure Land Buddhist images to dedicate merit to his parents, further composing a eulogistic hymn for it (Dongpo wenji). In winter, the tenth month, Chan Master Zongze of Changlu Cloister in Zhenzhou organized a grand Lotus Pure Land Buddha-Recitation Society together with famous and eminent figures of the time (Weijiang ji).
