4.91

The Emperor decreed that the Monastic Registrar of the Right Street prepare ceremonial regalia, music, and flower banners to welcome the Buddha's tooth relic from Da Xiangguo Monastery and make offerings to it at the pagoda of Kaibao Monastery. The Emperor issued an imperial eulogy, stating:
"In the west arose the Sage, Śākyamuni,
Who received beings and bestowed compassion, the World-Honoured One.
I ever aspire to cultivate and advance, augmenting excellent fruits,
Longing to bring rich benefits and abundance to the multitude." (Relic Preface of Imperial Eulogies of Three Reigns).
