Transmission of the Lamp: The Wu monk Daoyuan compiled the encounters of Śākyamuni the World-Honoured One, the First Patriarch Kāśyapa, down to the various patriarchs of the transmission of the Chan school in the Eastern Land, into the thirty-fascicle Jingde Record of the Transmission of the Lamp and presented it [to the throne]. The Emperor reviewed and praised it, decreeing that Hanlin Academician Yang Yi and others revise and edit it, compose a preface, and distribute it for inclusion in the Tripiṭaka to circulate throughout the realm (Scripture Catalog).
