普覺法師　姓趙氏。諱英辨。號普覺。弱冠受具戒。得慈恩宗於柏林潭法師。出世於秦州景福寺。其道大振聲馳四表。摧伏異見樹正法幢。而其資性真純。如玉含璞不加雕繪。人愛重之。致於悍卒武夫亦能敬其。為無佛世之佛也。世祖聞其高風。降旨旌異。是年六月庚戌無疾辭眾坐寂。煥異景於易簀之夕。標奇迹於火化之餘。塔於普覺寺之後。閱世六十有八。臘六十有一（佛祖通載）　十一月京師旱疫。帝問弭災之道。學士程鉅夫舉湯禳桑林事以對。帝曰。此實朕之責也。赤子何罪。明日大雪。以西僧作佛事。疎放罪囚。

> Dharma Master Pujue: Surnamed Zhao, taboo name Yingbian, styled Pujue. At the age of twenty he received full ordination. He attained the Ci'en lineage under Dharma Master Tan of Bailin. He entered the world \[as abbot\] at Jingfu Monastery in Qinzhou. His teaching flourished greatly and his fame spread across the four borders; he subdued divergent views and set up the banner of the true Dharma. Yet his natural endowment was true and pure, like an uncarved jade without added polishing; people cherished and respected him, to the extent that even fierce soldiers and martial men were able to revere him as a buddha in an age without a buddha. When Shizu heard of his lofty manner, he issued an edict to commend and distinguish him. In the sixth month, on the gengxu day of this year, having no illness, he bid farewell to the assembly and entered cessation in a seated posture. Resplendent, unusual scenes appeared on the evening he changed his mat \[of death\], and wondrous signs were marked upon what remained after the cremation. A stupa was erected behind Pujue Monastery. He lived for sixty-eight years, with sixty-one monastic years (Fozu tongzai). In the eleventh month, drought and pestilence struck the capital. The Emperor asked about the way to avert disaster, and Hanlin Academician Cheng Jufu replied by citing King Tang's prayer at the Mulberry Forest. The Emperor said: "This is indeed our fault; what crime have the innocent people committed?" The next day heavy snow fell. Because Western monks conducted Buddhist rituals, criminals and prisoners were given remission and released.
