勅封普庵禪師嘉號　詔曰。上天眷命皇帝聖旨。朕聞。佛氏以空寂為宗。則凡學所遵者。寧欲建名號殊稱謂。以示天下後世哉。而國家非此。無以昭尊德樂道之意也。朕自即位以來聞。袁州路南泉山慈化禪寺。普庵寂感妙濟真覺昭貺大德惠愛禪師。紹臨濟之緒。超華嚴之境。德映當代。澤被方來。其道甚尊顯。心竊慕之。既累賜大諡。惟塔號未稱可加定光之塔。曰定光靈瑞之塔云云。

An imperial decree bestowed an auspicious title upon Chan Master Pu'an. The edict stated: "Imperial edict of the Emperor, favored by the mandate of Heaven: We have heard that the Buddhist school takes emptiness and quiescence as its essential principle; would those who follow its practice ever desire to establish fame and distinctive titles to display to all under Heaven and later generations? Yet if the state does not do so, it has no means to manifest its intent of honoring virtue and delighting in the Way. Ever since Our accession, We have heard that Chan Master Pu'an Jigan Miaoji Zhenjue Zhaokuang Dade Huiai of Cihua Chan Monastery on Mount Nanquan in the Circuit of Yuanzhou succeeded to the lineage of Linji and transcended the realm of the Avataṃsaka. His virtue reflects upon the contemporary age and his bounty covers future generations. His Dao is exceedingly honored and illustrious, and We have secretly admired him in Our heart. Since great posthumous titles have repeatedly been bestowed, only the name of his stupa is not yet commensurate. He may be granted the Stupa of Dingguang, named 'Stupa of the Efficacious and Auspicious Dingguang', and so forth."
