Foshuo xiyou da gongde jing (Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on Rare and Great Merit): On the night of the eighth day of the first month, Empress Renxiao was inspired in a dream by the Buddha's preaching; the circumstances are detailed in her own preface. Renzong, the Prince of Han, and the Prince of Zhao all wrote colophons for it in the eleventh month of the fifth year. On the twenty-ninth day of the ninth month, the Left Exalter of the World of this registry, Daoyan, together with the Vice Minister of Works Jin Zhong and the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Zhao Xi, submitted a memorial at the Wuying Hall: "Regarding the scripture printing blocks at Tianxi Monastery, people have come wishing to print them; should we not require them to contribute some donations?" The imperial rescript was received: "Ask them for a little. Respect this."
