An imperial decree ordered the carving of two sets of printing blocks for the Great Canon: one canon in Nanjing with six lines and seventeen characters [per line], and one canon in Beijing with five lines and fifteen characters [per line]. Another decree ordered a stone-carved canon to be installed in a great stone cave. The imperial decree stated: 'In the future, when the wooden ones decay, the stone one will remain.' Two large monasteries were built in Beijing, and intelligent monks were selected to serve as abbots. On the twenty-seventh day of the seventh month, the two monks Wenlu and Tianyi were summoned, and gāthās on the seven buddhas were bestowed upon them. On the nineteenth day of the eighth month, the assembly of monks celebrated the emperor's longevity; they entered the inner palace and were granted seating and a feast. On the eighteenth day of the twelfth month, Chan texts were bestowed for entry into the canon: Sayings of Ancient Worthies, Verses on Ancient Cases Linked like Pearls (twenty-two fascicles), and Continuation of the Record of the Transmission of the Lamp (thirty-six fascicles); and for the doctrinal school, the Comprehensive Genealogy of the Buddhas and Patriarchs in forty-five fascicles.
