（其七）仁壽二年八月十三日。沂州臨沂縣人孫抱長。午前於龕所奉見信心殷重。後限滿被替獨到龕所。辭別洒淚向僧說如此。

(7) On the thirteenth day of the eighth month of the second year of the Renshou era (602 CE), Sun Baozhang, a man of Linyi County in Yizhou, saw [the Master] before noon at the niche with deep faith. Later, when his term of service ended and he was relieved, he went alone to the niche to bid farewell, shedding tears as he recounted this to the monks.
