釋寶積。姓朱。冀州條人。割略愛網訪道為任。浮遊靡定不存住止。齊亡法毀潛隱太山。迴互魯兗乃經年稔。開皇十四年。隋高東巡候駕請謁。一見便悅。下勅入京住勝光寺。講揚智論及攝大乘。而體量虛廓不計仇隙。曾有屏毀達其耳者。解衣遺之曰。卿見吾過。真吾師友。仁壽初年。勅送舍利於華岳思覺寺。寺即左僕射楊素之所立也。初下之晨。雲垂四布雪滿山邑。天地奄暗逼目無見。及期當午忽爾天清日朗。現五色雲於塔基上。去地五丈。圓如輪蓋。遙有見者。望其蓋上朱光赫奕。團團直上遠連天際。暨于覆了雲合光收。還如晨旦。積後卒於京室。

> Śramaṇa Baoji, whose secular surname was Zhu, was a native of Tiao in Jizhou. Cutting off the net of affection, he took seeking the Way as his duty. Wandering without fixed abode, he kept no permanent residence. When the Northern Qi fell and the Dharma was destroyed, he went into hiding on Mount Tai, moving back and forth between Lu and Yan for several years. In the fourteenth year of the Kaihuang era \[594\], when Emperor Gaozu of the Sui toured the east, Baoji awaited the imperial carriage to request an audience. Upon meeting him, the Emperor was immediately pleased and issued an imperial decree ordering him into the capital to reside at Shengguang Monastery, where he lectured on the Dazhidulun and the Mahāyānasaṃgraha. His disposition was vast and open, bearing no grudges. Once, when a secret slander reached his ears, he took off his robes, gave them to the slanderer, and said: 'You see my faults; you are truly my teacher and friend.' In the first year of the Renshou era \[601\], an imperial decree commanded him to convey relics to Sijue Monastery on Mount Hua, which had been founded by the Left Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs, Yang Su. On the morning of the initial enshrinement, clouds gathered on all four sides and snow covered the mountains and towns, the heavens and earth so overcast and dark that nothing could be seen close before one's eyes. When midday arrived, the sky suddenly turned clear and the sun shone brightly. Five-coloured clouds appeared above the stūpa foundation, five zhang above the ground, round as a wheeled canopy. Those who saw it from afar beheld a brilliant vermilion light atop the canopy, surging directly upward in a circle to connect with the far reaches of the sky. When the covering of the foundation was completed, the clouds closed and the light withdrew, returning to how it had been at dawn. Baoji later died in the capital.
