宋高僧傳 24.35

24.35

初金髫年寫《法華經》，不衣縑繒，寒加艾納而已。弟子慧空、法岸、浩然皆隨象王之子也。紫閣峯草堂寺飛錫碑文，吳通微書。至貞元十三年四月十三日左街功德使開府邠國公竇文場奏「千福寺先師楚金是臣和尚，於天寶初為國建多寶塔，置法華道場，經今六十餘祀。僧等六時禮念，經聲不斷，以歷四朝，未蒙旌德。」勅諡大圓禪師矣！

Earlier, when Jin was a youth, he copied the Lotus Sūtra; he never wore fine silks, but only added mugwort-fiber garments against the cold. His disciples Huikong, Fa'an, and Haoran were all followers of the son of the Elephant King. The stele inscription for the miraculous staff at Caotang Temple on Purple Cloud Peak was composed and written by Wu Tongwei. On the thirteenth day of the fourth month in the thirteenth year of Zhenyuan, the Commissioner of Meritorious Deeds for the Left Street and Duke of Bin State, Dou Wenchang, memorialized: "The late master of Qianfu Temple, Chujin, was my former ācārya. In the early Tianbao era, he erected the Prabhūtaratna Stupa and established a Lotus Bodhimaṇḍa for the nation. More than sixty years have passed since then. The monks have bowed and recited during the six periods of the day, the sound of the sūtras never ceasing, enduring across four reigns, yet his virtue has not yet received an imperial title." An imperial decree posthumously bestowed upon him the title Dhyāna Master Dayuan.
