華嚴經傳記 5.5

5.5

魏安豐王延明中山王熙。竝以宗室。博古學文。俱立道場。齋講相續。以香汁和墨。寫華嚴經一百部。素書金字華嚴一部。皆五香厨。四寶函盛。靜夜良辰。清齋行道。每放五色神光。照耀臺宇。眾皆共觀。倍更發心。

Prince Yanming of Anfeng and Prince Xi of Zhongshan of the Wei were both members of the imperial clan. Widely versed in antiquity and learned in literature, they both established bodhimaṇḍas, conducting fasts and lectures without interruption. Mixing aromatic juice with ink, they copied one hundred sets of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, and one set of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra in gold characters on fine white silk. All were housed in cabinets of the five fragrances and enclosed in cases of the four precious substances. On quiet nights and auspicious occasions, they maintained pure fasts and circumambulated the path. Divine light in five colours would frequently emanate, illuminating the terraces and buildings. The assembly all beheld it together, and their resolution was doubled.
