京師崇義寺石影像者。形長八寸徑五寸八楞紫石英色。梁武太清中。有僧從外國將來。遇亂安廬山像頂上。隋煬在蕃鎮江陽。見別記往求得之。及登儲貳送於曲池日嚴寺。寺廢入崇義寺。京師道俗咸就見之。往往不同。見佛見神。山林幢蓋者前後異等。貞觀七年勅迎入內。

Regarding the stone shadow image of Chongyi Temple in the capital: it is eight inches long and five inches in diameter, octagonal, and the color of amethyst. During the Taiqing reign era of Emperor Wu of the Liang, a monk brought it from a foreign country. Encountering disorders, he installed it upon the crown of an image on Mount Lu. When Emperor Yang of the Sui was stationed as a prince in Jiangyang, he saw an external record, went to seek it, and obtained it. When he became the crown prince, he sent it to Riyan Temple at Quchi. When the temple was abandoned, it entered Chongyi Temple. Both clergy and laity of the capital all went to see it, and their perceptions often differed: seeing a Buddha, seeing a deity, or seeing mountains, forests, banners, and canopies—the visions varied from one time to another. In the seventh year of the Zhenguan reign era, an imperial decree welcomed it into the inner palace.
