上列事條。反則滅法。順則興教。并陳表狀及佛道二論。立主客論小大。嵩以理通我不事二家。惟事周祖。以二家空立其言。而周帝親行其事。故我事帝不事佛道。立詞煩廣。三十餘紙。大略以慈救為先。彈僧奢泰不崇法度。無言毀佛。有叶真道也。故唐吏部唐臨冥報記云云。

Therefore I serve the emperor and do not serve Buddhism or Daoism.' His phrasing was elaborate and expansive, covering more than thirty sheets of paper. In broad outline it took compassionate deliverance as primary, censuring monks for luxury and extravagance and for not honouring the laws and regulations; it did not utter words slandering the Buddha, but was in accord with the true Way. Therefore the Mingbao ji by Tang Lin of the Tang Ministry of Personnel states such and such.
