集神州三寶感通錄 1.33

1.33

十七并州子城東淨明寺塔者。本號育王。是僧所住。唐初已來僧散寺空。尼請居之。余往問塔。全無蹤跡。但有空名。遂失其本。

Seventeenth: The Jingming Temple stūpa east of the inner city of Bingzhou was originally named King Aśoka; it was a dwelling place for monks. From the beginning of the Tang onward, the monks dispersed and the temple was empty; nuns requested to dwell there. When I went to inquire about the stūpa, there were no traces left at all; there was only an empty name, and its origin was lost.
