3.89

The above was memorialized by Amoghavajra of Vast Wisdom, Specially Advanced, Probationary Court of Imperial Regalia Chamberlain, Tripiṭaka Śramaṇa of Daxingshan Temple: Previously, when the aforementioned monk appeared capable of overseeing monastic affairs, Amoghavajra accordingly recommended him to serve as the abbot of Xingshan Temple. Now, I have received a complaint from Ruqian and others among the monastic assembly stating that this monk, since taking charge of the administration, has misappropriated the permanent property of the community, demolished monks' quarters to build his own private rooms, unreasonably driven family servants, and engaged in illicit relations with wives, concubines, and assemblies of nuns who lodge there without avoiding suspicion. He is currently being interrogated by Jingzhao Municipal Government, and his misdeeds have been exposed. Fearing that he may be punished according to the penal law, which would truly bring shame upon the Dharma gate, I humbly beg that his monastic robes be preserved and his monk's status not be stripped, but that he be ordered to return to his original temple in Luhun, allowing him to reform his errors and practice for the sake of the state.
