晉太元中。於奉高縣金輿山谷。起立塔寺造製形像。苻堅之末降斥道人。唯敬朗一眾不敢毀焉。于時道俗信奉。每有來者。人數多少未至一日輒已送知。使弟子為具。必如言果到。其谷舊多虎。常為暴害。立寺之後皆如家畜。鮮卑慕容德以二縣粗調充其朝中。至今號其谷為朗公谷云。

During the Taiyuan era of the Jin, he erected a stūpa and temple and fashioned images in the Jinyu Mountain valley of Fenggao County. At the end of Fu Jian's reign, when Buddhist monks were demoted and banished, only Lang and his community were respected, and none dared harm them. At that time, clergy and laypeople had deep faith in and revered him. Whenever visitors came, regardless of their number, he would already know and announce it a day before their arrival, having his disciples make preparations; they inevitably arrived just as he had said. That valley formerly had many tigers that often caused violent harm, but after the temple was established, they all became like domestic animals. Murong De of the Xianbei used the rough levies of two counties to supply his court. To this day, that valley is called 'Master Lang's Valley.'
