The Sengshilüe states: "During the Kaicheng era of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang dynasty, monastic registrars of the Left and Right were first established, beginning with Dharma Master Duanfu. Dharma Master Duanfu was summoned into the imperial palace by Emperor Dezong to debate with Confucians and Daoists; he was bestowed a purple square robe and ordered to attend the Crown Prince at the Eastern Palace. Emperor Shunzong respected him like a brother, and Emperor Xianzong treated him like an honored guest and friend. He was in charge of Dharma ceremonies in the inner halls and registered the monastic affairs of the Left Street."
