The above seven works comprising fifty fascicles, from the Bhaiṣajyavastu down, were all translated in the two capitals from the first year of Zhengsheng of the Great Zhou to the second year of Jingyun of the Great Tang, but were not entered into the Kaiyuan Catalogue of Buddhist Teachings. Now, having been searched out, request is made to enter them into the Zhenyuan Catalogue. Among them, three fascicles are still missing because searches for texts have not yet obtained them; for the present they are recorded under the catalogue of missing texts. Lest they be lost or mistakenly treated as offshoot extracts according to previous errors, they are specially noted again here.
The above comprises sixty-one works in two hundred and thirty-nine fascicles (the two works in nine fascicles below the Treatise on the Lotus Sūtra have lost texts).
Added further are seven works in fifty fascicles, among which three fascicles were originally missing.
Śramaṇa Shi Yijing was a man from Qizhou, whose secular surname was Zhang and courtesy name was Wenming. In his childhood years he renounced worldly glory and shed his hair. Thereupon he consulted eminent masters everywhere and gathered widely from various writings, thoroughly mastering both Buddhist and non-Buddhist teachings, and fully understanding both past and present. At the age of fifteen, his aspiration was fixed on journeying to the Western Regions. He revered the refined conduct of Faxian and admired the lofty style of Xuanzang. In addition, his diligence allowed no time to go to waste, and books never left his hands. Upon coming of age and receiving full ordination, his steadfastness grew even more resolute. In the second year of Xianheng, at the age of thirty-seven, his long-cherished aspiration was finally fulfilled. He thereupon proceeded to Guangzhou, initially forming a pact with ten like-minded companions. But when it came to embarking on the ship, all the others shrank back and quit; only Yijing's firm resolve burned ever brighter. He then traveled alone, undergoing countless hardships, and gradually reached India. Wherever he went, he mastered the local speech. Wherever he encountered kings and ministers, he was treated with great respect. He climbed Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa and Mount Kukkuṭapāda in person, and visited the Jetavana and the Deer Park everywhere. He rested at Nālandā, paid homage to the Bodhi Tree, and studied both Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna under eminent masters everywhere. When his tasks were complete, he returned to his native land. In all, he traveled through more than thirty kingdoms, journeying back and forth seeking the Dharma for over twenty years. In the mid-summer of the yihai year, the first year of Zhengsheng of the Empress Regnant, he returned to the Heluo region. He brought back nearly four hundred Indic texts of sūtras, vinayas, and śāstras, amounting to five hundred thousand verses, one set of true likenesses of the Vajrāsana, and three hundred grains of relics. The Empress Regnant, revering the Dharma and honoring the person, personally welcomed him outside the Shangdong Gate. The monastics of Luoyang prepared banners and pennants, and also arranged drums and music to guide him at the head of the procession. The Indic texts he brought were placed at Fo Shouji Monastery, and an order was issued to have them translated. At first, he translated the Avataṃsaka-sūtra together with the Khotanese Tripiṭaka Master Śikṣānanda; only after the Jiushi era did he begin translating on his own. From the gengzi year, the first year of Jiushi, to the guimao year, the third year of Chang'an, at Faxian Monastery in the Eastern Capital and Ximing Monastery in the Western Capital, he translated the Suvarṇaprabhāsottamarāja, Vajracchedikā-prajñāpāramitā, Samādhisaṃketa, Maitreya Becoming Buddha, One-Syllable Spell-King, Alaṃkārarāja-dhāraṇī, Bhadrakārātrī, Saṃsāragati, Rūpāvatī-rāja-nidāna, Anitya, Eight Inopportune and Opportune Occasions, Questions of the Long-Nail Brahmacārin, and other sūtras, as well as the Mūlasarvāstivāda-vinaya, Nidānamātṛkā
