English version: Shedding tears of sorrow, they lamented their transgressions. The disciple, burdened by debts owed to others, vowed to repay them through his own labor, even if it meant serving as a worker for the venerable one. The disciple feared that if he remained foolish, he would surely sink into hell after death. Yuan Gong (name of a monk) said, 'Now the debts have been repaid, do not doubt any longer. From now on, do not engage in laborious work again. Advise your disciples not to incur debts, and if they do, they must repay them. This humble monk is willing to act as guarantor.' (The disciple) had been a slave for six years, unable to settle the debt. With the shallow understanding of a mortal, wouldn't this be a grave sin, creating numerous offenses? How can he repent? At that time, the audience wept and lamented. Yuan Gong (name of a monk) also felt deeply saddened. Thousands of people gazed in reverence and paid homage, and tens of thousands praised him. On that day, the audience all renounced stinginess and greed. At that time, because Yuan Gong (name of a monk) had not yet concluded the matter, he was requested again by the assembly and the Prime Minister. Yuan Gong (name of a monk) ascended the high seat once more. On that day, Yuan Gong (name of a monk) was like a withered tree on a cliff, experiencing spring again, or like a hooked fish, released and returning to the river and sea. His innate spirit was different from ordinary people, and his bone structure, appearance, and demeanor were rare in the world. The bells and chimes were struck again, and the title of the sutra was raised again to proclaim it to the masses. At that time, Dao An (name of a monk) was also seated in the assembly. At that time, as soon as Yuan Gong (name of a monk) began to expound the title of the sutra, the earth was felt to shake in six ways, and auspicious clouds of five colors covered the sky. Hundreds of thousands of celestial beings played palace music together, and countless sages chanted Sanskrit sounds in unison. The sound of the sutra was clear and distinct, and the rhythm of the Dharma was melodious. The masses, witnessing this scene, felt it was rare, and the audience said it was seldom seen. At that time, the Prime Minister once again opened a feast of fragrant rice at the gathering in Lian Palace, gathering monks and nuns from both streets. Taking golden knives to shave their heads. On that day, the Prime Minister wrote a memorial in Fu Guang Temple, and presented it to Emperor Wen of Jin (Emperor Wen of Jin). The emperor read the memorial and was very pleased, praising repeatedly, saying, 'Wonderful, words cannot describe it!' At that time, there was an imperial decree, ordering the Ministry of Personnel to arrange for the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism to go to Fu Guang Temple together to welcome Yuan Gong (name of a monk) into the palace for offerings. At that time, successive imperial decrees bestowed upon Yuan Gong (name of a monk) a scepter, a string of prayer beads, a six-ringed tin staff, and several pairs of monastic robes, and also sent an imperial carriage to welcome him. Yuan Gong (name of a monk) entered the palace, and the imperial decree had been issued, and everyone inside and outside knew about it. The Prime Minister arranged the majestic Buddhist ceremony and entered the temple directly, and invited the master to board the carriage. At that time, Yuan Gong (name of a monk) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: I have no intention of disrespect. Although I am the ruler, governing this land, I am always grateful when a venerable monk visits my small kingdom. I beseech the monk to have compassion and stay for another three to five days, if possible. Yuan Gong (a respected monk) said, 'The true meaning of Nirvana (Nirvana) is without clinging. If there is clinging, it is all delusion.' I implore Your Majesty not to be saddened. This humble monk has a wish to return to the mountain. The Emperor, seeing Yuan Gong's earnest words and finding it difficult to keep him, ordered that the six palaces be informed first, and preparations for his departure be made in secret. At that time, the Emperor was reluctant to part, and the ministers also saw him off. Yuan Gong set out, leaving the palace and bidding farewell to the dragon tower, looking towards Lushan Mountain (Lushan), the journey was long, and he enjoyed the rivers and streams, carefree and content. On that day, Yuan Gong was able to walk a long road and immediately manifested supernatural powers. After Yuan Gong left Chang'an (Chang'an), clouds arose beneath his feet, like the arms of a male □□. In a short time, he arrived at Lushan Mountain. Yuan Gong also did not return to the old temple, which was ten miles away, but came to a steep ridge and temporarily built a thatched hut. There, he sat in the lotus position, reopened the old scriptures, and recited the sutras again. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed. Yuan Gong suddenly looked towards the plateau, where the terrain was steep, the peaks echoed with the cries of cranes, and the valleys resonated with the roars of dragons, and the valleys were filled with blooming flowers. The terrain was flat, the water flowed continuously, and the garden was full of flowers that never withered, it was the place where the Tathagata (Tathagata) practiced. Therefore, Yuan Gong sat upright in meditation, contemplating the Buddha's path, mindful of the brevity of life and the impermanence of the mortal world, and then used his own mind-king to build a Dharma boat, returning to the upper realm. Yuan Gong built the boat without using ordinary materials, nor did he need any self-sustaining, using the un-leaking Mahayana as the cable, Bodhi Prajna (Prajna) as the railing, and Vajrapani (Vajrapani) as □□□. Recorded by Zhang Changji in the fifth year of the Kai Bao era. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
