Full text of Danba monument

In the first year of the emperor's accession to the throne, there was an imperial decree: King Kong was a brave teacher, giving the truth that Pu Ciguang shone on the emperor's father, and ordered Meng _ to be a minister and write a book and carve a stone temple.

In the past five years, longxing temple, a monk in Calm Road, fought eight times. Master lived in his temple and begged for a stone carving temple. After that, Minister Meng _, wrote a book for Wen, and Minister Meng _, let him have a big sleep. He used words as his teacher and was widely illuminated by words and wisdom. As a language teacher, he is supreme. He plays for a purpose:

I want to press: the place where the teacher was born is called Sudangsimadan, and the boy became a monk. He is a disciple of Saint Li Chu Zhewa, and has a good reputation. The Vatican said boldly and subtly. First he was secretly banned, and then he traveled to the West Tianzhu country. He was taught by Confucian classics. He went deep into Fahai, studied Taoism and became independent.

Zhiyuan seven years, with the imperial teacher Bathba came to China.

The emperor's teacher is a disciple of Saint Kun. The emperor told me to go back to Xifan, and the teacher was in charge of teaching. Starting from Wutai Mountain, he set up a Dojo, performed secret spells and did Buddhism. He offered Maha to the shrine, kept the precepts, worked tirelessly day and night, and repeatedly demonstrated his wonderful work.

Nature is Desheng, and people are worshipped. Emperor Wu Zong, Huang Wang, and today's emperor and empress dowager all entrusted noble people from laws to kings with heavy treasures and disciples' gifts and were invincible.

Longxing temple was built in the Sui Dynasty, and there is a statue of a bodhisattva in the temple. During the Five Dynasties, the Khitan entered the city and set fire to the temple, as if it were burned by fire. Zhou people took their copper to cast money. Song Taizu cut Hedong, as if Hedong had been destroyed, and sighed for it.

Monks can rumor that the temple has been resurrected, so the imperial edict has been rebuilt. Its statue is seventy-three feet high, and a big pavilion is built to repeat it. The second floor of the wing room is magnificent and unparalleled in the world. The cave is Longxing Cave, so it became the famous Heshuo Temple and Fangying Pavilion. The trees of Keelung River in Wutai Mountain are very beautiful, with different lengths, which match the materials of the pavilion.

When the teacher came to Dongtu, the temple talked about the great monk, Master Xuanwei, Master Yong 'an, etc., and asked the teacher to be the abbot.

In the first month of Zhenyuan year, the teacher suddenly said to the monks, "There must be a saint at the mountain gate, that is, the queen mother plays the emblem of Brahma, and regards today's emperor as the master of great merits and deeds and the temple."

Again, the monk said, "You can talk about the Lotus Sutra every day, no matter when you repeat it." . I spent all my private money on calling on God to support the sacred bow, and I got endless blessings and fragrant fruits, which predicted that Shengde had a symbol of being ordered.

In the first year of Daiyong, the East Palace was built and 50 hectares of old fields were given to the temple as permanent residence. What the teacher said has been tested so far.

In the seventh year of Dade, the teacher crossed into nirvana in the world, and now it is colorful and has countless relics.

Yuan Di ruled the whole country, and western scholars went all the way to China. They are cautious and wise, and no one is like a teacher. My minister Meng _ praised it: a teacher never learns endlessly and never flinches.

Ten buddhas, recorded in one place, become buddhas in the afterlife. They live in a woman's world and talk a lot. As emperors, they are above everything, and gold is the palace.

The seven treasures are wonderful and solemn, and all kinds of exotic things are prepared, and the avenue is set up.

Evil spirits and pagans were shattered without a trace. ?

Protected by magic, the land is quiet, the empress dowager, the longevity of the world, and the various families in the palace, as for the birth and possession of demons, all prove that Buddha and Bodhi have many good fruits and countless blessings. My words spread in all directions and to the next world, and I was amazed.

Translation:

Dayuan presented longxing temple Dajue Puci Zhao Guang with the Supreme Master Monument.

Master Ji Xian, Dr Zi De and Minister Zhao Meng _ Feng Yi personally wrote and sealed it.

After Injong ascended the throne, in the first year of the Qing Dynasty (13 12), posthumous title King Kong was given the title of "Supreme Master Dajue Puci Zhao Guang". At that time, he ordered Zhao Meng, the minister, to write an article, write a monument and carve stones in Dadu Temple. Five years later, the monk who really set the road called eight times in succession, saying that Emperor Danba lived here.

Zhao Meng, the minister, once participated in the discussion of Master Danba of posthumous title. After the last performance, the imperial edict said, "Dajue" refers to the master's dharma body, "great compassion" refers to the master's wisdom shining all over the world, and "supreme" refers to the master who was the emperor's teacher. After playing, the imperial edict said, "The meaning of the discussion is very appropriate."

I want to tell you that the master was born in Tengganstamma. When he was a child, he became a monk. He was a disciple of the holy teacher Li Chu Ziva. He was called timid, and "timid" is Sanskrit, and Chinese means "subtle". The master first accepted the precepts of esoteric Buddhism, and later studied in the West Tianzhu country, visited eminent monks, and studied classics, laws and theories. From then on, he went deep into Fahai.

In the seventh year of Yuan Dynasty (1270), Danba came to China with Baba, the great disciple of Saint Li Chu Zhewa. When Bathsheba told him to go back to Xifan, he entrusted the teaching to Master Danba. Since then, Master Danba has set up a Dojo in Wutai Mountain, practiced secret methods, conducted various Buddhist rituals and offered sacrifices to the Maha Gala God.

Master strictly abides by the precepts. No matter day or night, he never slackens. He often gets miracles, and he is legendary all over the world. Since then, his moral character and achievements have become more prominent, and he has been admired by people and gods.

Emperor Wu Zong, Huang Wang, today's emperors and empresses all learn from him and receive precepts, from kings, generals and nobles, donating treasures, giving their lives to become Buddhists and holding apprentice-receiving ceremonies, which can be described as countless.

Longxing temple was founded in the Sui Dynasty, and there is a statue of Bodhisattva in the temple. In the Five Dynasties, Qidan entered the city and set fire to the temple, and the Buddha statue was destroyed by fire. Later, the bronze statue was used to cast money.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin conquered Hedong, and the bronze statue was destroyed. At that time, a monk told me that there was a prophecy in the temple that it would be resurrected, so Song Taizu wrote to recast the Buddha statue, which was 73 feet high. A three-story pavilion was built outside the Buddha statue and two pavilions were built next to it, which was very magnificent and unique in the world. Since then, longxing temple has become a famous temple in Heshuo area.

At the beginning of the building, there was excellent wood from the Keelung River in Wutai Mountain. The length, size and quantity of the timber meet the requirements for building the pavilion, so Song Taizu sent someone to remove the timber and give it to longxing temple. At that time, monk Yan Hui wrote an article to record this matter.

When Master Danba first arrived in the East, longxing temple talked about the great monk, Master Xuanwei, Master Yong 'an and so on, and asked the master to be the first abbot of the temple. In the first year of Yuan Zhen (1295), the master suddenly said to the monks, "There will be saints to revive this temple soon." So he wrote down the emblem of the Empress Dowager in Sanskrit, and dedicated the current Emperor Renzong as a master of great merits and presided over the temple.

The master also said to the monks, "From today on, you can recite the Hokkekyo one after another every day, without interruption, so as to gather the gods, support the body of the Lord and receive infinite blessings. All expenses required for offerings such as fragrant flowers and fruits will be paid with my personal property. " The master also predicted that Emperor Injong would be king.

Later, in the first year (1308), Renzong was appointed as the Crown Prince and gave longxing temple 50 hectares of old curtilage land as a fixed industry. What the master said has come true so far.

In the seventh year of Dade (1303), Master Danba died in Shangdu, displaying colorful treasures and reaping countless relics.

Our Dayuan dynasty ruled the country, and the masters of Xifan successively came to the Central Plains. None of them is a prudent, wise and magical monk. Therefore, Minister Zhao Meng praised:

This master comes from HarmonyOS system, devotes himself to research and never flinches. He received the notes of becoming a Buddha one by one in the places where the buddhas from the ten countries came. He will become a Buddha in the afterlife and live in a rotating world. He is talking about the endless wonders of Buddhism. As the emperor's teacher, he saved the reincarnation of all beings and lived in a palace built of gold.

Seven kinds of treasures have made this wonderful and solemn Buddhist land, and all kinds of treasures are indescribable. All the sacrifices are complete. This is a magnificent Dojo. Evil spirits and heresy have been shattered, and it is difficult to find traces here.

The supreme power is protected here, making the land of the world safe forever. Long live the emperor and empress dowager, like heaven and earth. Family members and all sentient beings in the palace have been able to prove the wonderful scenery of Bodhi by relying on the power of Buddhism.

All kinds of good fruits can be obtained, and there are countless blessings. I said these words, spread to ten parties, until the future, praise beauty, admiration!
