### 重興顯聖寺󳬴記

> Record of the Revival of Xiansheng Temple

茲山者玉笥山也。茲寺者雲門寺也。以馬祖高弟大珠和尚於此住持。故有是額。樂天有石路雲門裏花宮玉笥前之句。寺廢。後周顯德間。僧重耀建顯聖懺院于雲門之故址。宋乾德元年勑改今額。理宗皇帝祖吳宣憲王陵𥨊在寺後。勑改顯聖陵院。隣有六寺。二菴。謂淳化。雍熈。長慶。壽聖。淨聖。餘皆廢。惟茲寺獨存。陵為胡元所毀。寺僧維之。僅存故蹟。而術士家傳有隹穴。好事者多垂涎。屢興訟。嘉靖間。住僧景詮上本克復。萬曆間。復訟縣。姑蘇翁公愈祥宰其事。獲妥。太史陶君石簣。太學張君𤀹元。請予住持。寺產舊頗多。今皆廢。僅頹屋三楹。田四畆。山五畆。地十二畆。予用價二十九兩從龍華贖回。協力二十餘年。始得大殿禪堂僧室一新。幾五十餘間。復置田四十餘畆。予朽矣。年逼風火。恐後來者不知前人艱苦。認為己物。恣意盜賣。故備述往事。以為求鑑云爾。

> This mountain is the Jade Basket Mountain. This monastery is Cloud Gate Monastery. Because the Great Pearl Master, a senior disciple of Patriarch Mazu, once resided here, the monastery received this name. As the poet Bai Juyi wrote, "A stone path leads into Cloud Gate; a flower palace stands before Jade Basket." The monastery later fell into ruin. During the Xiande era of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the monk Chongyao built the Repentance Cloister of Manifest Holiness on the original site of Cloud Gate Monastery. In the first year of Qiande in the Song Dynasty, it was officially granted its current name by imperial decree. Emperor Lizong's ancestor, the Prince of Wu, Xuanxian, had his tomb behind the monastery, so it was renamed the Manifest Holiness Tomb Cloister. Nearby there were six monasteries and two nunneries: Chunhua, Yongxi, Changqing, Shousheng, Jingsheng... All the rest have since fallen into ruin, and only this monastery remains. The tomb was destroyed during the Yuan Dynasty. The monastery's monks managed to maintain it, but only its ruins remain. Feng shui masters claimed this site held an excellent burial spot, and many covetous people desired it, leading to repeated lawsuits. During the Jiajing era, the resident monk Jingquan brought a case to recover the property. During the Wanli era, another lawsuit was brought to the county court, and it was finally settled by Master Weng Yuxiang of Gusu. Grand Historian Tao Shigui and Imperial Academy Scholar Zhang Yuwen then invited me to serve as abbot. The monastery's original landholdings were once quite extensive, but now most have been lost. Only three tumbledown buildings, four mu of fields, five mu of hills, and twelve mu of land remained. I redeemed them from Longhua Temple for twenty-nine taels of silver. After more than twenty years of joint effort, I rebuilt the main hall, meditation hall, and monks' quarters, making everything look new—nearly fifty rooms in all. I also acquired over forty mu of additional fields. Now I am old; my years are drawing near their end like fire and wind. I fear that later generations, not knowing the hardships endured by those who came before, may claim these things as their own and sell them off recklessly. Therefore, I have written this full account of past events, as a mirror for future generations.
