> The Zhiyuan Temple was founded by Wang Shao, the Cavalry General of the Jin Dynasty and a native of Langya. It stood north of the ancestral shrine of his ancestor, the Duke Wenxian Wang Dao, on the eastern outskirts of the capital city. <note place="inline">To the southeast of what is now the Ming Imperial Palace</note> The halls and chambers were gathered together, with a hedge of trifoliate orange trees planted as a fence—hence the name "Zhiyuan" (Orange Garden). During the Long'an reign period, Wang Huan, the Duke of Shixing, accompanied Liu Yu on the western campaign to Chang'an. There he encountered the monk Shi Zhiyan and requested that he return to the capital. Initially, Zhiyan resided at Shixing Temple. <note place="inline">According to the "Biographies of Eminent Monks," the so-called Shixing Temple Lane was actually the shrine of Duke Wenxian. The Duke of Wenxian was the Duke of Shixing, and the shrine was referred to as a temple—such occurrences are not uncommon among the six dynasties.</note> Later, because Zhiyan found the bustle there too distracting, he moved to this temple. It was not until the time of Wang Shao's great-grandson, Wang Huan, the Minister of Personnel during the Qi Dynasty, that a five-story pagoda was erected in the sixth year of the Yongming era. Shen Yue composed the inscription for the foundation stone. However, the "Biographies of Eminent Monks" tells a different account: a monk named Fa Kai had a disciple named Fa Kui, who as a novice would gather alms from collective vegetarian feasts and use the proceeds to craft a sandalwood image of the Buddha. Once the image was completed, he held a grand assembly at the Great Market, at Dinglin Temple, and at his own temple, appearing in three places at once to receive offerings. That evening, he returned and lay down to rest, passing away peacefully. His body emitted a fragrant scent, his hands remained soft, and two fingers were bent—all who saw it believed he had attained enlightenment. When Emperor Wu of the Qi Dynasty heard of this, he personally came to pay homage, with monks offering incense. Both Crown Prince Wenhui and Prince Jingling Wenxuan also arrived, paying their respects at his chamber and overseeing his funeral arrangements. The common people flocked like clouds, and donations piled up. With these accumulated offerings, a pagoda was also constructed at Zhiyuan Temple in the seventh year of the Yongming era. It is likely that when Fa Kui built his pagoda, Wang Huan happened to be serving as Minister of Personnel, and since the temple was originally a family shrine of the Wang clan, the construction was attributed to him.

> Record of the Stone Monument at the Zhiyuan Temple's Stupa, by Shen Yue The late General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Shao of Langya, attained profound awakening through his own solitary insight, and his faith and understanding were deep and subtle. North of the ancestral temple of Duke Wenxian, he established the Zhiyuan Monastery. At its beginning, fragrant citron trees were planted as hedges, and thus it was named after its surroundings. Though the halls and chambers were solemn and orderly, the jeweled stupa had not yet been erected. Shao's great-grandson, Huan, who served as Shangshu Puye (Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs) and Chief Rectifier of Nanzhou, deeply comprehended the nature of Dharma and thoroughly understood the essence of the teachings. From the time he set out from his post in the southern region, he relinquished his official rank, and made a vow at the old temple to erect a five-tiered stupa. He contributed from his own official salary, giving one-tenth of all his earnings. In total, he gathered three hundred sixty thousand measures. On the third day of the sixth month in the sixth year of the Yongming reign of Emperor Wu of Qi, which was a blessed day chosen by the heavens for a new era to begin, a great monument was raised in this sacred ground.

> The Biography of Shi Zhiyan from Zhiyuan Temple in the Capital of the Song Dynasty Zhiyan once stayed at a hermitage in the eastern mountains. When Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty campaigned westward to Chang'an, Duke Wang Hui of Xing, who had been appointed as the founding duke, requested that Zhiyan be invited back to the capital. Wang Hui was deeply devoted to the Way and treated him with great respect, hosting him at Xing Temple. Zhiyan, by nature, valued tranquility and sought to avoid the noise and bustle of worldly affairs. Wang Hui then built a new hermitage on the eastern outskirts of the city, which became Zhiyuan Temple.

> A Biography of Shi Fagui from Zhiyuan Temple in the Capital, Qi Dynasty He left home to become a monk at a young age and was a disciple of Fakai, the abbot of Zhiyuan Temple. At every prayer gathering, he would pool the offerings he received to build a sandalwood statue of the Buddha. When the statue was completed, he hosted his own grand ceremony. His family lived near the Great Market in the capital. On that morning, he returned home, then went to Dinglin Temple, and later came back to Zhiyuan Temple. Later, when people checked with all three locations, each confirmed that they had seen Fagui come for the midday meal—truly he was present at three places at the same time. That evening, he returned to his quarters and lay down, passing away peacefully. His body remained soft and fragrant, and his hand was bent with two fingers extended. Everyone believed he had attained the fruit of enlightenment. At that time, he was still a novice monk, yet his spiritual traces were extraordinary. When this was reported to Emperor Wu, the emperor personally visited, convened an assembly of monks, and offered sustenance. Prince Wen Hui and Prince Wen Xuan also came to his quarters to pay respects and manage the arrangements for his funeral. The people flocked like clouds, and gifts piled up. With the donations collected, a stupa was built at Zhiyuan Temple. This occurred in the seventh year of the Yongming era of the Qi Dynasty.
