### 重修城南海會寺記

> Record of Rebuilding Nanhai Huisi Temple in Chengzhou

都城之南有寺曰海會者，刱于嘉靖乙未之歲，世穆二廟，咸命僧代度於此。至萬曆元年癸酉，慈聖國太后復發帑金，命內臣周宣、范江撒其圮壞而增修之，江陵張相國為文紀其事，詳且悉矣。

緬惟神宗顯皇帝臨御天下四十有八載，厥聲匪赫赫也、厥靈匪濯濯也。然而歲稔時和，民安物阜，家邦以靖，壽考以寧，是遵何德哉？推本而言，實由聖母垂範宮壼，凡百施為無非慈祥，豈弟之仁？福國祐民之事，神廟惟能孝思無斁，故陰受其庇蔭而不知耳。乃後世弗循也，誤聽訛言，悉舉累葉所崇之象，設萬夫牽挽出諸禁門，燬為通錢焉。及當陽九之厄也，報亦如之。語云「君以是始，亦以是終。」可不戒與？

今上受天眷命，撫有萬方，其于致福未索索然也，特于我法不忘佛囑維。

> The present emperor, blessed by Heaven’s mandate, governs all lands. Yet in his pursuit of blessings, he does not act with restless eagerness.\* He remains especially mindful of the Buddha’s instructions concerning the Dharma. \*Translator’s note: The phrase “未索索然也” (does not act with restless eagerness) implies a calm, non-grasping attitude toward blessings, in line with Buddhist principles of non-attachment. The English rendering prioritizes clarity while avoiding archaic religious phrasing.

時順治丙申，歲久寺穨，都人士謀欲鼎新，乃削牘命本寺僧走江淮，請今憨璞聰公住持是剎，禪眾川趨，宗風大振。丁酉，上狩南苑，因幸寺，延見聰，復召入禁庭問佛法大意，奏對稱旨，乃命結冬萬善殿，賜明覺師號。

> In the year of Bing Shen during the Shunzhi era, as time passed the temple gradually fell into disrepair. The local community of virtuous citizens planned to restore it to its former glory, so they dispatched a monk from the temple to travel to the Jiang-Huai region on horseback, carrying a letter to invite Master Cong (the renowned Chan master known as Hanpu Cong, or "Chan Master Cong of Hanpu") to lead this monastery. Upon his arrival, the congregation of Chan practitioners flocked to him like a river surges into the sea, and the school's teaching tradition flourished once again. In the year Ding You, the Emperor ventured to the Southern Park for a hunt. During his journey, he visited the temple and met Master Cong. Afterward, the Emperor summoned him to the imperial palace, where he inquired about the essential meaning of the Buddha's teachings. Master Cong's responses pleased the Emperor, and so the Emperor commanded that winter retreats be held at the Palace of Myriad Virtues, while bestowing upon him the title "Master of Illumination and Enlightenment."

日昨上謂忞曰：「朕初雖尊崇象教，而未知有宗門耆舊。知有宗門耆舊則自憨璞始，憨璞固有造于祖庭者也。」由是觀之，聰公非明道蓄德之有素，何以導利人主？人主顧久而景慕，且殷殷不解于懷哉。

公住海會凡五載，殿宇廊廡與夫鐘樓鼓閣之屬率煥然一新，總用金錢若干，多三韓耿公樂助，而檀越羅一清實破產隳家力襄是舉者。今秋庚子功用告成，一清念因緣之不偶、締造之維艱也，丐予言記之，將以昭示後人，使永為十方常住，不墜風規焉，庶檀膏信脂為不唐棄云。

於乎！劫火洞然，大千俱壞，須彌巨海磨滅無餘，矧一四天中有閻浮提，閻浮提中有大清國，大清國中有海會寺，刱之自世宗，修之自神廟，以及今之重修，皆未百年也，興廢圮成曾不旋踵如此，欲以予言永之，不亦迂且昧乎？然則如何而可傳？曰「人能弘道，非道弘人」，是在聰公與後聰公而起者之品望去存，則海會之隆替可卜矣。聰公望天童悟老人為四世孫，蓋視予為猶祖也。
