Edict 1SZ-01-02

To the Petitioners, 

''We have seen your plans to build a temple within the Capital walls, dedicated to the veneration of Buddha. While it is not of a sect with the Donghai school, the veneration of Buddha is itself a good cause to support. ''

''Therefore we command the following: for the Palace Office to choose woodfish, bells, offering vessels and the like, of excellent quality, to be given to the new temple for their use, and for the Privy Treasury to donate 5,000 taels of silver, to fund repairs and feed the monks and laymen therein.
