In the third year of Diên Bảo, Venerable TĨNH NGHIÊM completed this record with his own brush.
In the first year of Thiên Minh, the Year of the Ox, Master TỪ NHẪN copied it from the canonical edition held by the Trị Tuệ Tâm Institute.
Having now obtained that edition, the Truyền Đăng group of the Từ Tâm Institute on Mount Đương Sơn examined it and engraved it upon wooden printing blocks.
In the inaugural year of Hưởng Hòa, KHỐI ĐẠO of the Tổng Trì Institute at Trường Cốc recorded this.
