On the 15th of the 4th moon of the 2nd year of Jian
ming of the Great Tai [I.e. Wei] dynasty [16 May, 531], the Buddhist lay
disciple Yuan Rong, since he lives in danger of his life, has long been
parted from his home and has a constant longing to return, therefore in
his own person and that of his wife and children, his male and female
servants, and his domestic animals, makes on behalf of the Celestial
King Vaiśramaṇa a donation to the Triratana of the sum of a thousand
silver cash; and as ransom money, a thousand cash to ransom himself and
his wife and children, a thousand cash to ransom his servants, and a
thousand cash to ransom his animals. The money thus paid to the Church
is to be used for copying sūtras, with the prayer that the Celestial
King may become a Buddha, and that the disciple's family, servants and
live-stock may be richly endowed with the blessing of long life, may
attain enlightenment, and may all be permitted to return to the capital.
This is his prayer.
