察幼年嘗就鍾山明慶寺尚禪師受菩薩戒，及官陳，祿俸皆捨寺起造，并追為禪師樹碑，文甚遒麗。 In youth he had received bodhisattva precepts at Mingqing Temple on Zhongshan from Master Shang. In Chen office he gave all his salary to temple building and later erected a stele for the master in forceful prose.

吾在梁世，當時年十四，就鍾山明慶寺尚禪師受菩薩戒，自爾深悟苦空，頗知回向矣。 In Liang, at fourteen, I took precepts at Mingqing Temple on Zhongshan from Master Shang. Since then I have deeply known the emptiness of suffering and somewhat understood turning merit toward others.
