《陈书·列传·卷二十一》
姚察幼年曾到钟山明庆寺尚禅师那裹受菩萨戒，等到在陈做官，俸禄都捐给寺裹作修建用，又为禅师补立石碑，碑文写得遒劲华丽。
察幼年尝就钟山明庆寺尚禅师受菩萨戒，及官陈，禄俸皆舍寺起造，并追为禅师树碑，文甚遒丽。
When Yao Cha was a child, he went to Mingqing Temple in Zhongshan to take the Bodhisattva commandment from Master Shang. When he was an official in Chen, he donated all his salary to the temple for repairs and also erected a stone tablet for the Zen master. The inscription on the tablet was written with great vigor and splendor.
