《资治通鉴·宋纪·宋纪十五》
通直散骑侍郎会稽人虞愿正在一边侍立，说： 那是百姓用卖子、卖妻的钱所建造的，佛陀如果有灵，会慈悲为怀，哭泣哀叹。罪恶高过佛塔，有什么功德！ 
通直散骑侍郎会稽虞愿侍侧，曰： 此皆百姓卖儿贴妇钱所为，佛若有知，当慈悲嗟愍；罪高浮图，何功德之有！ 
Tongzhi Sanqi Shilang Yuyuan of Kuaiji was standing by and said: That was built with money from the sale of children and wives; if the Buddha is enlightened, he will shed tears of compassion and sorrow. The sins are greater than the tower; what merit is there!
