《太平广记·卷九十九·释证一》
第五个和尚是灵觉寺的宝明，他自己说，出家之前曾作过陇西郡太守，建造了灵觉寺，然后弃官出家修道，虽不坐禅诵经，却能按时礼拜。
有一比丘云是灵觉寺宝明，自云： 出家之先，常作陇西太守。造灵觉寺成，即弃官入道。虽不禅诵，礼拜不缺。 
The fifth monk was Baoming from Lingjue Temple, who said that before he became a monk, he was the governor of Longxi Commandery. He had built Lingjue Temple, and after giving up his official position, he became a monk to practice cultivation. While he did not meditate or chant sutras, he did pay his respects on time.
