English version Tánshǐ (Dharmāditya) with white feet, Luóchā (Vimalākṣa) with blue eyes Tánshǐ (Dharmāditya). After entering the path, he manifested many extraordinary signs. He traveled and taught in the Guanzhong area, his face was fair, and his feet were white. Even when walking barefoot in muddy water, he was never soiled. People all called him 'White-Footed Monk'. At that time, Hèlián Bóbó carried out massacres in Guanzhong, and Tánshǐ (Dharmāditya) later encountered calamity. He was cut several times, but none of the wounds harmed him. So he went into hiding in the mountains. Later, Tuòbá Tāo (Emperor Taiwu) (424-452 AD) entered Guanzhong, and Cuī Hào of Bólíng was suspicious of Buddhism, so he believed in the Taoist master Kòu Qiānzhī. Tuòbá Tāo (Emperor Taiwu) and Cuī Hào then completely abolished Buddhism in the seventh year of the pseudo-Wei Taiping (446 AD). The army burned down temples, and monks and nuns were forced to return to secular life. Those who fled were hunted down and beheaded. When Tánshǐ (Dharmāditya) heard about it, he went down the mountain and came to the palace gate with his staff. The authorities reported: 'There is a Taoist with a fair face and white feet, now at the palace gate.' Tuòbá Tāo (Emperor Taiwu) ordered him to be beheaded, but he could not be harmed. So he reported this to Tuòbá Tāo (Emperor Taiwu). Tuòbá Tāo (Emperor Taiwu) was furious and personally cut him several times with his sword, but there was no damage. At that time, tigers were raised in the North Garden, so Tánshǐ (Dharmāditya) was used to feed the tigers, but the tigers all lay dormant and did not approach. When the Taoist master was tried, the tigers roared and rushed over. Tuòbá Tāo (Emperor Taiwu) then realized the superiority of Buddhism, so he retreated, ascended the hall to repent, and later revived Buddhism. ('Above entering Guanzhong, there is a repeated character. Reduce Buddhism. One is to destroy Buddhism') Bēi Mó Luó Chā (Vimalākṣa). Meaning 'Immaculate Eye'. Kumārajīva revered him as a teacher, especially proficient in the Vinaya Pitaka, and deeply studied the rise of the precepts. At the beginning of Bēi Mó Luó Chā (Vimalākṣa), Dàochǎng Huìguān reorganized the tenets, recorded and judged the severity of the internal prohibitions, which spread widely in the capital. Monks and nuns copied them, and the price of paper in Chang'an rose for a time. Later, it spread throughout the world. Bēi Mó Luó Chā's (Vimalākṣa) eyes were blue, and people at the time called him 'Blue-Eyed Vinaya Master'. Monk Hóng casts statues, Shìxíng burns scriptures Monk Hóng. Lived in the capital and built a sixteen-foot-tall golden statue. The casting was completed, but the mold had not yet been opened. At that time, at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the copper ban was very strict, and violators would be put to death. Hóng was imprisoned in the Prime Minister's mansion, and his heart was only mindful of the Buddha. At night, he dreamed that a person who wished to cast a statue stroked the top of Hóng's head and said: 'Do not worry, you will be acquitted tomorrow.' In the morning, he heard that the execution was about to take place, and the military supervisor of the Prime Minister's office was about to carry out the execution, but the ox ran away and the cart broke, so the execution was postponed. Soon, an order came to pardon him. Zhū Shìxíng --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Xing. After becoming a monk, he devoted himself to the study of scriptures and thoroughly understood their meaning. Later, he entered the quicksand region and arrived at the kingdom of Khotan (present-day Hetian, Xinjiang). There, he obtained ninety chapters of the forbidden Mahayana scriptures and sent his disciples back to Luoyang. At that time, the monks of Khotan all studied Hinayana Buddhism and did not understand Mahayana Buddhism, so they reported to the king, saying, 'The Shramanas (monks) of the Han land want to confuse the true Dharma with Brahmanical books. Your Majesty is the master of this land. If you do not prohibit them and allow the people of the Han land to be deceived, it will be Your Majesty's fault.' The king then refused to allow the scriptures to be brought into the Han land. Shi Xing (person's name) was deeply saddened, so he requested to burn the Mahayana scriptures as proof. The king then allowed him to do so. So, firewood was piled up in front of the palace to burn the scriptures. Shi Xing vowed, 'If the Great Dharma should be propagated in the Han land, then the scriptures should not be burned.' Then he threw the scriptures into the fire, and the flames immediately went out, without damaging a single word. Finally, he was able to bring the scriptures back to Luoyang. This burning of scriptures happened at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (220 AD). During the reign of Emperor Ming of Han (58-75 AD), Teng (person's name) and Lan (person's name) competed with Taoism and burned scriptures, which was different from this event. (Zhi) Sheng Rong is the foremost, Guan Zhao is the first. Dao Sheng (person's name) and Dao Rong (person's name) of the Song Dynasty were both proficient in Confucian and Buddhist principles, with quick minds. There were also Hui Guan (person's name) and Seng Zhao (person's name), who were also proficient in internal and external scriptures, and it was difficult to find opponents in debate. Therefore, the talents of the time praised them, saying, 'In terms of understanding emotions and principles, Dao Sheng and Dao Rong are the foremost; in terms of being skilled in debate, Hui Guan and Seng Zhao are the first.' Their reputation spread widely. Zhi Shun upholds the precepts, Dao Fang transmits the Vinaya. Zhi Shun (person's name), after entering the path, lived in Tuixian Temple on Zhongnan Mountain. From a young age, he specialized in upholding the precepts, strictly observing them, which was extraordinary. He gathered disciples to chant, often with more than a thousand people. Later, he became seriously ill. His disciple Tan He (person's name) saw that his master had been fasting for a long time, so he secretly cooked porridge with honey and a little rice and offered it to Zhi Shun. Zhi Shun vomited it out after eating it and asked for water to wash his mouth. He told his disciple Tan He, 'You quickly leave the mountain gate and do not return here, you are not my disciple.' This is how strict he was in upholding the precepts. (The 'Mountain Gate Biography' records it as Yunmen) Dao Fang (person's name) was pure and chaste in nature. In his youth, he was proficient in the Vinaya Pitaka, diligently lecturing and guiding, and many people came to study. He tried his best to make them correct their evil deeds. For those who did not correct themselves, Dao Fang always wept sadly for them and transmitted the Vinaya to them. Later, he lived to be one hundred and twenty years old before he passed away, and people all praised him.
