English version Studying diligently like this. Faxiang (name of a person). His appearance was unique. He received the full precepts at a young age and was very focused on listening to and learning the Dharma. In the early years of the Zhenguan period (627-649), a person from Changzhou went to Youzhou and saw a woman. He asked her if Dharma Master Xiang of Hailing was well and if she knew him. The woman replied that she did not know him. The person then entrusted her to send a piece of black silk cloth headscarf to Dharma Master Xiang. Later, the person sent the headscarf, and Dharma Master Xiang asked his disciple to greet him. They met at the gate, and the person gave the headscarf to Dharma Master Xiang. Dharma Master Xiang received the headscarf, held it, and sighed with emotion. Dharma Master Xiang tore the headscarf and distributed it to his disciples, each receiving a piece, while some did not receive any. In the same year (the second year of Zhenguan, 628), the empire recruited volunteer soldiers, and those who were privately ordained without enlisting would be executed. People were afraid upon hearing this news, and those who had received the headscarf returned to lay life. Dharma Master Xiang allowed those who had not received the headscarf to be ordained again. Everyone felt sad. This event indeed fulfilled Dharma Master Xiang's previous premonition. Tucheng (name of a person) washes his intestines, Fodiao (name of a person) appears. The monk, Zhu Fotucheng (name of a person) of Ye city, could recite millions of words of Buddhist scriptures and was proficient in the meaning of the scriptures. He entered the territory of the Jin Dynasty to travel and teach, debating the Dharma with the scholars in the court. His eloquence was outstanding, and no one could surpass him. Soon after, the capital was in turmoil, and he went into seclusion in the countryside. At that time, Shi Le (name of a person) was stationed with his troops at Gebei, specializing in killing, and many monks were killed as a result. Tucheng then came to the military gate with his staff, wanting to influence Shi Le. Shi Le summoned Tucheng and asked, 'What is the spiritual efficacy of Buddhism?' Tucheng knew that Shi Le did not understand Buddhism deeply, so he used simple things to teach him. He asked Shi Le to bring a vessel filled with water and chanted a mantra. After a while, a blue lotus flower grew in the water. Shi Le therefore trusted him very much. Later, when Shi Hu (name of a person) ascended the throne, Tucheng also used simple things to teach him. Tucheng had a hole next to his left breast, four inches in diameter, which was connected to his intestines. Sometimes the intestines would come out of the hole, and sometimes he would plug the hole with cotton. When he wanted to read at night, he would pull out the cotton, and the whole room would become bright. When it was time for fasting, he would go to the water's edge and pull out his intestines to wash them, and then put them back in. Later, he died at the age of one hundred and nine. Zhu Fodiao (name of a person) took Tucheng (name of a person) as his teacher and often lived in the mountains, taking cultivation as his task, and eventually died in the mountains. Several years later, eight lay disciples of Fodiao went into the mountains to cut wood and suddenly saw Fodiao on a high rock, his clothes bright and clean, his appearance joyful and pleasant. The disciples were surprised and bowed, saying, 'Venerable Master, you are here!' Fodiao said, 'I have always been here.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xuan Gao Enters Wei, Bo Yuan □□ (Two characters are obliterated, suspected to be 'Death Qin'.) Qin Xuan Gao (?-?) resided in Tangshan, Linyang, Hebei, deeply studying Buddhist scriptures, with more than a thousand disciples. At that time, Tuoba Tao (408-452) (Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei) of the Wei Dynasty occupied Pingcheng. Tuoba Tao heard of Xuan Gao's reputation and invited him to enter the Wei capital. Later, Tuoba Tao killed Xuan Gao and died. The whole country was in grief. Xuan Gao's disciple, Xuan Chang, was in Yunzhong, six hundred miles away from the Wei capital, and finally arrived. Overwhelmed with grief, he and his fellow students wept and begged the monk to reappear and give them an instruction. After a while, Xuan Gao opened his eyes, his complexion as before. He told the disciples, 'The Great Dharma responds to changes and prospers and declines according to conditions. You will soon be like me. After you die, the Great Dharma will flourish.' After saying this, he died again. Bo Yuan (?-?), styled Fazu, was known for his Confucian learning in his youth, and later became a monk, proficient in scriptures and treatises, and skilled in translation. Later, seeing the flames of war, he wanted to retreat to Qinlong. It happened that Zhang Fu was appointed as the governor of Qinzhou, garrisoning Qinlong, and traveled with Bo Yuan. Zhang Fu, because of Bo Yuan's prominent reputation, wanted him to return to secular life and become his colleague. Bo Yuan's will was firm and unyielding, thus incurring resentment, and he wanted to find an opportunity to kill him. Bo Yuan suddenly told the monks and disciples on the road, 'I will have an adversary in a few days.' So he bid farewell, distributed scriptures, images, and clothing, etc. The next morning, he went to Zhang Fu's place to talk, and Zhang Fu ordered his subordinates to arrest him and whip him, and he suddenly died. Soon, the Taoists and people of Longshang heard about this and were very grieved, leading troops to attack Zhang Fu. Zhang Fu was defeated and also died. Sun Chuo, in 'Discourse on Eminent Worthies,' compared Bo Yuan to Ji Kang (224-263) of the Jin Dynasty.
