English version Wild animal meat. Let Bamo identify it. Bamo told his mother, 'All living beings cherish their lives; harming their lives is not benevolent.' The mother angrily said, 'Even if I incur guilt because of this, I will bear it for you.' One day, Bamo boiled hot oil, intending to pour it on his own fingers, and said to his mother, 'Endure the pain for your son.' The mother said, 'The pain is on your body; how can I bear it for you?' Bamo said, 'You cannot even bear the present pain; how much less can you bear the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, and animals)?' The mother immediately prostrated and repented, never killing again for the rest of her life. Therefore, (people) trusted and respected Bamo even more. Tuole Qiyou Dao Jiong Cai Ru Jiantuo Le, a person from the Western Regions, came to Luoyang, but no one recognized him. One day, he said to the crowd, 'East of Luoyang is Pan Chi Mountain, where the site of an ancient temple exists.' The crowd did not believe him. So they went to dig, and only after digging very deep did they see the stone foundation. So everyone jointly built a temple to live in. The temple was more than a hundred li (Chinese mile) away from the city of Luoyang. Every morning, Jiantuo Le went to the various temples in Luoyang to attend the meal, and in the evening, he begged for a bowl of oil to return to the temple to light the lamps, which he did as a regular practice. A person who was good at walking wanted to follow Jiantuo Le to observe his speed, but he could not keep up even by running. Jiantuo Le told him to grab the corner of his clothes, and he only heard the sound of the wind rushing, and before he knew it, he had arrived at that temple. Dao Jiong served Dao Yi as his teacher. Dao Yi fell ill and sent four people from the same temple to Huo Mountain in Henan to collect stalactites, entering the cave. They crossed wooden logs to cross the water many times, and three people drowned. The torch went out again, and it was of no use. Dao Jiong then only recited the Lotus Sutra. Suddenly, he saw a light like a firefly, which he could not catch up with, (that light) illuminated the cave, and (Dao Jiong) was able to get out of the cave. (Zhi) Seng Da Bai Fa Jue Ming Chi Zi Seng Da of the pseudo-Wei (referring to the Northern Wei Dynasty, 386-557 AD), was knowledgeable both internally and externally, and people at the time praised him. (But) he was strong-willed and offended others, and was exiled to live in Changsha. Seng Da's hair turned white from a young age, so the world called him White-Headed Da. Fotuo Yeshe, translated into Chinese as Jue Ming. As a child, he recited millions of words of the Mahayana and Hinayana scriptures in the Buddhist order, and he also understood the meaning of the principles. Kumarajiva regarded him as a teacher, and (Fotuo Yeshe) was proficient in the Vibhasa. (Fotuo Yeshe) had a red beard from a young age, and at that time (people) called him Red-Bearded Vibhasa.

From a young age, he was intelligent and extraordinary. He deeply studied both internal and external scriptures. He wrote more than forty volumes of commentaries, inscriptions, and treatises.

Once, he and several classmates were touring the mountains and saw a wildfire burning. Everyone ran away to avoid it, but Lingrun walked calmly as usual.

Thinking that escaping from fire can avoid fire is impossible.' When the fire reached Lingrun's body, it suddenly dissipated. Zhikai. His surname was 𠗦 (pronounced wei). His father died early. At the age of six, he listened to Dharma Master Jizang lecturing on the 'Burning House' chapter of the *Lotus Sutra*. At night, he told his mother: 'The burning house mentioned in the sutra refers to my body. This is my burning house, and I should be burned. Since others will not be burned, it shows that there is no self.' All night until dawn, he went to see Dharma Master Jizang and became a monk. His appearance was black, and he was known as Wukai at the time. At the age of thirteen, he could lecture on sutras and treatises.

At that time, they were suspicious of each other. Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to get rid of them, so he made two cakes, one containing a pair of raw deer antlers and the other containing five liters of salt, and gave them both to eat. The one who ate the salt died of a ruptured abdomen, but Minggong was not harmed at all by eating the deer antlers. Therefore, he woke up and became a monk, living in Huishan Temple.
