1.26

「至秦穆公時，扶風獲一石佛，穆公不識，棄馬坊中，穢污此像。護像神瞋，令公染疾。公又夢遊上帝，極被責教，覺問侍臣。由余答云：『臣讀古書，周穆王時有化人來此土，云是佛神。穆王信之，於終南山造中天臺，高千餘尺，基址見存。又於蒼頡臺造神廟，名三會道場。公今所患，殆非佛神為之耶？』

"In the time of Duke Mu of Qin, a stone Buddha was found in Fufeng. Duke Mu did not recognise it and cast it into the horse stables, defiling the image. The deity protecting the image grew wrathful and afflicted the Duke with illness. In a dream, the Duke also journeyed to the High Emperor, where he was severely rebuked and admonished. Upon waking, he questioned his ministers. You Yu answered, 'Your servant has read the ancient books: in the time of King Mu of Zhou, a transformed person came to this land, claiming to be a Buddha spirit. King Mu believed in him and built the Central Heaven Terrace on Mount Zhongnan, over a thousand feet high, whose foundations still exist today. He also built a shrine at the Cangjie Terrace called the Three Assemblies Sanctuary. Is not your Grace's present affliction caused by this Buddha spirit?'
