律相感通傳 1.75

1.75

又曰：「今諸處塔寺多是古佛遺基，育王表之。故福地常在，不可輕也。今有名塔，如常所聞；無名藏者，隨處亦有。河西甘州郭中寺，塔中有古佛舍利。及河州靈巖寺，佛殿下亦有舍利。秦州麥稜岸殿下，亦有舍利，山神藏之。此寺周穆王所造，名曰靈安，經四十年，常有人出。荊州長寧寺塔是育王造，下有舍利，入地丈餘，石函五重，盛碎身舍利。益州三塔：大石（今名『福感』）、武擔（今名『靜亂』）、雒縣（今名『寶興』），並有神異，如別傳之。」

He also said, "Presently, the stūpas and monasteries in various places are mostly the surviving foundations of ancient Buddhas, which King Aśoka marked out. Therefore, these blessed sites endure constantly and must not be treated lightly. The famous stūpas of today are as commonly heard; unnamed storehouses also exist in various places. In the monastery within the city walls of Gan Prefecture in Hexi, there are ancient Buddha relics within the stūpa. In Lingyan Monastery in He Prefecture, there are also relics beneath the Buddha hall. Beneath the hall at Maileng'an in Qin Prefecture, there are also relics, which the mountain god conceals. This monastery was built by King Mu of Zhou, named Ling'an; for forty years, people were constantly leaving the world [as monks there]. The stūpa of Changning Monastery in Jing Prefecture was built by King Aśoka; beneath it are relics over a zhang deep in the ground, in a five-tiered stone casket containing broken-body relics. The three stūpas of Yi Prefecture—Dashi (now named 'Fugan'), Wudan (now named 'Jingluan'), and Luo County (now named 'Baoxing')—all have divine anomalies, as recorded in their separate biographies."
