Bowing, he said to Zongze: "I wish to enter your Amitābha Society; please record my name." Zongze then took the Register of the Superior Assembly of the Lotus, held the brush, and asked: "What is your name, sir?" He replied: "Puhui." When Zongze had finished writing, the white-robed one said further: "My elder brother also requests to have his name inscribed." Zongze asked: "What is your elder brother's name?" He replied: "Puxian." Having spoken, he disappeared. Zongze awoke and asked the senior elders, who all said: "In the 'Chapter on Transcending the World' of the \*Avataṃsaka-sūtra\*, these are the names of two great bodhisattvas." Zongze considered that when a son of the Buddha performs Buddha-activities to assist the Buddha in propagating the transformation, there must be hidden assistance from the worthy and holy. Such being the case, can those participating in this society be of trifling karmic affinity? Now he thereby made the two great bodhisattvas the heads of this society. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.11.4) - [Next: 11.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.11.6) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970~en-mt.11.5) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [樂邦文類](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1969a.2.188) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.11.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1970.11.5) · Pramāṇa
