He cited: "In the past, [people from] the kingdom of Goryeo came to Qiantang and carved a sacred image of Avalokiteśvara. When it was carried onto the boat, it could not be moved at all. Consequently, they invited it into Kaiyuan Monastery in Mingzhou to make offerings to it. Later, someone posed a question: 'There is no land in which [Avalokiteśvara] does not manifest a body—why did the sacred image not go to the kingdom of Goryeo?'"
