He attended Ciyun's lectures for the longest time, and therefore was able to deeply penetrate the path of contemplation. He was skilled in upholding dhāraṇī methods, empowering water to heal people's illnesses, so that those seeking help crowded like a market. Whenever he recited his daily lessons, his body and the statues he revered both produced relics. In the third year of the Tiansheng era, Ciyun wished to request the inclusion of Master Zhiyi's doctrinal scrolls into the Tripiṭaka canon. Lord Wang Wenmu was about to present the request to court. Siwu said: 'This is an extraordinary matter; this humble one shall assist it.' He then painted an image of the Thousand-Armed Great Compassionate One, recited the dhāraṇī, and made a vow, saying: 'If the matter indeed succeeds, I shall burn my body in recompense.' It happened that Lord Wang passed away, but Siwu recited the dhāraṇī with even greater diligence. The next year imperial permission was granted. The Master was overjoyed; he gathered firewood to make a tower, and informed Ciyun to request a spark of fire. Ciyun took up red charcoal from the brazier and gave it to him; \[Siwu\] stretched forth his hands to receive it, showing no sign of difficulty at all. He then entered the tower of firewood. After the fire subsided, his kāṣāya covered his body just as when he was alive. Ciyun then added fragrant wood and performed dhāraṇī prayers to burn it; it transformed along with the flames. The five-colored relics were beyond count. Even after three years, those who sought them still obtained them. Ciyun composed a praise for him, engraved on stone, which said: > > 'Wu was our disciple; > He bore the Dharma and gave up his body. > Its blazing flames were glorious, > His joy was serene. > When the fire was about to die down, > He remained upright as if cross-legged. > When the bones later broke into pieces, > They shone like rounded pearls. > Truly in antiquity such must have existed, > Yet today there are none like him. > In his prime at thirty, > Truly he was a great hero!' > > (Below this, the Basic Annals lost four high officials.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.11.14) - [Next: 11.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.11.16) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.11.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.11.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.11.15) · Pramāṇa
