Relic Stūpas: When the Buddha entered extinction, Śakra erected four stūpas in the Great City of Good Sight (Sudarśana): the Hair Stūpa in the Illumination Park east of the city, the Robe Stūpa in the Rough-Bark Park south of the city, the Bowl Stūpa in the Joyous Park west of the city, and the Tooth Stūpa in the Chariot-Driving Park north of the city; these are called the Four Stūpas of Trāyastriṃśa. Furthermore, the stūpa of the birthplace in Kapilavastu, the stūpa of the attainment of the Way in Magadha, the stūpa of turning the wheel of the Dharma in the Deer Park of Vārāṇasī, and the stūpa of the nirvāṇa between the twin trees in the city of Kuśinagara are called the Four Stūpas Among Humans (from the *Ekottarāgama*). One hundred years after the Buddha's extinction, King Aśoka took the Buddha's relics, and by night commanded spirits and deities to grind the seven treasures into powder to build eighty-four thousand stūpas. The Venerable Yaśas stretched out his fingers and emitted rays of light, eighty-four thousand beams, ordering winged spirits each to follow one beam of light to its end and erect a stūpa. In a single day, they covered the continent of Jambudvīpa. There were nineteen such stūpas in Cīnasthāna (from the *Chronicle of King Aśoka*; among the nineteen stūpas, five known locations are: the Eastern Holy Mound of Baima Monastery in Luoyang, the stūpa of Changgan Monastery in Jiankang, the King Aśoka stūpa in Siming, Linzi, and Chengdu, which all have King Aśoka stūpas; Liu Sahe heard this in a dream spoken by Avalokiteśvara).
