佛祖統紀 34.45

34.45

四月十五日。大迦葉升須彌山（此云妙高）檛銅犍稚（檛陟瓜反擊也。犍稚音䖍地。聲論云。鐘又隨有金木可擊者。皆通稱）集千阿羅漢（此云無生）結集法藏（結諸法義集以成文。經律論三通稱法藏）阿難禮僧。升座唱言。我聞如是一時佛在所居處（一切經首皆安此言）迦葉大眾皆悉墮淚。昨日見佛今日已稱我聞（智論）。

On the fifteenth day of the fourth month, Mahākāśyapa ascended Mount Sumeru (here translated as 'Wonderfully High') and struck a bronze gaṇḍī (strike: pronounced 'zhi-gua', meaning to strike; gaṇḍī: pronounced 'qian-di'. The treatises on phonology say: a bell; moreover, whatever wood or metal can be struck are all generally referred to by this name), gathering one thousand arhats (here translated as 'unborn') to compile the Dharma-piṭaka (collating all Dharma principles and gathering them into texts; the three—sūtras, vinaya, and treatises—are collectively called the Dharma-piṭaka). Ānanda saluted the Saṃgha, mounted the seat, and proclaimed: 'Thus have I heard: at one time the Buddha was dwelling in such-and-such place' (this phrase is placed at the beginning of all sūtras). Kāśyapa and the great assembly all shed tears: 'Yesterday we saw the Buddha, and today he is already described as "I heard"' (Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa).
