The Qin ruler, together with three thousand monks at Caotang Monastery, held the older sūtras in hand and collated and verified them anew. An imperial order commanded Senglüe and others to consult and receive Kumārajīva's purports. Because many monks and nuns were undisciplined, Senglüe was appointed National Monastic Rectifier, with the rank equal to a Palace Attendant and granted carriages and attendant staff; Faqin was appointed Monastic Registrar; and Sengqian was appointed Rector, their ranks and stipends having distinctions (read as chuyi, meaning unequal; modern people mostly reading it as chujia are mistaken), each being provided thirty trusted unranked attendants (meaning unranked commoner attendants, not registered conscripted soldiers). Dai Yong was the son of Kui, gifted and skillful like his father. Jiang Yi once entrusted Yong to make an image of Avalokiteśvara, but after many years it was still not finished. At night he dreamed of someone saying, 'Jiang Yi has no affinity with Avalokiteśvara; it may be changed to Maitreya.' Yong rushed to report this, but Yi's letter had already arrived; both had experienced the dream on the same night. When he altered it to make Maitreya, every touch of his hand was marvelous (the statue is at Longhua Monastery in Kuaiji). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 36.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.62) - [Next: 36.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.64) - [Up: 36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.36.63) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.36.63) · Pramāṇa
