When Emperor Wu first changed the mandate, Zhang Qi killed the Marquis of Donghun and sent his head to the Emperor, exterminating his lineage. Several years later, Emperor Jianwen was born. Master Zhi said to the Emperor: 'This child is born together with his nemesis.' For Hou Jing had been born in that same year in Yanmen. When Jing conquered Jiankang, Emperor Wu passed away, and Emperor Jianwen subsequently met with calamity; many sons and grandsons of the Liang were slaughtered. Therefore, contemporaries claimed that Hou Jing was the rebirth of the Marquis of Donghun. Chan Master Huiwen of Northern Qi, while reading the Great Treatise (Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa), came upon the verse in the Chapter on the Four Truths: 'Whatever phenomena arise from conditions, / I declare to be empty; / It is also a conventional designation, / And also the meaning of the Middle Way.' He experienced a sudden great awakening. Thereupon, he took Nāgārjuna as his distant master, established contemplation based on the treatise, and transmitted it to Chan Master Huisi. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 37.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.41) - [Next: 37.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.43) - [Up: 37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.37.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.42) · Pramāṇa
