The śramaṇa Baoqiong was summoned to lecture on the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra in the Chongyun Hall. At the time, the ministers requested to use the Buddha images, precious canopies, spherical jades, and pendant jades (珩 \[héng\], pronounced yan-hang, the jade atop a pendant used to regulate walking pace) from the Chongyun Hall to construct carriages and chariots. Suddenly, clouds and vapors enveloped the hall, thunder and lightning ignited a fire, and in an instant it was completely burned away. Over a month later, someone arriving from the eastern provinces said that on that day he had seen the hall floating across the sea and flying away. There was a nun in Gaoyou who recited the Lotus Sūtra day and night without ceasing; flowers sprouted from all ten of her fingernails and two palms. His Majesty summoned her to the inner palace and, seeing the flowers, deeply praised and revered her; contemporaries called her the 'Flower-Hand Nun.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 37.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.50) - [Next: 37.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.52) - [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.37.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.51) · Pramāṇa
