For his elder brother Chen Zhen, the master composed the Xiǎo zhǐguān, and \[Chen Zhen\] consulted him and practiced it. Earlier, the immortal Zhang Guo had read Chen Zhen's physiognomy and said: "Your death will occur within a full year." The master then had him practice the Fangdeng repentance. Zhen saw a placard at the gate of a heavenly palace that said: "The Hall of Chen Zhen." Later, Guo saw Zhen and asked in astonishment: "What divine elixir have you taken?" He replied: "I have merely practiced repentance." Guo said: "If not for the power of the Way, how could you transcend death?" In the end, his life was prolonged by fifteen years before he died. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 37.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.67) - [Next: 37.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.69) - [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.37.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.37.68) · Pramāṇa
