佛祖統紀 38.21

38.21

十一年。白足沙門曇始（足白於面時號白足）於元會之日杖錫宮門。帝命趣斬之（趣音促）無所傷。大怒自以佩刀擊之不死。又令捕投虎檻。虎皆怖伏。帝大驚召登殿拜謝。忽身感厲疾（厲癘同癩疾也）痛不可忍。群臣皆言。崔浩毀佛所致。帝懼甚。時崔浩刻所撰國史於石。以彰直筆。帝惡其暴揚國惡。乃令載浩露車。使十人椎。於車上溺其口（溺乃弔反小便）腰斬之。誅及五族僚屬百二十人。即下詔復佛法。初浩除釋氏。行路見棄像必停車溺之。及族誅屍無收者。人競溺浩屍。至糜潰乃止。

In the eleventh year, the white-footed monk Tanshi (his feet were whiter than his face, so he was called 'White-Foot' at the time), on the day of the New Year assembly, leaned on his monk's staff at the palace gate. The emperor ordered him to be quickly decapitated (qu is pronounced cu), but he was unhurt. In great anger, the emperor struck him himself with his personal blade, yet he did not die. He then ordered him seized and thrown into a tiger pit, but the tigers all crouched in fear. The emperor was greatly astonished, summoned him to ascend the hall, and bowed in apology. Suddenly the emperor contracted a malignant disease (li is the same as li, meaning a leprosy-like illness) with pain that was unbearable. The ministers all said that this was brought about by Cui Hao's destruction of Buddhism. The emperor was terrified. At that time, Cui Hao had carved the national history he had compiled on stone to display his upright brush. The emperor hated his public exposure of the state's evils, and so ordered Hao to be carried in an open cart, having ten men strike him, urinate into his mouth while in the cart (ni is pronounced naidiao, meaning urine), and cut him in two at the waist. The executions extended to five degrees of his clan and one hundred and twenty subordinates. The emperor then issued an edict restoring the Buddhist Dharma. Earlier, when Hao was eradicating Buddhism, whenever he traveled the roads and saw an abandoned image, he would certainly stop his cart and urinate on it. When his clan was executed, there was no one to collect his corpse; people vied to urinate on Hao's corpse until it was reduced to mush, and only then did they stop.
