Earlier, Sun Jingde had made a statue of Avalokiteśvara. Later, he committed an offense punishable by death. In a dream, a monk taught him that reciting a scripture could deliver him. Once awake, he completed a thousand recitations. When he approached the execution ground, the executioner's blade broke three times. The officer in charge reported this, and an edict was issued pardoning him. Upon returning home, he saw three blade marks on the neck of the statue. This scripture was then propagated and titled the Gaowang Avalokiteśvara Sūtra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 38.74](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.38.74) - [Next: 38.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.38.76) - [Up: 38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.38) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.38.75) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.38.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.38.75) · Pramāṇa
