Considering that the text and meaning of the Great Calming and Contemplation were so vast and extensive that readers spent whole days on them, he edited and condensed them into six rolls to circulate in the world. Li Hua, Director in the Bureau of Personnel, had once studied calming and contemplation under Jingxi. Jingxi wrote an essay for him titled 'The General Import of Calming and Contemplation,' which encompassed the great work as plainly as pointing to the palm of one's hand. Among the scholar-officials who studied together at that time, Cui Gong, Sanqi Changshi, and Tian Dun, Remonstrator, all studied calming and contemplation under Jingxi. Liang Su's record says: In Jinling, two daughters of the Huang family heard someone chanting the Lotus Sūtra when they were young. Listening to it, they said, 'We understand this meaning!' When put to the test to explain it, they were able to expound deeply on the purport of the true nature of reality. Later, they entered Anguo Temple in the capital as nuns. The elder was named Chifa, and the younger was named Huiren. Together they cultivated the Lotus Samādhi. Suddenly, a nun known as Aunt Kong, whose demeanor and appearance were very extraordinary, came to stay with them. Every midnight her body shone with radiant light. After three years of this, she departed. When someone asked the two nuns about it, they both smiled and did not answer. People said she was Samantabhadra. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 41.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.21) - [Next: 41.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.23) - [Up: 41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.41.22) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.22) · Pramāṇa
