When he arrived at the Eastern Capital, monks were prohibited from going out after midday. Dao composed a poem lamenting his fate. Han Yu thereupon taught him to write prose; he subsequently left the Buddhist monkhood and passed the jinshi examination. There was a certain Li Dong who admired Dao's poetry; he cast an image \[of him\] to serve him, and once called him 'the Buddha Jia Dao.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 41.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.58) - [Next: 41.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.60) - [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.41.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.41.59) · Pramāṇa
