42.23

會昌三年。上欲芟夷釋氏。詔令兩街述有佛以來興廢之際有何徵應法寶大師玄暢。撰三寶五運圖以上○勅天下末尼寺並令廢罷。京城女末尼七十人皆死。在回紇者流之諸道。死者大半。

In the third year of the Huichang reign, the Emperor wished to eradicate the Buddhist religion. He issued an edict ordering the Left and Right Streets to compile an account of what signs and responses had occurred during times of prosperity and decline since the appearance of the Buddha. Dharma Treasure Master Xuanchang compiled and submitted the *Chart of the Five Fortunes of the Three Jewels*. An imperial decree ordered that all Manichaean monasteries throughout the realm be abolished. Seventy Manichaean nuns in the capital were all killed. Those among the Uighurs were exiled to various circuits, and more than half of them perished.
