The Master was a man of Chen. Wandering abroad, he arrived at Mount Xiang and founded a Buddhist temple called Jingtu. Chan assemblies from the four quarters gathered like clouds to receive his teaching. At the beginning of the Huichang era, he suddenly said to his disciples: 'Monks will face calamity; you should change your robes and caps.' Overnight, his beard and hair both grew long. Donning purple mist robes, he called them 'Robes of Immeasurable Life'; wearing a blue sky cap, he called it 'Dharma Cap of True Emptiness.' Soon after, Emperor Wuzong indeed eradicated the Buddhists. When Emperor Xuanzong restored the Buddha-Dharma, the Master never again removed his \[secular\] robes and caps. The world called this a manifestation of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 42.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.49) - [Next: 42.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.51) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.42.50) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.50) · Pramāṇa
