Wang Sui, Participant in Determining Governmental Matters, abridged the \*Jingde chuandeng lu\* into fifteen scrolls. The Institute for the Propagation of the Dharma compiled and catalogued it into the canon. ○ An edict ordered that postulants throughout the realm be tested on the recitation of the \*Lotus Sūtra\*, and those who passed were granted ordination. Song Shou and Xia Song, Participants in Determining Governmental Matters, were appointed to jointly supervise it. There was a postulant reciting the sūtra who could not pass; when asked how many years he had studied, he replied: "Ten years." The two officials laughed and pitied him; agreeing upon returning home each to take the sūtra and recite it, Shou took ten days and Song seven days without missing a single character (\*Guitian lu\*). ○ In this year, there were 385,520 monks and 48,740 nuns throughout the realm. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 45.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.15) - [Next: 45.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.17) - [Up: 45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.45.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.16) · Pramāṇa
