Under Emperor Wu of the Jin, Liu Sahe entered hell and saw the Great Being Avalokiteśvara, who said to him: "You may go to Luoyang (the relic at the Sage's Mound), Linzi, Jianye (the Changgan Pagoda in Jiankang), the shadow of Mao (the present relic on Mount King Aśoka), and Chengdu; in these five places there are King Aśoka pagodas. Prostrate and repent your sins." After he revived, he left home, taking the name Huida. Arriving at Wushi Mountain in Mao County, he heard the sound of a bell. Digging into the earth in search of it, he obtained a precious pagoda with relics. It flew to a mountain, and he thereupon built a monastery on that ground to enshrine the pagoda (this is the present Relic Hall on Mount King Aśoka). Emperor An decreed the construction of a pagoda pavilion and meditation rooms on Mount Mao, ordaining fourteen monks to reside there and guard it.
