34.58

The commentary says: Mātanga told Emperor Ming of the Han that there were nineteen places with Aśoka stūpas in Cīnasthāna. The Mahāsattva [Samantabhadra] told Liu Saha that there were Aśoka stūpas in five places: Luoyang (the Holy Mound), Jianye (Changgan), Maoyin (Yuji), Linzi, and Chengdu. Today, the nineteen places cannot all be known; but examining the five places, only the stūpa of Maoyin is visibly displayed in the world and accessible for worship. Truly, it is the good fortune of the living beings along the sea coast to encounter the Buddha in the final age!
