佛祖統紀 35.63

35.63

A commentary says: During the Three Kingdoms period, each state was occupied with warfare and defense, and none was able to promote this Way. Nevertheless, among the rulers and ministers of Wu, there were those who had some understanding; thus their building of monasteries, translating of scriptures, revering of relics, and discussing of Buddhism are clearly visible in the historical record. In the territory of Wei, only Prince Si of Chen was able to understand it; in Shu, there is nothing heard of it at all. It must be that the distant obstruction of warring states prevented its immediate arrival there.
