43.29

An edict ordered the eminent and virtuous Xuanchao and others of the capital to enter the imperial palace to recite the gold-lettered Tripiṭaka. The Emperor arrived in person, and bestowed purple square robes on them all. / An imperial edict stated: 'The lack of separation between monks and nuns truly disrupts the Dharma of the teachings. From now on, altars shall be established in nunneries for receiving the precepts, and Greatly Virtuous nuns shall preside over them.'
