Bronze statues were melted down to cast coins. At that time, a bronze statue of the Great Compassionate One in Zhenzhou possessed extraordinary miraculous responses.

When they broke its back, the arms of all the laborers fell off and they died; thereupon half of it was left untouched. An edict decreed that those entering pravrajyā must await their parents' command; the prefectures and commanderies were to compile monastic registries annually, striking off in due time all those who died or returned to lay life. Monastic registries began from this (Zizhi Tongjian). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.17.147) - [Next: 17.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.17.149) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036~en-mt.17.148) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.17.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.17.148) · Pramāṇa
