> (Thirty) The Qi Director of Editorial Affairs Wei Shou composed the \*Treatise on Buddhism and Daoism\* in the \*Book of Wei\*. Its outline states: The teachings of the Śākya clan were heard of during the Former Han. During the Yuanshou era of Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing captured King Kunye and a golden statue, which was over ten feet tall. The Emperor considered it a great deity, placed it in the Ganquan Palace, and burned incense and prostrated before it. This was the gradual beginning of the dissemination of the Buddhist Way. When the Western Regions were opened, Zhang Qian was dispatched on an embassy to Daxia, and upon returning said that in Shendu, the country of Tianzhu, there was the teaching of the Futu. During the Yuanshou era of Emperor Ai, Jing Xian received oral transmission of a Futu scripture from the King of the Da Yuezhi. Emperor Ming of the Later Han dreamed of a golden man with a halo around his neck flying across the palace courtyard. Fu Yi was the first to answer the Emperor regarding the Buddha. The Emperor dispatched the Palace Attendant Cai Yin and others on an embassy to Tianzhu to copy the bequeathed models of the Futu; they returned to Luoyang with the śramaṇas Kāśyapa Mātanga and Dharmaratna, obtaining the \*Scripture in Forty-Two Sections\* and a standing image of Śākyamuni. The Emperor ordered painters to depict it, placing it on the Qingliang Terrace and at the Xianjie Tomb, and deposited the scriptures in the stone chamber of the Orchid Terrace. 'Futu' is also called 'Buddha', the sounds being mutually phonetic variants; translated, it means 'pure awakening', meaning that by extinguishing defilement and clarifying the Way, one attains sacred enlightenment.
