Its meritorious benefits secretly extend to both the living and the deceased. The sacred traces and bequeathed teachings are truly worthy of reliance. The responsible officials are ordered to erect and adorn statues and renovate monasteries in the capital, so that those who turn towards them with faith will have a place to rely upon' (History of the Wei). Taizu built a fifteen-story pagoda in the territory of Yu. He also built the two monasteries Kaitai and Dinguo, copied Buddhist sūtras and treatises, made a thousand-catty image, and held a daily assembly of three hundred eminent monks (Hongming ji). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.69) - [Next: 2.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.71) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.2.70) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [廣弘明集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.2.9) — Classical Chinese - [佛祖歷代通載](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.7.48) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.70) · Pramāṇa
