From his youth, he loved to cultivate meritorious deeds. During the Yixi era of the Jin, together with Changsheng, a practitioner from Chang'an, he established a temple in Powu Village in the capital. When they first enclosed the site and erected several thatch huts, they gathered monks and held a vegetarian feast. At midnight, two lamps inside the hall suddenly moved forward several dozen paces of their own accord, while the oil and wicks remained as before, without spilling. The great assembly marvelled in astonishment, and upon inquiring of the elders, all said that the place where the lamps moved was the site where a foreign monk in former times had erected the foundation of a stupa. Thereupon, they joined together to build it. Because the moving of the lamps manifested an auspicious sign, they accordingly named it Chongming Temple. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.10) - [Next: 13.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.12) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.13.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.11) · Pramāṇa
