Today, at the svastika on the image's chest, gold leaf is still not applied, and the red color remains there. Work on the image began in the spring of the twelfth year of Tianjian and was completed in the spring of the fifteenth year. The seated figure is fifty feet tall, and the standing form is a hundred feet tall. In front of the niche, a three-story platform was erected, and gates, pavilions, and halls were built, along with communal endowments to provide offerings. Scholars and commoners from all directions carried incense and flowers, gathering from ten thousand li away. The coming and going of offerings and donations crowded the carriage ruts. After the image was completed, the ailment suffered by the Prince of Jian'an gradually diminished, and his chronic illness was healed. The prince was later enfeoffed under another title; he is the present Prince of Nanping. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.24) - [Next: 13.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.26) - [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.13.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.13.25) · Pramāṇa
