At night he dreamed of a man approaching his bed, saying: 'Underneath here are bronze bells.' Waking, he dug immediately and indeed found two bells, using the green \[patina\] to complete the images. Later he used the bronze to help the Venerable Yuan cast a Buddha image; one remaining bell was borrowed for viewing by Xiong Wuhuan, the Grand Administrator of Wuchang, who then kept it. It is not known how Fa'an ended his life. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.50) - [Next: 6.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.52) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.6.51) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.6.51) · Pramāṇa
