Although Li's followers raised objections, he refuted them as soon as they spoke. At this, the Son of Heaven was delighted, and the inner palace praised him with sighs of admiration. Li Rong, unable to contain his anger, said: "For this kind of doctrinal explanation, why did you need to come all the way from Wu?" Yibao replied: "The land of the Three Wu has always produced outstanding sages; people with horizontal eyes and dog-like bodies have never produced any great figures of old." Thereafter, he lectured continuously across various monasteries, mostly using scriptures and treatises such as the Lotus Sūtra, the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Sūtra, the Madhyamaka-śāstra, and the Śata-śāstra to instruct the people of the time. In the first year of the Longshuo reign-era, the imperial carriage traveled to the Eastern Capital \[Luoyang\], and a special summons recalled him to follow. He repeatedly entered the imperial palace, his doctrinal debates galloping unchecked. He then expounded scriptures and treatises at the Jingtu Monastery; the seven assemblies rushed to attend, and all the high ministers arrived. His brilliant reputation grew even more splendid. Not long afterward, he fell ill and died at Jingtu Monastery at the age of fifty-one. Clergy and laity were grief-stricken, lamenting that the Dharma gate had been closed so prematurely. The Emperor grieved over his loss for a long time, and finally decreed that his coffin be escorted back to his former monastery on Jinhua Mountain. The glory of the imperial funerary gifts was celebrated near and far. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2060.15.32) - [Next: 15.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2060.15.34) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2060.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2060~en-mt.15.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2060.15.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2060.15.33) · Pramāṇa
