The śramaṇa Facheng of Wuzhen Monastery on Mount Yu in Lantian under the Tang left household life when young, lived secluded in the mountains cut off from secular life, and recited this sūtra more than ten thousand times. In accordance with the sūtra, he built a Prabhūtaratna Stūpa, a Lotus Hall, and a Lotus Platform. Upon the platform, he placed the sūtra, circumambulating it and performing repentance rituals. He also built a meditation room wherein he practiced concentration. There were very many miraculous occurrences, which are fully recounted in his later biography.
